My local Advance Auto Parts store sells starting fluid with an oil additive.
If you are going to use something like Liquid Wrench, you might be better off using WD-40 since it's not as thin and will lugbricate the cylinder walls in addition to being very flammable.
You can also purchase engine...
Page 255 of the TM I posted refers to the rear boogies and the brakes.
It's a relay problem. There are pics of the air tanks and valves, and a small trouble shooting section.
You will be very happy with your selection.
For all the naysayers about Apple being control freaks, complain all you want, but it all works together.

I posted the PDF from Axletech the manufacturer of the wedge brakes.

Chances are that the two "barrels" that do the spreading of the shoes are rusted up.
Jim,
The overheating issues aren't going to get better any time soon.
GE pulled the plug a couple of weeks ago on self funding the alternative engine, F136.
The GE/Rolls Royce team was a year later in the development of the alternative power plant. It became clear to our management that...
This topic has been addressed before.
The application is " Tap A Talk". I think the price is $3.99.
I've been using it since February when Verizon first got the iPhone.
It's not perfect, but works well enough for accessing the forums.
Quite possible that the lunette is hanging up causing the brakes to be applied.
I had issues with M105A3 trailers after they sit for a while the brakes will drag very badly. One the 105, there are 8 rollers that need to be greased.
Not owning one of the newest trailers trailer versions, I...
The CARC paint (MIL-PRF-53039) you are referencing is a solvent based system. It is a single component material.
My plant still uses some of this material (300-500 gallons a year) but has switched to the MIL-DTL-64159 waterborne material due to being a much easier product to spray, 1/3 the...
Please site reference to type 9 material to MIL-DTL-64159 coating.
There are only three types listed, I,II, and III, no type 9.

1. Parasitic rotation of the drive line is possible even with the transfer case in neutral. Since the automatic transmission does not lubricate without the front pump operating, there are bearings and sleeves that would not be lubricated. Is the rotation enough to cause damage, I can't say for...
The only thing I would do differently is to move the chain extension rings further out (closer to the trailer) so that in the event of a disconnect that the tongue of the trailer would not be able to drop to the pavement.
Any high quality solvent based epoxy will work fine.
Limit the amount of time between primer cure and CARC application or you'll have to scuff sand, and primer mist coat before application.
Mil-DTL-64159 type 2 is the way to go if you really need/want CARC.
I used Hentzen Coatings material only because my normal supplier doesn't make CARC, but can get me MilSpray material.
The type 2 coating is a waterborne product, sprays very well, and covers in one coat.
No such a thing as...
There is copper/nickel alloy tubing available which is used by most European car manufacturers.
Superior to the mild steel lines sold in the US.
No issues bending or flaring using common tubing tools.
That would be the cold air intake used for the vertical launching operation.
If you look at the intakes on both sides of the fuselage, they're closed off. The engines can't ingest hot air or they only make 40% or so of rated thrust.
On a side note, General Electric/ Rolls Royce pulled the...
