I would think there’s a bunch of old cases available too, heck I’ve got two gathering sawdust in the garage. And I have two as well Jim, but neither of us are in Croatia. :wink: Actually I have one 5 hole and one 3 hole, the last a variant found on C-125 and early C-145 engines that must be used wi...

So after working with this person over a weeks time and having worked through what accessory case he had, as you can see I wanted to discuss the fact that there is a new style accessory case in the 0-300 IPC, and it works different with a reversed oil pump, but I'm not sure how. Then my first email ...

New style accessory case? What am I talking about. Well as much time as I've spent looking through the C-145/0-300 IPC, I never noticed this before. There on page 16 is the good old accessory case we all know but what's this on page 18? Must be a mistaken duplicate of page 16 but wait, there it is i...

Appreciate you sharing with us. Can't imagine a trip such as yours or owning a plane of the same caliber to do it in.

Is silly a Canadian measure Jim? Do you know if it is a skosh more or maybe less than "a wee little bit"? We need to know.

I suppose we'd have to dig up the reg in CAR3 that required an audible stall warning and see what sound requirements, if any are there. If any a test would have to be conducted by the installer to show the piezo horn met the requirements. Otherwise I's say the Mallory horn meets the requirement of s...

Gary, can't say what goes wrong in the Cirrus transducer, nor could I say what went wrong on the one in the 182. On the 182, in the bad transducer, the vane moved with seemingly no friction, could be something in the creation of the signal sent. I was told to replace it so not much trouble shooting ...

I have some experience with Mallory SonAlerts and they may fool an IA during inpsection whle it’s sitting and being tested in the hangar….but it will not likely be loud enough to be reliably heard in-flight except perhaps in a power-off stall and no headsets. George, I wonder if the Mallory SonAler...

I'd thought I'd posted this just after Jon created the post. Must have not hit the submit button. Jon had PM'd me on this subject prior to and at my suggestion, creating the post. I'm not sure if Jon had talked to George first but think not. I was not aware of the damage to Jons plane. I'm including...

Gary, we change fuel flow transducers on a regular bases on the Cirrus we work on. I've changed it twice on the same 182. I'd put it someplace you didn't have to remove the floor like in your photo or work through a hole. A replacement of the transducer there could bump the job of removing/installin...

Just came across this Youtube video showing how to get a Lionel horn to work. The 170 stall warning horn is exactly the same though slightly smaller. I haven't found a Lionel horn that would fit in a stall warning inclosure.

Firstly, I believe Bruce simply made a typographical error when he posted “too small to fit” in the bakelite case….. The two horns (of course) DO FIT inside the case. What I said, but not very clearly, was the same style horn is used in Lionel diesel train engines. But the Lionel horns are too big ...

Guys, skifast13 is talking about the cap found in the bakelite warning horn/lite. See Georges photo.
Only Gary will be able to find a schematic for inside the warning horn.

IMAG0674.jpg Above is a photo GAHORN posted of two horns, one I think original and the other who knows. These horns, not small enough to fit the bakelite housing, were also used in Lionel diesel train engines. (Said clearer I hope, the same style horn is used in Lionel diesel train engines, but the...

I've spent some quality web searching time looking for the answer to the question, what and I missing here. What is missing in general is besides the CARs and FARs, the specific aircraft and model AFM, POH or TCDS may specify a placard at the fuel filler opening. Apparently Mooneys are a good exampl...
