CGBOI Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 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 Quote
carusoam Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Check with the manufacturer of the vernier??? Welcome aboard! -a- Quote

1964-M20E Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 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. Quote

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 Quote

N201MKTurbo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 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. 1 Quote

I'm still hoping there is a kind soul out there with the correct document. JR Quote
Marauder Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Speaking of vernier cables. Is there an STC out there to convert the throttle quadrant in some of our planes to verniers? Quote
TTaylor Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 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. Quote

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? Quote

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??? 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. Quote

Thanks again Jamie send me your email and i will send a copy of mine to you 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 Quote
FlyTester Posted June 8, 2013 Report Posted June 8, 2013 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."
