Sabremech Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I almost finished the rear baffle panel on my upper cowl. Just need to put the flame resistant sealant on and it's finished. I also worked on a new air filter box today and am liking it so far. Much better than the fiberglass one I made for my airplane. I'll install this on mine and make sure it fits like I expect it to. David 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 420+ deg F CHT temps in climbout (in the winter no less) there are some serious holes in your doghouse. Just sayin....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ask if he has any sway with pushing Sabremech's STC paperwork through the FAA. Also tell him my engine burnt an exhaust valve for him recently as an offering 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those times where, instead of selling your strengths (where you make money), you may be required to buy your stated weakness (lack of expertise and tools) to do it for you. Like this. The unfortunate consequence of this action is complete and utter loss of any standing in the CB club. Sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be your choice, Raptor baby--buy some sheet metal work (took me two annuals' worth), or buy some new cylinders. Nothing personal, that's just how it is . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTaylor Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bump. David, How do we work with you to get a spinner kit for the 3-balde? Hartzell Part number: Hartzell 3 blade Spinner: A-2295-4P Mounting kit: A-2476-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 HI TTaylor, I'd probably just need to buy them through Hartzell or get TCB Composites to manufacture composite spinners. I've been fairly focused on the new cowling and will need to get back on the spinner options again. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Belville Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 @Sabremech, David, great to see you at Summit last weekend. I hope you had a lot of continued interest in the SabreCowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard great things about a little RTV silicone used to fill holes lowering temps. I need to see about that sometime myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
