  1. Snap on calls it a performance wrench, but icon sells a set of these at Harbor freight for 100 bucks, it’s a double box wrench, but the box is twice as deep and it’s very thin and it fits on those engine mount nuts perfectly.
  2. I ran the field wire under an adel clamp to the back of the plane power alternator, and all that had shrink wrap on it, and 600 hours it hasn’t broken since.
  3. Supposedly in that Coleal letter, it says replacement of small simple parts, not requiring complex disassembly. So you could say you replaced that wire crimp according to FAR part 43 appendix a.
  4. How would the FSDO even know about a 337? One copy goes to the Aircraft records in OKC and the owner has the other.
  5. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLu9d_JSELn/?igsh=MXVtM2NuejYwdnR1Mw==
  6. STC doesn’t allow for that.
  7. Yup it’s like George Washington’s axe. Replaced the blades twice and the hub once. Still has 4000 hours since new.
  8. Jerry Johnson is one of the best in the country. Right there in Dallas.
  9. There’s just so much complaints of stuff coming out of Kelly’s factory I would be very careful and very suspicious of anything overhauled by them. especially something with a single point failure such as a dual magneto. They were the ones that had their overhaul manual written to where they did not have to replace a single piece and call it an overhaul. So they start recycling a bunch of used stuff. And that’s how you end up with a distributor block from 1982 in your Bendix 1200 magneto, that was actually superceded by Service letter in the 90s at some point but yet there it was, built in 2017
  10. So have you seen any increase in cruise speed or other performance with this prop? And were you compensated in any way or given a discount on this propeller to market it?
  11. TBO is not mandatory for part 91 operators. But six years makes the 2400hr moot anyway. It might as well be 9000 hours and six years.
  12. Not to mention the amp-hour capacity is half that of the standard rg35 battery.
  13. perhaps, but if a new C214 is 10k then why.
  14. GAMI has been putting them on cardinals for a few years now. I dont know if it beats the McCauley 2-blade prop, which so far has been one of the best props still. https://gami.com/props/props.php here it was introduced in 2018 for 11K. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/january/24/hartzell-offers-new-propeller-for-cessna-cardinal-177b
  15. we do a lot of them and a week is normal. it often runs over for parts and then its two weeks. 2 months is when it need an engine.
