Park Tool TS-8 Home Mechanic Wheel Truing Stand Tool,Blue,170 mm

Product Information

Weighing in at 4.5kg the TS-8 is a hefty beast, constructed from three substantial steel plates. There's a neat sliding dropout arrangement to fit any width of hub (up to 170mm), and the stand is long enough to cope with anything from a 16" wheel to a 29er with a tyre. One side of the stand is slotted, and into the slot fits a gauge to help you get your wheels just so. The TS-8 was an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane, with metal-covered semi-monocoque fuselage, oval in cross-section. The three-part single-spar wing, of semi-monocoque design, creating a transverse inverted gull wing "W" shape. It had a Tricycle retractable landing gear, and a 7-cylinder WN-3 radial engine in front, delivering 330hp take-off power and 283hp normal power to a 2.2 m diameter two-blade variable pitch wooden propeller. The PZL TS-8 Bies (Devil) is a Polish trainer aircraft, used from 1957 to the 1970s by the Polish Air Force and civilian aviation.

In 1957 the first experimental series of 10 aircraft was produced by WSK-Okecie (designated as TS-8 BI). A slightly improved main variant, designated as the TS-8 BII, was produced from 1958 to 1960 by WSK Mielec. The last 10 machines, TS-8 BIII, were built with better avionics, in total 251 TS-8 were produced of which 229 were the TS-8 BII variant. If you're the kind of person who likes to tinker then a wheel jig like Park’s TS-8 makes the whole process of fiddling with your hoops a whole lot easier, and building them from scratch a lot less stressful. This stand is aimed at home mechanics. It isn’t particularly cheap but it's very sturdy and simple to use.The TS-8s began to be withdrawn from Polish Air Force service in the mid-1960s, being replaced by PZL TS-11 Iskra jet trainers. Over 100 withdrawn aircraft were handed over to the civilian aviation ( aero clubs). Most TS-8s were finally withdrawn from civilian aviation by 1978, with three currently remaining airworthy. Two TS-8s were used by Indonesia. The aircraft was designed in response to a Polish Air Force requirement for a modern piston-engined trainer with a retractable tricycle landing gear to replace Junak 3 and Yak-11 aircraft. The main designer was Tadeusz Sołtyk – hence the designation letters TS. The plane was named Bies – a folk name for the devil. Work started in 1953 and the first prototype was flown on July 23, 1955. In 1956 and 1957 it beat three international records in its class. [1] The second prototype was shown at the Paris Air Show in 1957. The TS-8 had good handling and performance; a noisy engine being one of its few flaws. It was the first really modern aircraft designed in Poland after the war, that also used a Polish engine.

The first set presents the aircraft of the earliest production series (also known as ′′ news series ′′) made at WSK Okiecie (the next series of Bies were already from Mielce). In addition to plastic parts included, as usual phototraved elements and additional resin bomb launchers and photocarabin fairing. Plus two paint schemes. The planes from Ok ciacia from the later Mielec production differed that they had a steady jump B-3 propeller, a radio station's antenna mast installed on the wind and were armed with a wkm A-12,7. They could also take two 50 school bombs. kg on sub-wing launchers. We included all of these elements in the model.

Children below 7 years old qualify for child fares, which are half of the above-mentioned adult fares. From RWS to JB, en-route stops in Singapore are boarding only, and no alighting is allowed. Similarly, from JB to RWS, en-route stops in Singapore are alighting only, and no boarding is allowed. Published title: Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the one part, and the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community of the other part. Fuel capacity: 215L (56.8USgal; 47.3impgal) in three fuselage tanks, with optional under-wing tanks

The TS-8 is designed so that it can be bolted into place as a permanent fixture, or clamped to a table. It's pretty well behaved even if you just rest it on a flat surface. The plane had no armament, except for the experimental series TS-8 BI, which had one 12.7mm machine gun and two small bomb pylons.

The substance of the Agreement has not changed; however, typographical and other errors have been corrected and the Articles have been renumbered from Article 1 – 783. Variants [ edit ] TS-8 Bies TS-8 BII at the Polish Aviation Museum TS-8 3 prototypes. TS-8 BI First experimental series, 10 built. TS-8 BII Improved TS-8 BI. Main production version, 229 built. TS-8 BIII Version equipped with better avionics, 10 built. Operators [ edit ] TS-8 Bies IndonesiaSince the work on the 'seven-two' Falcon and C295 are still underway, we decided not to wait any longer with the third planned model (and basically models - all production versions) - PZL TS-8 Bies. I think every Polish aviation enthusiast knows this machine. It was the first after 1939 aircraft developed, designed and serially produced in Poland (so ' really ' serially ' - 243 Biesy were created). Also equipped with the engine of Polish construction and Polish production. In a word, TS-8 is asking for its plastic miniature. So far reduced 72 times, but... alright, that's on another occasion.
