Turn Coordinator replacement

[OR75]

Who supplies the replacement unit makes a big difference 
if someone shows up with a new unit bought at Spruce or other and asks the shop to perform a 15mn job, things won’t add up.

Obviously every job is different and maybe they ran in to some difficulty with the wiring or the connector or something. But I find it hard to believe a technician took an entire day (assuming 8 hours at $125/hr) to change out a TC. And yes, I am an A&P/IA and I have replaced mine in my Mooney... I would be embarrassed to hand an owner a bill like that. If for some reason it did take that long due to some complication, I would be sure to explain it to them.

It only took a couple of hours to replace one on the museum DC-3. And that requires climbing a 14-foot ladder and crawling into the nose to access the  back of the instrument panel!

Sounds much easier than crawling under the Mooney panel on your back
