MRI engine MicroMonitor (Celsius) for sale - best offer ($1200 original price.) Upgrading and selling the microMonitor. Excellent condition with original manuals. Worked reliably for 6 years. Displays all you need: CHT, EGT, oil press/temp, fuel flow rate, RPM, OAT, fuel press, etc. etc.   (The D10 is no longer available.)
BN-1 spinner rear bulkhead plate - $30 8" dia BN-1 rear bulkhead plate. SAE #2 bolt pattern. FAA-PMA $69.75 at Aircraft Spruce Part Number 10004-R.
A-950 control cable - $20 A-950 push-pull control cable. 88.5 inches long overal.
Misc AN fittings and Hour Meters - half price. Here is a collection of AN aluminum fittings and parts. A number of specialized, hard to get fittings and a few I even machined myself. Just what you may be looking for. The two hour meters have 155 and 304 hours. Just pick the one that has less than your aircraft and then connect a 12V battery until the hours read what you need. Had an accident twice where the hour meter was connected to power when I was fixing things and the hour meter went beyond real time - so had to buy a new one and run it until it went to the proper time.
IVO magnum 66" dia pusher blades, 45" to 105" pitch range, $550 Used, good condition. About 60 hrs on blades. These are left hand blades for standard aircraft engine pusher configuration. AFAIK it will also fit the Tracy RD-1B redrive for tractor and RD-1C for pusher configuration. I sold the IVO hub so I have the blades left over - good for spares if you trash your blades like I did. New blades from IVO are $960.
Seat belts with single shoulder strap - $20/each - 4 available I got these brand new from JCWhitney.com (currently $35/each). They are manually adjustable which saves weight of a retract system.
Saber 6" prop extension kit for Franklin engine - $make offer Brand new, still in the box, Saber 6" prop extension for the Franklin 220hp engine flange. Complete with 7" crush plate & bolts - SAE-2 4-3/4 bolt pattern with 1/2" dia bolts. Paid $594 new. Make offer.
Firesleeve for 3/8 fuel hose - $5 Brand new. 1 foot length. For 303, 601 or rubber fuel hose.
AEROQUIP 601 fittings - $20 Two 601 fittings as shown mounted on 10" of AEROQUIP 666-6 hose (3/8 ID) This did not suit my carb app since it is too rigid for the tight bend I needed. The two fittings were $31.18 from Wicks. I noticed some seeping of fuel on the hose connections so you will have to get new hose.
5 feet 1-3/4 CAT ducting - $10 ($17 from Spruce/Wicks).
Aileron A5/A2 complete bracket set - $20 Got these to make a new aileron but they arrived late.
About 40 lbs of various aluminum stock. - $40 This is quite a bit of very useful aluminum left over from my project. Best if come and get this. The last photo with the large sheet just has dust over its plastic cover.
Hydraulic actuators (cylinders) - $50 each Got these four left over from my project. All good working condition. 2 - brass body, 1.5" bore, 3.75" stroke, 1500psi working pressure 1 - brass body, 1" bore, 5" stroke, 1500psi working pressure 1 - steel body, 1.25" bore, 3.25" stroke, 5000psi working pressure.
* 70A almost new alternator - $120 + S/H I went through several alternators before solving my problem. This is somewhat larger capacity than I needed. I hunted this one down because it has CCW cooling fans, the same direction as aircraft engines. Automotive alternators are generally CW. The ones sold by Vans/Spruce, etc. for experimentals are CW and have the wrong cooling fan orientation. I converted it to a single grove pulley - took some machining to get the right pulley bushing. Anyway this is an excellent alternator weighing just under 10lbs.
Metal 7x12 Mini Lathe - $375 This is the longer bed version of the popular mini lathe type (about 4" longer than the standard 7x10 version) and sells for about $500. This is extremely useful if you are building a kit. It includes the extra turning bits and drill chuck, along with usual gears, etc. Shipping is extra - nice if you could pass by here and haul it off (about 90+ lbs). I may or may not sell this depending on mood. I keep using it occasionally and saving money.
SQ2000 cowling for sale - make offer Factory price $3000.00. This item is offered for sale by Ken Hodge from Franklin Tennessee. Contact him at 615-791-4753 or by email "ken37064 at bellsouth dot net.

Other Useful Information:

05/21/2010 Update: The Mig welder performance was deteriorating to near useless - even after replacing the gun assembly. I replaced it with a Hobart 140 Handler. It is a great welder and got a great price - $450 for welder with cart at local Runnings farm store. I had the old welder for 9 years and felt the purchase was justified - and spouse chipped in to help with cost (near my birthday).

Small Metal lathe:
I found this tool extremely useful for making small shafts, odd size bushings, threaded aluminum rods, etc. For sale (after plane competion) or for small fee will do small jobs for you.

Suppliers I found:

www.sdp-si.com
This company has a lot of unique gears, pulleys, shafts, that you may not be able to find at standard kit aircraft suppliers. I purchased the telescoping universal joint (part number A 5X 8-SE3216, about $166) for the yoke adaptation to transfer the yoke compound telescoping/rotational motion to the ailerons. According to their ads, they also customize parts for your needs.

www.fiberglast.com
This place has lots of fiberglass supplies - including KLS E-glass at lower price. Their System 2000 epoxy appears to be high strength and high Tg temperature and cheaper than the Hudco stuff recommended by KLS Composites but it is thicker requiring some extra scraping, etc. for wetting. It appears that their System 2000 epoxy is the same as AeroPoxy available from Aircraft Spruce at a lower cost.
