M20JFlyer Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Would appreciate any suggestions on others results with gyro OH I have a king KAP 150 AP in a 91 J that uses the KG 258 AI ... P/N 060--0020-01. S/N 11667 Any one had overhaule experience with King AI OR THE 525-A HSI recently Based in San Antonio Thank you in advance for any comments Pat. Quote
carusoam Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 See if Bob Bramble is your kind of guy. Highly recommended for gyro instrument overhauls and the like.... http://www.aerolabaviation.com/AEROLAB%20AVIATION%20CONTACT%20US.html Best regards, -a- Quote
laytonl Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 +1 for Bob Bramble. He did my 525 HSI two years ago. I haven't done the AI though. Lee Quote
PR474 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 Bob Bramble did my AI about six months ago. Quick turn and fair price. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
preinke Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 +1 for Bob Bramble. He did my KG258 a couple years ago. Very professional with quick turn. Quote
CCowboy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 I did mine about 8 yrs ago, was sent out from avionics shop. BUT: this is your chance to slap in an Aspen. That is my plan if I need another overhaul. For backup AI, use a R C Allen electronic AI with battery backup. Time to get into the 21st century. Quote
FlyDave Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 I used Bob Bramble a few months ago for my KI-256. No BS kind of guy. He's not the cheapest but he has a long list of satisfied customers. But I also agree with CCowboy (does he studder? no, wait, his name is Chuck ). I have an electric AI in place of my TC and it has been flaky since I bought the airplane. I'm in the process of replacing it with the RC Allen 2600-3 with inclinometer. I AM THROUGH REPAIRING/BUYING MECHANICAL GYROs! If that KI-256 craps out again I'll get something solid state (maybe an Aspen). Quote
Marauder Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 I AM THROUGH REPAIRING/BUYING MECHANICAL GYROs! If that KI-256 craps out again I'll get something solid state (maybe an Aspen). But, but, but... They are fine Swiss watches! Jewel movement and all... Where's Peter Garmin when I need him? Quote
mcpilot Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 Bob Bramble used to work for King. He did my gyro/flight director. Great service and very reasonable price... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
