gmonnig Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Just wanted people to know there are travel boards for sale on eBay (I'm not selling them). I just had my plane rigged a few weeks ago but I'm sure someone will want these. Maybe we can pass these around for people looking to get their planes rigged. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144902915570?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4v9iG6qKSZ-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=zZcyuvqSQZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote
DonMuncy Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Somebody tell me if I am wrong! I don't think I would consider buying travel boards unless I was in the maintenance business. It is my understanding that the travel boards are not the end of the rigging process, but kind of the beginning. After setting with the boards, it needs to be test flown and tweaked until perfect. After that, without some major disassembly or accident, you would be unlikely to ever need them again. That being said, my opinion might change if they were extremely cheap, or if you plan to resell them. Then it would be kind of like renting them. 1 Quote

gmonnig Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Posted January 16, 2023 Yeah those went quick! I also agree that the rigging involves these board and flight testing. My friends Mooney was also rigged this last December and they are still tweeting it. Quote
Bunti Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Don Maxwell did my rigging a few years ago and the plane is still flying straight without autopilot. His rigging process was to fly the airplane first and see how it is doing. Afterwards he put the plane on jacks and rigged everything in regard to the travel boards and his flying experience. At the end he did another flight to check again and to adjust more things 1 Quote
kortopates Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 The ebay boards appeared to be out of the 50’s, perhaps during the A model. Not sure what models they were good for.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
