...aaahh, yer just sayin' that...got any statistics?
Anyway, how can you have B-17 & 25 time???
I don't have an statistics, only what works in the field. The recaps lasted almost twice as long as a virgin without the flat spot factor. I'm just reporting what worked in my micro-cosm, if you want a disclaimer, "Your results may vary". My lawyer made me say that. Most of the recaps were on McCreary casings, a few Goodyears, but not many.
I used to work for a museum as a mechanic that had 30 flying airplanes, and I used to own a T-6G for several years. My taildragger training was in a BT-13. I went from flying a C-150 to a 450 hp conventional gear airplane. I sure learned what my right foot is for on a balked landing. The wing flaps on the BT-13 are manual crank up/down, 55 cranks for full deflection, makes for a busy time. My B-25 time is split between three airplanes, two CAF, and one museum owned.
