I sure like the idea of that compact setup & long life batt, but it seems like a lot of paper work trouble for a bit of "cool" cause the setup I have now seems to serve very well & the issue of more paper work to build a new box makes a simple repair to the one that's been here sin...

brad, Naw I would prolly make a rack instead if there was some way to get by with it seeing as how it's already on the firewall as per the avcon lyc STC so being in a fully ventilated area it doesn't need a box. My background is all airline & large A/C I sometimes get confused about 337's STC's ...

dont know if this would be a hijack so I'll start a new thread.If I were to indeed build a new batt. box would that require any form of approval or just a log book entry?

P.S. thanks gahorn had the # but seeing as it's Sunday I was just hoping somebody knew the price.

$200.00 for the batt. brings it right up there to too terribly much! $700.00 is a lot for a new batt & box I guess its time to hone some of the old sheet metal skills & make myself a new box & use the rest of the current gil G25 up.Course Spruce has Batt. boxes & racks for $130.00 to...

just happen to need a new batt box.how much are they,can't seem to discover the price on the web site.I would be willing to give one a try if they aren't too terribly expensive.

Yeah,who knows which is worse paint shops that remove the flight controls & don't know what they are doing on re assembly or the ones that don't remove & rebalance but sign em off that they have. Fact is, most paint shops hire people that have no clue about airplanes anyway. They are just ch...

I bought a complete roller kit from Spruce & delivered same with A/C to the paint shop,thought I did a good preflight before leaving paint shop when paint job was finished.At home with all the time to pour over the A/C in detail found several things that were not correctly installed or incorrect...

At those prices it won't take you long to pay for a new hub ($2800) & be done with that AD for good. My guy only charges $75 bucks for the eddy current inspection.Of course everything is cheaper in Georgia.

Yeah,figured after I wrote that that it was prolly a case of over thinking which I'm not guilty of very often.Most often guilty of the opposite.

According to the info section of the A/C Spruce catalog the 'a' type pointed sheet metal screws are for self tapping into sheet metal & the blunt "B"type are for use with Tinnerman nuts. The two dif screws have dif thread pitches & the "B" type lock when tightened the las...

Depends on how far & how fast whether or not you might need to think of checking the wheel alignment ,if its correct to go forward its incorrect to go backward.It will not have a tendancy to follow like a trailer. If it has the correct tow in for forward movement then it will be towed out going ...

I think you will love that combination,that's the way mine is set up & I love it.I've had it since 81 & have never had a minute's worth of trouble from it.Your's looks great in the pics.Hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Just curious,in another post you mentioned an O360 Lyc. & then a 150 HP so I was just wandering if Lyc. has a 150 HP O360 or is it the smaller Lyc eng or ???

Truth is it don't matter which tools or spares you take they ain't gonna be the ones you need when you get some where else so you may as well go as light as you can on the tools & spares & load up on lux items like spirits & chow.I like smoked oysters & sardines in mustard sauce,bean...
