Wellp, so this happened lol Hoping to have the new tires put on in the next coupl’a days.

do we know if the flight custom III's 606C66-8 are suitable replacements for the flight special II's 606c61 B1? I have the special II's on my '75F mains now but seem to recall the custom III's lasting longer. tyvm.

I went back to the hangar and it looks like a new pin was installed, I have no idea how that happened! Magic! Works like new now. I just have to crimp the pin to make sure it doesn’t wiggle loose.

That’s really what I’m hoping for.

I’m more trying to figure out if you can have one gps nav source feeding multiple devices (ie aspen AND g5).

What’s feeding the aspen?

my aspen did brick lol. I really like the aspen over 2 g5's but as I mentioned the gfc500 and aspen don't play well together....yet. I'm just trying to map out options where I slowly get everything installed. I'm not moneybags so I can't just do everything at the same time. I'm leaning towards just replacing the aspen with a pro max for now. it's about 1/3 the cost of going g3x/g5 before I even get to the autopilot.

Thank you!

It’s actually just the metal “rod” that goes thru, not the spring itself. I was gonna try the aviation isle at Lowe’s to replace that.

1) The spring latch thingamajiggy on my oil door ('75F) looks like there's a broken piece. I'm poking around McFarlane but didn't see it initially. Has anyone repaired or replaced one of these? 2) I have an Aspen/GTN650 and the rest are steam gauges. If I add a G5, can I connect the 650 to both the aspen and G5? I'm wondering if I add the G5 now with the plans to eventually add the GFC500 autopilot down the road. Also, if I add the G5, can I legally get rid of some of the steam gauges and fly with the Aspen/G5 combo? I'm not the biggest G5 fan but I know garmin/aspen compatibility is limited at this time. Thanks!

And ‘sometimes’ those factory part numbers can be found online with new part #s, sometimes not. Like an alternator part # I had but was no longer made, I could still trace the old part to the new part #. As for doing this particular work myself, the plane is already at Wetwingologists. He doesn’t strike me as a “let me see if I can fix it” guy, he’s a “replace it with new or I’m not signing off on it” kind of guy. Therefore I just wanted to see if I could compare prices online. Thanks!

I have but admittedly I'm not great at reading it. but also I can't really seem to find much online on say part #610150-001/002. but thank you for the link.

thank you. so for the drain valves did he charge you the roughly $50 (maybe plus markup) or significantly, incredibly more than that?

I’m trying to see if the quotes from the wetwingologist dude are in line. Part #s will help me do that.

hi. can anyone help with part #'s, '75 M20F? thanks!

my plane is down for maintenance otherwise I'd be hammering out these flights.

thanks!

Do we know the correct voltage coming from the VR to the alt?

Zeftronics sounds like some cheesy 80's breakdancing crew or something. wiki wiki wiki wiki

hi. I have this OECO TCDS says this: Can anyone confirm the correct replacement for the OECO? thank you

goobered, agreed.

I did that. I have an avionics switch that has a normal up power position but also a down emergency position. When I replace the connections as they were, the avionics stack would get a blip of power but never power up completely. Then we tried moving the left ground wire to replace the right side ground and installed the battery ground the way they show in the instructions. Now the up switch fully powers up the avionics stack but the down emergency doesn’t nothing

Ok so the threaded post on the back of the alternator is stripped, which is probably why it’s been so difficult to tighten it up. Any ideas how to handle a stripped post?

Only thing I’m concerned about there is it has a different model number listed in that drawing.

My replacement solenoid has this funky spark plug looking wire that my existing one doesn’t have. Existing has two black wires, one connected to each post. Do I, uh I mean my mechanic, just leave the new wire connected as it came and connect the two black wires the same as they were on the old one? I, uh, I mean my mechanic is clueless with anything electrical. Thank you. I mean thank you on his behalf.
