Dear Mooniacs, I am faced with a huge problem: My plane has been in the repair shop in Germany since October 20th, last year. The reason: one of the two turbochargers of the TISO 550G is defective after very few operating hours, i.e. even during the warranty period. After some back and forth, Continental Motors has requested the turbocharger for assessment without wanting to send a replacement. The defective turbocharger was delivered to Continental on January 2nd, which was initially contested but could be proven. Continental is not the manufacturer of the turbocharger, but Hartzell. So now the turbocharger lies with Hartzell and no one knows how to proceed now. In the meantime I have lost patience and ordered a new turbocharger on my bill. This was also delivered to the repair shop about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the turbocharger could not be installed. Because the mechanics of my repair shop left parts of the defective turbocharger that are now missing for the installation of the new turbocharger. Unfortunately, these parts are not easy to obtain, according to my mechanic. Now my question: Does anyone of you have an idea of how I get to such parts? I would be very grateful for tips. Happy landings, Jürgen

Hi Mooniacs, here is what‘s happening in my Acclaim Type S. The CB connected to the „GEAR DOWN“ lamp popps in flight after a couple of minutes (gear up). As soon as i lower the gear, I can push the CB the gear down light is lit and the CB remains in place. As soon as I bring up the gear the CB popps again. Any body out there with an idea? Thx for your help Jürgen N665AG
