New member, new owner! I'm importing an E to Canada and Transport won't issue a CofA until I find the cover sheet to the STC for the Vernier Swivel portion - SA5606SW. Is there anyone with this mod willing to upload a scanned copy of this document? JR

If they become too much of  pain look into setting up an LLC in the US keep the plane registed here and just fly it to Canada then once or twice a year make a trip down south.  I'm sure there may be more to it than that.

The seller did it that way, and I did look into it but decided that there were too many hurdles to be practical. He had properties in the states and was flying regularly south so it wasn't a big deal. Too late to leave it US registered - already registered here. Thanks for the suggestion though. JR

That cable isn't that hard to replace. Just buy a non-vernier cable, put it in, import the plane, put the vernier cable back in and sell the other cable on EBAY.

Seems like a lot of work. I'm still hoping there is a kind soul out there with the correct document. JR

Speaking of vernier cables. Is there an STC out there to convert the throttle quadrant in some of our planes to verniers?

I kind of like it now that I am getting used to it. I can do several levers with one hand at the same time. I have learned to live with a little plus or minus on the rpm and say it is good enough.

I think KSMooniac is converting his J from the throttle quadrant to verniers out of the 81 he is parting out.

Be interested in seeing how that works out for KSMooniac. I'm glad to hear I am not the only one with the challenge of pegging an exact rpm or MP with the quadrant. It does give you that airline cockpit feel when you are pushing everything forward, doesn't it? :)

Things get too dicey .3 amu may be a good option.

This one always puzzles me.... Here you have a supposedly a PMA'd part for  the  original mixture control. However  for  the model  that I have ('67C) has mixture cable sheath with  steel thread fitting  attached to the cable sheath that goes through the firewall with a nut on one side and nut another.  So how can this be a PMA's part? ???? When I called Mcfarlane  ( several years ago) and ask them about  how would I attached cable sheath going through  the firewall  at the firewall (like in original  installation ) they said they could make me on NON-PMA'd  steel part that would attached cable sheath to firewall it was pricey if remember right. According  to Mcfarlane  installation instruction clamp  isn't suppose to be Aluminum clamp so you are not suppose use cable safe or similar firewall through fittings.  My understanding is  that a PMA part is suppose to be a part that has the form fit and function like the original part. If  I am  having to make special adapters/clamps /fittings to make installation  work and deviate from the  installation instructions. How is this a PMA's part???  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:    I guess we live in a world where if don't fit you just redefine the term to be able to sell  the part as a PMA part, however  should a plane go down  and lost of  life occurred because of this part. Who is liable  the  mechanic and  Mcfarlane and who ever else that has deep pockets that can tied to the case. :rolleyes:

Thanks again

I'm wondering if you sent the copy of your STC? Sometimes an "E" is put before the X in my address, when it is simply xplornet.com - no E. Try it again. Thanks JR

Our plane came with a vernier throttle.  The mixture knob was tough to move.  During the post-purchase squawk clean up I had my local Mooney Service Center install the PMAed MC600-72 Mixture Control.  The logbook entry references "McFarlane Drawing #1404, dated July 30,2002."
