This has come up several times over the years. There is a small aluminum angle in front of the number 1 cylinder. You can see it looking through the front cowl. It serves no purpose other than reducing air flow over the number one cylinder. My mechanic made a new one about 1/2 inch shorter from scrap aluminum angle. It took him about 10 minutes. My no. 1 went from the hottest to coolest. Problem solved.

I believe the Plane Power will require some wiring changes. It has a built in voltage regulator whereas yours is buried behind the instrument panel.

Now we need a CB solution for the clear plastic wingtip lens $300+ last time Ichecked.

On my J the KFC 200 roll servo is in the right wing where the actuator rod for the aileron comes out of the wing. Inspection cover with pop rivets.

I’m thinking of ordering a cylinder from Boeing (Aviall ) Or Airpower. If my mechanic gets a discount I would like to have him get it and let him make a little profit. Otherwise i will just buy it direct.

How has your experience been with the Continental cylinders? How much time do you have on them? Do they have the nickle carbide bore treatment? Are the parts interchangeable with Lyc.? (valve guides, valves, pistons, rings, etc.). Sorry for all the questions.

Airpower shows to have Continental built Lyc. cylinder kits in stock https://www.airpowerinc.com/tist13-0ca

Are new ones still backordered for months? Are the Continental ones available? Who would be likely to have an exchange on the shelf?

Wow! Talk about fast service!

Jake you should be receiving it today. I was out of town when he removed it and he removed some other stuff too. Hope it’s not a problem to put back. Don’t know how long it took him.

AP does not follow heading bug or follow flight director in heading mode or level wings with AP on heading mode off. On ground test does not turn control yoke in response to heading bug. FD operates normally. AP computer tests good. Planning to send to Bevan Aviation. Thanks.

My mechanic is going to be removing the KFC 200 roll servo from my J so it can be sent off for repairs. He’s never done this job before. Any words of wisdom for him other than to charge double his normal rate?

It’s not stuck the autopilot just won’t function in either mode

I have separate GPS and VHF nav com boxes (Garmin 625 and Trig TX 56A). Nav output goes to a King KI 525. This is controlled through an Icarus IRU 525. This is a gizmo that plugs into the back of the HSI. There is a toggle switch for switching plus, if an ILS frequency is entered in the nav/com it automatically switches to that. This setup is left over from when I had a KLN 94. I think it eliminated the need for an annunciator panel. I think the Icarus may be causing problems and I can’t find much information about it. The company seems to be out of business although Google shows a company in Dallas to have repair capabilities. My question is how this switching is accomplished nowadays? I never see annunciator panels being installed and obviously Icarus is obsolete.

Is it listed somewhere?
