Not that odd since I was talking about the mid 1960s, not 1940. That's 25 years later. My ORERs only go up to 1959, at which time the OWR&N marks were still in use, but they were diminishing. I was

The UP B-50-24 and B-50-27 classes (including OWR&N and OSL) are noted as actively being relettered in the 1963 ORER i.e. it was not yet completed by that time. A good chance to

I’ve been using a couple of eye bolts to align the air pipe, giving three points of support, the bracket, and the two eye bolts. Canopy glue seems to work fine in this application. Nelson Moyer

I have tried “canopy glue” with poor results … unfortunately the term “canopy glue” covers several products from various manufacturers, and they are NOT all the same product. What I have

Interesting I’ve never had this problem with CA. I even have a few friction fit and they stay put. Maybe your holes are too big? Brian J. Carlson

The only problem I have with the HiTech air hoses is that of fastening them on. The silicon-rubber resists all common adhesives (ACC, Goo, Shoe-Goo, white glue, acetate cement, Gorilla glue, epoxy,
