I am interested also but too price will be a factor.
Thanks for looking into the autopilot deal

Seems strange that insurance co won't do the grass thing.
I have private 1000' grass and am insured with AIG.

I had regulator problems with the old Chevy type and tried to find a new one that looked like the old one. I found a new one but it looked different and I new that my IA would discover a "Car" regulator on the plane and would not accept it. I then ordered a new one from Zeftronics and when...

I am a member also and I would like to see a vote of members on this issue.

The reason I installed the B&C was due to an engine overhauler. As I had called anround to check on different pricing to do an overhaul, I indicated that I wanted to install a new and different type of starter, he told me that the Skytec model would not hold up to wear and tear as well as the B&...

I installed a B&C starter and I think it is great. Faster starts, a good investment. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Bruce, I have a freind with a 1957 172 straight tail. 0300 engine. He had simular problems, it turned out to be the Mag or Mags. I do not remember the cause exactly, he had them checked and I think rebuilt and no more problem. I really do not see why you have the problem either, sounds like somethin...

George, I never have been ramp checked either. I know of one who did and was sited for not having the carpet in the airplane to be fire rated. The FAA must have not liked him :cry: or something. My only concerned is that if it did happen if an individual was in an accident involving a fire, someone ...

Please remember that using off the shelf material must have fire retardent to be FAA approved.
Just a thought that might save you later headache if you are ramp checked.

I used Airtex for my seats and they worked out fine.
They do not look as good as if I had taken them to a shop and done a custom job but for the money they work and look ok. It did not take too long to do. Inspect our seats and paint them before re assembly.

I ordered from Wag Aero part Number A016000 an 8 inch venturi that is suspose to turn Direction, horiz and T&B. I really need only to do two of the three.
But the "foot print is different than what I took off. I really do not want to drill new holes. My girl has enough holes now!
Thanks
Dave

The foot pad measurements are 1.5 inches x 2.0 inches.
The venturi needs to be greater than a 4 inch preferably a 8-10 inch.
I am driving a Horiz and a Direction Gyro.

Any help is appreciated.
Dave

Dear Memebers: I need to install a new venturi as my old one will not drive the newer instruments. I made a purchase from Wag Aero and the "foot print" is not the same as the old venturi. I really do not like the idea of drilling new holes and filling the old. Is there a larger venturi tha...

How do I put pictures on the forum?

I have a set of wing tips that I removed from my airplane and put on the original type. They are Madras Air Service "Super Tips". SA 2454WE. They are FAA Approved for the 170 A and B models. They do not have a large droop and are made of plastic, if I remember right. I still have them. I c...
