Mixture control
How can I convert my 1950 model a Mixture clip over to a verner mixture control?

It isn't a major alteration but you are changing a slip/stop mechinesm to a verner so you are changing the TC, a 337 can't hurt! just my thoughts!

Brad, I guess it can't hurt but CAR3 (under which the 170 was certified) states:bradbrady wrote:Guys,

"§ 3.627 Power-plant controls. Power-plant
controls shall comply with the provisions of §§
3.384 and 3.759. Controls shall maintain any
necessary position without constant attention by
the flight personnel and shall not tend to creep
due to control loads or vibration. Flexible
controls shall be of an acceptable type. Controls
shall have adequate strength and rigidity to
withstand operating loads without failure or
excessive deflection."
I would think either of the mixture controls mentioned above comply with this.

I'm not disagerning with you, it's just when you change any componet it is worth the 337, just becuse in the 337 you will give the time and date of the alteration if there is an issue down the road with the log books there is a start time to rebuild log books. I do a 337 every chance I get! but of corse I get $50.00 every 337! It still is a good way to go!

One of the "pet peeves" of the SAT GADO is Form 337's for simple radio additions, etc. They actually frown on unnecessary 337's. If it's not a major alteration or repair as def'd by FAR 43...it's not a 337.
