Mooneyjet Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 Hello guys, it looks like my airspeed indicator has develop a leak when it was bench tested in the annual , know any suggestion as to whether is worth getting it overhaul or just getting a new one , like I said Before is my first airplane as an owner . Thank for the replys
garytex Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 I have been playing with this issue a little lately. The issues boil down to true airspeed vs airspeed, overhaul vs new vs junkyard and the speed markings that need to be put on for your model plane if you want new or used as opposed to overhauling yours which should have the right markings. Get a bid to O/H yours, especially if it is a true airspeed. The wait for markings from a factory is 4-6 weeks and a new true is $800 +/_. Probably quicker done at a shop. Used True for around $200 at junkyard, then you still need the markings. White has a true for a J in inventory right now, but wrong speed markings for you, I assume you have a C. Let me know how it falls out Gary
scottfromiowa Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 I have an extra out of my M20E that I would sell...
jetdriven Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Nonsense. Aircraft quality instruments can overhaul it and rescreen the face for <300$. www.flyaqi.con
OR75 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 AQI overhauled my A/P DG and I was i was happy with what their work
jetdriven Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 I have their DG and AI. They are fresh overhauls but work well, and their prices are 1/2 to 2/3 the going rate. No affiliation.
aerobat95 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Checked out their website.....looks pretty good, I will definately keep them in mind if I ever have the need....plus they are located in my old stomping grounds :-) I sure do miss Wichita, KS
