I just got back home from visiting my girlfriend in grand forks, ND who is attending University of North Dakota commercial pilot program.
My goodness the sugar beet harvest is something to watch. Amazing amount of manpower and machinery in motion both in the fields and at the stock piling yards. Seemed like half the vehicles on the road were either sugar beet trucks or something related to harvest. Local news paper said something like yield was averaging over 25 tons per acre.
Part of the visit was to see the 1966 cessna 150F that my girlfriend had just purchased to acrew more flight hours. While there I thought I would help her swap out the seeping fields tank drain valve. Oops. Old valve kinda galled the threads on the way out so new valve did not want to start and neither did the old one. Oops. So today's question is, what is the thread pitch so she can get thread chaser of correct pitch?
Thankyou
And here is photo of her and cessna. And also of a cute pedal plane in corner of hanger
