1962 Flying Cloud "Eco-Friendly" Reconstruction
Hey, I was wondering if you'd made much progress with the solar system. I'm planning on installing some panels in the near future.Posted 04-29-2010 at 10:23 PM by farmerfry -

Custom Aluminum Replacement Roof Vent for Our 62 Flying Cloud
Flyncld - Any progress or thought given to making a few of those vents for those of us who are way too challenged to take on such a project? I sure like what you've done, and would need 2 of them!!
Thanks - JimPosted 10-10-2009 at 04:05 PM by whitsend -

1962 Flying Cloud Gray Tank Installation
Greetings,
Take a look at the finished installation at the link below, and you will see what I did with the straps to avoid any chafing. As for the frame itself, this tank fit so tight that I actually had to tap it into place! Once strapped in, there is no room to wiggle so I don't think there will be any abrasion. Plus the tank is pretty tough stuff. The question is whether the opening in your frame is the same size or not, as they seem to vary wildly!

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

1962 Flying Cloud Gray Tank Installation
I will be adding a gray tank install on my 1963 Silver Streak so am very interested in your progress with your tank install as well as your other renovations. I do have a question about your final install of the tank. I would think if were installed as shown in the photograph that there would be some abrasion with the frame that would cause a problem down the road. Hard to tell how much room you have to add some type of protection between the tank and the frame. Thanks for the pics!Posted 01-26-2009 at 12:54 PM by mikealeus -
To Blog or Not to Blog...That is the Question!
I hope I was clear as I posted to both the blogs and the forum. Blogs are for people interested in long term projects. Forums are for exchanging information. If it is appropriate, post the exchange of info to the correct forum, and the project to the blog.Posted 01-22-2009 at 09:22 PM by FLYNCLD -

To Blog or Not to Blog...That is the Question!
Good information is lost to search function \
When you bolg it....it becomes esoteric and only a specific group of your friends will benefit from your project. I feel that these blogs from the Forums defeat the basic purpose of sharing our info. Blogging from the Forum is a good idea gone bad.Posted 01-22-2009 at 09:13 PM by Melody Ranch -
1962 Flying Cloud Gray Tank Installation
Have not actually used the toilet yet, interior is still gutted! However I have heard a lot of good things about it. We will give everyone the straight "poop" once we have used it! Make sure you check out the rest of the install at https://www.airforums.com/forums/f444...ion-47643.html
