Sorry C model here. But I usually fly above 8000 so I can get fuel flow down. (JPI 700 on board). Please provide me with your power settings/altitude. -

To eliminate any confusion O and N IS out of business. Myron Olson and his wife have retired. The business was split up with some of the existing employees purchasing the repair station and Griggs purchasing the STC's. -

And in addition I think the Flightstream 510 (around1500.00) is in my future. No installation costs. Just insert the SD card in the slot in the front of the 650/750. -

As I understand it the answer is no. What they do is create another access panel in the top of each wing in the bay adjacent to the outermost bay that contains one of the existing bladders through which they insert the 5 gallon bladder. So they just add another oval access panel in each wing. -

The price is 4700.00 installed with 5 year warranty. No sales tax in PA on aviation. I should've done it a couple of years ago. Price was 3800.00 then. And the current price is the same as O and N was charging before the businesses split. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I had O and N install the 54.8 bladder mod in my C model in 2000. Have had no problems since. My mission is primarily KHVN to KAPF and back approx 6 times a year....mostly in the winter months. I've thought about upgrading to a newer model....perhaps a 201/231/Eagle/Ovation but at age 63 I just don't think it's worth it. Instead I've spent more money than I want to think about adding a GTN650, GNC255A, GTX345 and GMA350C. Early on in or around 2000 I had an STEC 30 installed and add a DAC 31 for GPSS when I had the 650 installed. Very happy with the setup and it works great. Anyway, I've decided to add the 10 gallon bladder add-on to raise my fuel capacity to 64 gallons. I've decided on this for a variety of reasons. Usually I make only one fuel stop on the 1030nm trip that is KAPF KIZER SGJ STARY CHS then usually KCPC KEYF OR KHRJ for fuel, CCV SIE KPK KHVN. Several times during IMC I had to eat in to my reserves to make my fuel stop at say KHRJ when if I could've continued for another hour VFR conditions would have prevailed. In my view those extra 10 gallons would make a huge difference in that scenario. I've also flown into the Bahamas and would like to make the Virgin Islands a future stop. So again 64 gallons would be a plus. I'd like to hear from list members regarding the following: 1. I know that even with the add-on non stop to KHVN would probably not be feasible except with a good tailwind. If anyone has suggestions in this regard I'd like to hear from you. 2. With the new setup what advice could you give on routing from KAPF to the Virgin Islands. I've really got the airplane where I want it to be and I know there will be naysayers that will suggest a 201 or Eagle/Ovation might have been a better choice. I also know that folks will say "you'll never get your money back when you sell". I understand that and to me that's not a issue since I'll fly off the cost of the upgrades over the next 10-12 years in added utility, convenience and reliability. However I'd really like to hear from list members with specific advice especially if there are any of you who have purchased the 64 gallon bladder mod. Side note: O and N is out of business. The STC's for the bladders has been purchased by Griggs Aircraft located at 76N which is a short distance from Seaman's Airport where O and N was located. One of the Griggs brothers worked for O and N and has about 200 installations under his belt. So no concerns there about expertise. Thanks for you help and advice.

Sorry spruce and McFarlane are .062 not .067. .062 is too tight. -
1962 C ser#2257. Here's my problem: I need .047 inner solid carb heat cable assembly. My carb heat cable broke. Want to replace inner wire assembly only. But wire diameter is .047. Seems like .067 is standard now. Tried McFarlane and Spruce. They only have .067. Tried that size but fit is too tight. Called Maxwell. He said Spruce cable should fit but website says its .062. Suggestions for sources/thoughts?
