Since I'm a dumbassed Pointy-head, what's the normal fuel flow rate at cruising speed? I know it may differ per model, but it should be close to the same for four bladed, -15 engines.

IMDS? Please enlighten me.

A few old slogans running around for HC's, anyone have any others besides these?

- We pass gas to save your ass

- If you scream, we will come

- The louder you scream, the faster we will come

I don't ever recall seeing a SATCOM antenna installed backwards either. Maybe it's a special type, or someone eff'd up.

They never listen to maintenance. Then, when the aircraft breaks, guess where the $hit rolls downhill to?

Gee, I didn't mean for my post on the casket to bring the site to a sudden stop.

Hopefully, everybody is just busy.

Derco used to supply us with some parts on occasion.

Not that I didn't love JFK, but that brass casket would make a hell of a beer cooler at a tailgater.

I can get you the drawings for them. Any decent machine shop could make them. Hell, I could probably do it in my garage.

Just give me the all the part numbers you need. It looks like:

3402045

3402046

403187

403188

403190

403192

The dashes don't make a diff for the drawing.

The stick is marked for JP-4, it states that right on the drawing.

I don't think that Salvador Dali could have done that good of a job.

I never got to fly with them, but I sure as hell repaired comm/nav problems on them.

See nancy punched in the face? That's so dem-o-graphic.

That's funny right there, I don't care who y'are!

We could probably have a new Federal Holiday!!!

I believe those adapters are local man tools. I won't be back at the office until Tuesday to make sure of it.

Are you talikng the 245 and 737 ring segment retorque?

Well, this doesn't specifically say Budweiser, but I believe the number I previously saw did.

OK, OK, I only copied the characteristics data. Here it is on WEBFLIS, with the part number.

No mil spec, but here is the NSN.

Yep, it was in the JG

One of the funniest (?) Mil specs I have run across looking for other stuff.

I couldn't find a conversion chart in the GE or the old -1 copy I have.

JP4 is a mixture of kerosene and gas.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/engines-fuel.htm

The official name is dip stick.

A density of 6.7 lbs/gal was to determine the calibration of the 394607-15 dip stick; therefore, the accuracy of the dip stick is affected by the actual density of the fuel and is not to be used to determine the accuracy of the indicator. The airplane must be level when using the dip stick.

I would assume since most of the jet fuels are kerosene based, that they would be close to each other.

I think the normal height loss in approximately 2" per thousand pounds of fuel. I also don't think you use the stick as a fuel measurement tool either. But then again, I don't fly them.

Thank you very much! It's great to know that there are people like you all that can share your expertise with us. I am going to build my model with the doors open and I wanted to make sure to do it right. When I get done I will send along some pictures for you all to see. Again, thank you all for your help!

Karl,

Here's a pic from the inside. You can see that the door bottom is just about flush with the door opening.

Another puzzler: what tech data would we use to remove/install the rescue equipment bins, forward (and above) the Benson tank on an HC-130P? I had hope when I found them mentioned in the 25GS-00-1...but there's no corresponding procedure in the 25JG-00-1. Got an LSET hitting here in less than 2 weeks and I get the feeling that the 1-1A-8 and the 1C-130H-4-25-1 ain't gonna cut it.

Thanks!

That's what they were using here at Moody, the GS and the 1-1A-8. You could also use the IPB, which shows all the hardware, -4-25-1, section 25-20-00, fig 9-9d.

Or, you could do what we are doing here now. The rescue bins and personnel equipment bins have been removed per request of the 71RQS commander to eliminate configuration problems.

If you are still looking... Of course, before anyone corrects me, those aren't the tracks, those are ribs, but the tracks follow the ribs up along the side of the fuselage.

You mean the bumper stops that don't have to touch the aircraft skin?

I believe the Radome glycol filler door was round, like on the AWADS birds, but it's been a while, and I've slept since then.
