Nice video exactly how I did back in school

Is this so the bolts can't turn themselves out?

I can't believe you set ANYTHING on a Prop Blade!

How do you ensure that the holes in the bolt and nut line up?

he was pushing the limits of ground affect

👍🏽

I am glad you added the 7 twists per inch most don't. THANKS

This is helpful! (:

This is great! Explained well. Thanks

Nice and good Video. Thanks.

There was a good point made about slop in the gears. Don't rock the prop back and forth. Pull it far enough back to take out all the slack. I still don't understand why you have to time the engine off the number one piston. Yes, if you're replacing a magneto, you must do that. However, every cylinder has to fire at 25 degrees before top dead center. Not just the number one.

I think these wires are very thin and useless, any hard steel type washer cover is better to prevent it. 😊

why isn't Nordlock or similiar things used instead, which what I know, is safer than safety wire right?

Its ok but Not Good

This is SUCH a well done video, EXCEPT for the low video quality. I wish you'd consider re-doing this at better resolution. VERY VERY well explained. I'm not AP, just autos, outboards, small engines, made my own tester, modified Horrid Freight which turns out not to use standard orifice or pressures. Found a .040 jet which I used instead and some refrigeration gauges.

I'm an A&P and I want to share a great piece of advice on safety wire that was never taught to me in school. Always buy safety wire in a spool, never in a can. Figure out how much you need, then take the safety wire pliers and grab the end of the wire and use your other hand to hold the spool with the wire coming through your fingers. Then snap the wire between the pliers and spool, then cut the wire at the spool. This will create a straight piece of wire that has been stress relieved and is easy to work with and the wire will not unravel around the spool because the wire is inside the spool with just an end sticking out. .... I hope I described this well enough to be understood, leave a reply if you have any questions.

Very cool!

Reverseable safety lockwire pliers.

I love the cloud swirls off prop

CIWS TECH watches.... ... * heavy breathing intensifies* ..... very inside joke....

So are those special bolts designed for wire to pass through?

Forty three years ago I was taught how to safety wire. Somehow, I remember the seven turns. Good instructors I imagine 🙂

Why not use Nord Lock washers? Then you wouldn't need to wire them??

In case you just arrived on this planet, when you order Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, the sauce does not actually contain lobster as an ingredient: The sauce is just the kind of sauce one would put on lobster. It often contains fermented soybeans.

At 2:45 its best to put the wire into the bolt that is coming OVER the twist, meaning the one that if you pull in that direction (towards the bolt) it will tighten the twist. Also, it's best to not have any untwisted wire between the twisted and bolt hole, you've got an 1/8 - 3/16" or so of untwisted wire, that's not good because it leaves only one wire to hold the load not the twist. But other than that, good video. Thanks.

this is so informative

Too many twists

Great example of Mooneys on grass!

Show them how to do it on a Navajo or on a PT-6. Not quite as easy as this.

Almost never used anything but .32 thousandths. Funny thing with saftey wire is that you can scrutinize pretty much anyone's work, very subjective. Practice and learning the tricks of the trade help

Nice thx. I'd like to see the vid end with the list of checks the inspector makes to ensure correct installation, and a list or examples of common and uncommon failures.

That mag. impulse click isn't reliable. Like on my engine it has Bendix shower of sparks mags. There is no click. I use a bamboo stick in the spark plug hole to determine when it's close to TDC. Then put the connector in the spark plug hole and shoot the air to it.

41 thousandths... Good grief, the mental and vocal contortions you use to avoid saying 1 mil.

Is this before or after you torque them?

Helped me so much. Beautifully done.

The books are so outdated I’ll be glad when the FAA realizes this

very informative the safety wire done nicely.

Mr that is Not a Compressio. Tester, that is Cylinders differential testing

Thanks for the education.

Back when I was an electrician on the last USMC Squadrons of the UH-34s we safety wired way different, . Here’s what aircraft use today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb6Tnpdl3b_JkXk.html. On the 6 bolt pattern in your case, you start with 1 bolt (if it loosens, it tightens the next. Then there’s a measurement (I’ve forgotten) where you loop in the 1 wire of the last and start on the next. But the principal of “if it loosens 1, it tightens the next”👍. Great videos👍

Thanks for sharing this potentially life saving technique & knowledge on that budd 👍

This is wrong,The first bolt shoud start from the far side,

I learned this in the US Air Force as an AGE mechanic 53 years ago. Still comes in handy sometimes.

Is the wire supposed to go against the way the bolt tightens or opposite? 🤔

Whoa I would of never knew that a AH-1 would be here!😎🤙🔥

If the stainless wire is manufactured in China, , , you "FAIL",,, LOL

Por favor podéis traducirlo al Español los wideos gracias gracias lo necesitamos piloto español

I’m currently training for my A&P this really helped me thank you so much🏆🤘🏽💯

I think you did the first one poorly. Should have moved over to the next hole. Notice the wire is not able to exert any torque on the bolt head. The other ones you did before the video do. I think its a "do over". And extra sloppy as it is made to instruct others......

these actually became a meme in the Philippines
