Warbird Information Exchange

BDK: I just constantly checked www.gunbroker.com and searched "flare". They eventually showed up there. Those are the flare that were used in the M2 brass gun, but the majority of WWII birds used the 37mm? M8 gun.

sdennison: I'll try to hunt down some photos of my modern radio installation but this is basically how we did it. I wanted an aircraft that I could fly into my highly congested home base airport so I needed a Comm, Transponder, Encoder etc. However, I wanted these items to be easily removable so the aircraft would return to stock original condition. Our solution was to use a dagger pin style bracket located underneath the original panel, on the firewall. The male portion slipped into a female bracket on our radio package. That held the rear of the radio packing in place. Then two Adel clamps with two screws held in the front portion, in line with, and directly under the original inst panel. We rigged it up so all power rand thru one cannon plug and the two antennas plugged into two coax connectors. Therefore, two screws, a cannon plug, and two coaxes are all that need to be removed to make the plane original. This explanation may be confusing, but it's hard to explain without photos. I'll find some.
