Ashe Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 I read an older post about installing electirc gear in a Johnson bar plane that referred to the reverse having been done at Dugosh. Assuming the plane is the proper year for manual gear, is this something that an STC exists for? Is this another one of those mods that was possible when field-approvals were easier to get? I've basically been looking for a manual gear 201-clone and have come across two, but had to dismiss due to shady sellers. There are a pair of electric gear'd 1968 F-models out there that, if I could convert them for a reasonable amount I might consider.
Parker_Woodruff Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 My guess is it'd be pricier than several years of electric-gear maintenance.
Ashe Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Posted April 23, 2011 That's what I suspected, but thought I'd ask just in case
