rbs4159 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I still need a few parts for the altitude hold/pitch control systems. I need part #1895 pitch/alt on/off panel; 20022 pitch trim indicator; 11353 altitude reference chamber; 2982 5" servos (need 2 servos); and the pitch trim valve (don't know part #). I will pay top$ for any or all parts. Please email Richard4159@att.net or call me 831-234-6516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesalman Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have a Brittain B-5 autopilot in my 68F that works great other than the altitude hold. I have played with it a couple of times but no luck. I have manual trim so I was wondering if it was even possible to have altitude hold or are they just dummy buttons on the auto pilot for airplanes equipped with electric trim. Also I only have 22 hours in the new to me Mooney. I called the previous owner to ask but he will not answer my calls or return my messages.

rbs4159 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The B5 is a different system than mine, which is a B11 & B12. The altitude hold will work with manual trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Why not contact Brittain directly for parts or service. I understand they are quite cooperative. http://www.brittainautopilots.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 They are great to deal with (Brittain) but they do not normally have systems availalbe for install. They will repair/overhaul your system. They are located in Tulsa. -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbs4159 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks guys, I've worked with Brittain, and they are very helpful. Unfortunately, these parts are hard to come by, and my best bet is to find someone who has them. Even if they need to be overhauled I'm still interested, since Brittain will repair or overhaul any of their components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerobat95 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I wonder why they can't make new ones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N601RX Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Unfortunately some of their tooling has been lost or rusted to the point it is no longer usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 FYI, I posted a link in the classifieds to an ad on Beechtalk for a complete Brittain system for sale. It might have some valuable components for Mooney owners too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
