Another member is looking to upgrade the stacktubes to accept the lord style gear donuts , when I did mine I paid 300 for all three minus the rubber donuts......Any parts mongers want to sell the main stack tubes and collars for a reasonable price????? Any model from 66 to 76 will work.........

Actually its a little more complicated than that , I read a ten or 12 page article explaining speeds and flutter , and you seriously would need an engineering and math degree to begin to comprehend it .... I just don't approach the red line in any plane........

Actually Beech fixed the tails with a Mod , and they don't come off anymore , they never did unless the plane was flown outside of the published envelope......Fly any plane outside of its envelope and it will bite you ANY !!!!!

No you would need A KI202 , KI204 , KI207 , KNI520 , GI106 , , I do Have a kni 520 I could let go for 250.00 , Regards Alan

The BN2 (islander) is going to be the most cost efficient , both in acquisition , and in maintenence , Even if the others are 60 + knots faster on a 80 mile trip the difference is nominal as the approach and climb out will eat up approx. 40% of the mission , The problem as I see it is the weather aspect , as far as I know there are no precision approaches , and because of the SFRA you will always be under radar control , I don't think it will be (reliable) enough to be Viable.....

Anyone???? Buehler????

When I had my B I remember making a lot of replacement parts for the doghouse , pretty simple stuff ....

I have one , let me dig it up and see if it looks like it will work....

The Lasar cowl mod works well , and it is unbelievably simple to install , I heard a few horror stories about the ARI mod......

That's an awesome price . Southeast rocks...

Sale pending

1500 for a 90B is not going to sell on here ....Just saying...

This is not a Lycoming , this is a continental , the compression spec for being "low" is 40/80 ....If it runs good and is not making metal , than Fly it, these engines can run as far as 3000 hours safely , even though the TBO is 1700 or 2000 , TBO is a recommendation , not a requirement in part 91 , Also , as long as there is no "Catastrophic" failure , Continental will give full core value ....... Even if the crank is no good (IE var A.D.)

If you have bladders , it is part of the installation... As far as the breather on the Rocket , I think Rocket is still in buisness and could advise you....

Repairs , or installs ???

Tony , I will sell MY airplane for MY PRICE .....your agent is more than welcome to check it out , Happy new year !!!!

Buy my whole airplane , switch cowls , sell my airplane.....It makes perfect sense.....

Actually alodine creates a layer of corrosion , the same as blueing a gun .... just a controlled surface prep , as far as sanding , they are not sanding off the layer of alclad , they are scratching , or scuffing the surface for better adhesion of the base coat.......

These are being sold Brand new from Garmin for 2300.00 if you buy an experimental flight deck.....

I like the way he "discounts" the benefit of having insurance , You pay for a service that you may or may not use .... But its there and thats what you pay for......

Not stupid , just lucky.....

You get what you pay for , as far as sanding , you have to scuf the metal to get the paint to adhere , even if you strip and alodine , if not the paint flakes off in ten years or so , 9K for a strip and paint is very low , Beware of prices too low...... As long as they don't sand off rivet heads it will be fine , a quick hit with a DA with 320 on it will not remove the Alclad , unless you sit there with it and hold it one spot , they are probably going to scuff the metal , the whole plane in about an hour after it is stripped and washed.... I saw a king air in an insurance auction a few years back where the paint shop sanded off the rivet heads... What a mess.....
