[QUOTE="Evilspyderman, post: 9710616, member: 78762"] The Army counts man hours like this, Number of people times the hours taken to completed the job equals man hours. It was a long process because we were trying not to just take it apart and replace everything. It is too easy to just to change parts out, because of the cost of the parts we inspected everything with a technical inspector with us. We had to take it apart, clean everything, inspect it, measure all the critical componets, repairing everything we could, and then get all the new parts from supply, and start reassembly. It took my friend and I a while. Back to the man hours question, 2 of us + 2 technical inspectors for all of that above. Then it was 1 Maintenance Test Pilot + 1 Pilot + 2 Crewchief's + 2 more Crewchiefs assisting the other two but not participating in the test flights. The majority of the maintenance time was because of all the follow on maintenance required to balance and test all the new parts and then release the ACFT for flight. Aviation maintenance is way more time consuming due to balancing everything and safety procedures. P.S. Just reinstalled my trans today with my new FRPP Clutch fork and FRPP HD TOB, and LDC free play mod. Runs great now!! All that slop/ rattle is gone from the pedal. Shifts way smoother. My SPEC TOB was toast and the spring clips on the stock clutch fork that hold the TOB and attach it to the pivot ball were toast as well. I also installed my 2.76 pulley and idler set with my tune from ATS!!!!!! Oh so fast now but I need send these toyo's off in style and get some DR's to go on my new 18" black chrome saleen's!!!
