First Timing belt change.

[Stephen03]

Hey,

Just thought I'd let everyone know, I just changed my conitech timing belt at roughly 60 000 km, it was in terrible shape and I can remove most of the teeth with my hands. So don't push your luck, I'm glad I got to it when I did.

I put a Gates timing and balance belt on, a little belt whine but it should be ok in a couple weeks.

Working up North in a cool old hanger, Ill post some pictures of the aircraft I work on when I get home in a week or so.

Looking forward to the pictures!

Good job! I'm glad to hear you got it done in time

Definitely get pics of the aircraft! I'm a CFI and love looking at aircraft pr0n

also, for the record - aircraft go in a hangar, your leather jacket and silk scarf go on a clothes hanger

A little C-17 coming to get some gas from me.....probably my favorite picture I've taken of all the planes I've gave gas to.
