Do you have a part number for the Cessna flap gear

I sent a followup message to email John Smoker that they were taking orders and would run a batch as soon as tgey got 50 people willing to pay in advance...but no, Don never responded. Order directly through Lasar, contact John@lasar.com

What are your magneto timing set at...there is a SB out recommending going from 25 degree timing down to 20 degree timing, lowers CHTs and helps with engine start

Never thought about calling AOPA...thanks, will give them a call...

So, my aircraft falls under "antique" and therefore smaller letters are good to go, but once again, you go down the next table to "fixed wing aircraft" and it blankets 12" requirement without referencing antique aircraft..so the advisory doesn't seem to clarify anything...lol

So, if I go back to paragraph 45.22(b) and taking it as it says, there would be no reason to continue to read beyond 45.22(b) as it already stated that the smaller numbering is applicable to my SMALL, built more than 30 years ago aircraft...key wording in 45.22(b) stating SMALL U.S. registered aircraft...whereas 45.29 just states "An aircraft" which would lead me to believe ANY Non-small aircraft regardless of age if repainted unless exempted. Will be interesting to hear what the FSDO has to say if they respond..

Lol, when is the last time you've dealt with a FSDO I have an inquiry into the local FSDO...we'll see...

Thanks, that's the one that led me to believe that it would be ok...and the one that I'd like to rely upon...I appreciate your time and assistance. Merry Christmas matt

LOL, so are you saying that you believe that my 60 year old M20E has the option....I'm (unfortunately) thinking that once it goes into paint, regardless of age, that I'm stuck with the 12" Registration....wonder if they'd ever make an issue over it.. Unfortunately I'm not an original paint scheme or it probably wouldn't even be noticed.... § 45.29 Size of marks. (b) Height. Except as provided in paragraph (h) of this part, the nationality and registration marks must be of equal height and on- (1) Fixed-wing aircraft, must be at least 12 inches high, except that: (i) An aircraft displaying marks at least 2 inches high before November 1, 1981 and an aircraft manufactured after November 2, 1981, but before January 1, 1983, may display those marks until the aircraft is repainted or the marks are repainted, restored, or changed;

Aircraft currently in paint, wanting to go back to original size (smaller) registration number as opposed to 12". As I'm reading through the FARs it seems to indicate in one section that, due to the age of my aircraft, I can have the smaller registration numbers, but then the next section seems to say that retaining the smaller registration numbers don't apply IF I have the aircraft repainted....can anyone provide clarification. Primarily want the smaller registration numbers so it doesn't interfere with the paint scheme I'm wanting to go with, and I figure if I fly to the Bahamas, I'll buy some temporary 12" vinyl Numbers. TIA Matt

I'd go ahead and give them a call

I have the official drawings for the Mooney 3" Pedal Extensions but wanted to check to see if anyone on here has a set that they either never installed or removed before I go through having a set made. TIA V/r Matt

Just have to call Lasar back and ask how many more individuals they need before running a batch, they initially said they need 50, figure with the MSCs and individuals wanting/needing them that they would have 50 by now.

Chances are, when you torque it down it's going to protrude past the nut and apply even more pressure against the window. Really the only alternative would be to rotate the collar to get a little more space between the nut and window and grind down the end of the nut so it doesn't protrude past the bolt..

I just bought this for the pilot side..wrapped in leather, costs less and looks great, to me anyways.. https://www.cygnet-aero.com/faq

Call https://www.aerofluidproducts.com/ they bought out Dukes in 2018, they may be able to provide some insight

I didn't think those were available for certified aircraft

Certainly, if you message me your email address I can email you some other files to include checklist, GFC-500, checklist and malfunctions, etc

Check to see what your mag timing is, when I bought mine the mag timing was still set to 25 degrees even though Lycoming put out a SB to reduce the timing to 20 degrees, once the timing was changed that not only lowered my CHTs but also improved engine starting. V/r Matt

Well, while descending out of altitude today the altimeter started acting up, it wouldn't indicate a descent, then it would drop 500-800 feet, would indicate a normal descent then stick, then drop then work just fine...can anyone recommend a good repair shop....static ports are clear.. Tia

Contact Don Maxwell with the photos.

Did you call them.

I sent the discount pricing info for first 50, but undestand your skepticism. I asked John if they were going to purge their website of items they haven't had for years nor could they get and didn't really get an answer, and then you listen to their plea to have us join the assurance program that is vauge to say the least...not sure who their marketing person is, but they need a better one when it comes to the assurance program.

Did you see my seperate post regarding the worm gears?

You can always demodify it and go back to original
