I retired 5 years ago. I know Whelen outsourced the composite fabrication. I am not sure what the status of the cowling is. I would call 800-859-4757 and ask for Jayde. Regards Curt

I appreciate your post thanks.

Thanks I contact Wisconsin Aviation who now sells Bruce's stuff. They are sending me a sample. Curt

Great explanation thanks. Curt

Thanks I will check their catalog. Curt

Thanks I contacted them and they are sending me a sample. I appreciate your help. Curt

Thanks I will contact them. I appreciate your suggestion. Curt

I just had a new leather interior put in my 201. The interior color is light grey. The shop used black edging around the window. I would really like to replace the black edging with light grey. Any suggestions where I can purchase some? Thanks

Thanks I will definitely check out the plugs, I appreciate your post. Curt

At 5000 feet I shut both mags off and the radio sounded great. With the mags shut off no radio noise. So I think it definitely an ignition problem. I had the mag rebuilt and during the rebuild most components were replaced with new. The harness is at least 14 years old and was folded back on itself and tied with stay straps because two of the cables were too long.The shielding is coming loose at the nuts that attaches the cable to the spark plug. I think the harness needs to be replaced. I am running out of things to change. I have been to see two avionics specialists. So far with little improvement. Hopefully this will fix it. Thanks for your posts. Curt

I have been fighting a radio noise issue for a while. We determined it was ignition by switching the left and then the right mag. The noise was still there but not as loud. We shut both off and voila no more noise. I think I need a new ignition harness. Does anyone know the part number for the harness? My bird is a 84 201 with A IO360 A3B6D. Thanks Curt

Thank you for your post. Reloading the approach allows you to use the IAF as a transition. I guess reloading the transition only applies if you didn't use the IAF as the transition when you first loaded the approach. What are the other 5 GPS tasks pilots don't know how to do? My instructor may have told me how to but we were in very crowded airspace and in the middle of the holding the tower said cleared for the approach so we joined the course line. Thanks again. Curt

Thanks Adam I appreciate your help. I will have to check it out in my plane tomorrow. Hopefully I have it now.

Adam good to hear from you. Happy New Year! You know that is what I thought but yesterday I was doing an IPC and my instructor wanted me to hold at an IAF which was in the center of the T. I pushed the hold at a fix button and the hold it depicted was on the wrong side of the course line. Then the tower cleared me for the approach so I didn't really get the chance to sort it out. Holds happen so infrequently that it is easy to get rusty. How is the original Super 201 cowling holding up? Curt

Ok thanks I appreciate it.
