      All-
      
      We had a bad wind storm here in Delaware a few months back and the top skin of
      my left elevator was slightly damaged near the outer leading edge.   I've searched
      around for a skin and/or replacement elevator, but little luck - only skin
      I could find was rediculously priced.  Complete new/salvage elevator was cheaper!
      
      PN for skin is:  5440000-216
      PN for elevator assembly is:  5440000-401
      
      Damage is minor - does FAA allow repairs to control surfaces these days, or do
      I need to replace?
      
      Is this top skin a standard aircraft section?  Looks like the control surface material
      on Cessnas.  If so, my A&P should be able to buy a stock sheet and replace?
      
      Any other ideas?
      
      Thanks,
      Matt

Lloyd, You are right about the amount of work involved, I have actually made my own press dies (one rib at a time) to duplicate the proper profile, it's a slow old job ---- but---- using a steel male die, and an "oil filled nylon" female, I can get a very good profile, with no marks at all on the surface of the skin.

Hello everyone=2C long time without posting on my behalf. I just missed the opportunity to buy a door handle on E-bay. I would really like to acquire one with working key since I missed my keys and there is no way to lock my airplane. Does anybody have an idea how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Octavio, I don't really want to broadcast this to a wide audience, but most Commander owners already know this:=C2- Unless the lock has been changed previously , any Commander or AeroStar key will work on any of the original locks. If you're uncomfortable with that, do not buy another Aero Commander or Aero Star door handle.=C2- Have a lock smith re-key your existing handle.

It is my understanding that all Commanders use the same key. I was told it was an old Chrysler blank, but I have had some made. If you cannot find one, let me know and I will try and get a copy of the key made for you.

Good Evening Robert, I don't know much about Aero Commanders, but in the days of the Douglas DC-3, all of the UAL ones used the same key. It was called the 100 key. I was told that every DC-3 built had the same key, but that may not have been tru e. I do know that all of ours used that one key. That key also unlocked almost any door on any building that UAL wanted locked including the door on the Stewardess "doghouse". And don't ask me how I know it worked!

Robert; That is what I have been told and also what Commander Gordon says. Have a friend that has a Widgeon and he had Aero Star door handles put on it and my key worked great, in fact as I recall, he confiscated mine! If Octavio needs one, that might be good, as I would have to go out and get a copy made. But it is interesting, the locksmith told me it was an OLD Chrysler blank, course it could have been used for both Chrysler and Studabaker, or he could have been confused!

Thank you very much guys maybe I will have to bother one of you with a copy of that key. Sometimes in Mexico is difficult to find anything. I visited a locksmith already and he told me that he was unable to re-key the handle =2C that he couldn't find a key that fit. That surprised me because he is a n experienced man that has been in the business for decades=3B we used to f ly RC together. I will tell him about the chrysler and the stud and see if he can do something. As always you have been very helpful. Thank you very much.

Ted Smith must have liked Chrysler, the paint colors on the original logo were Chrysler or Plymouth that is if my memory is right. Jim Add _____ From: owner-commander-list-server(at)matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Of Octavio viveros sandoval Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 10:19 AM Subject: Commander-List: RE: Commander-List Digest: 9 Msgs - 08/06/08 Thank you very much guys maybe I will have to bother one of you with a copy of that key. Sometimes in Mexico is difficult to find anything. I visited a locksmith already and he told me that he was unable to re-key the handle, that he couldn't find a key that fit. That surprised me because he is an experienced man that has been in the business for decades; we used to fly RC together. I will tell him about the chrysler and the stud and see if he can do something. As always you have been very helpful. Thank you very much.

My 560 has a similar problem - on the 560 gear the micro switch is triggered by the down lock plunger gets gummed up with hydraulic fluid. It eventually makes contact but on a delayed basis. All I've done is clean it (replaced the metal diving board that activates the micro-switch once) and it works just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Feldtman To: commander-list(at)matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:30 AM Subject: Re: Commander-List: Another one bites the dust dirty micro switch till proven otherwise - are your bungee cords fresh? bobf On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 9:26 AM, Tommy Mathieu wrote: Gentlemen: I am having a problem with a right main gear landing light.

Chris, John Towner also recommended Divco. I'll check them out. The case is probably repairable; it's just that we have to split it, which means new bearings, and then why not top it.....but then why not just do a complete overhaul? And if I'm going to pay for that and my other engine is past TBO, why not get the wide decks? I didn't do the dynamic prop balancing. I sort of imagine that case cracks are due to the crank....if it doesn't crack, your crank is good. If it does crack, your crank isn't as well balanced as it could be. My other engine has >1,600 SMOH and runs like a swiss watch. I just have a good engine on that side. This engine has ~800 hours and has been responsible for 70% of my engine difficulties in the near decade I've owned my airplane. /J Chris wrote: > > John Vormbaum wrote: >> >> Hey, maybe this is my opportunity to step up to wide-deck engines. > > Sorry to hear about your trauma John.

I think we'd second or third Divco.

Guess I'm geeky enough to be real interested in a teardown report on both your good and bad mill.

Any turkey with a toolbox and a manual can bolt one together that will run, but a craftsman can build an engine that will run to TBO and beyond without needing to be touched. When you have your engines done, go with a quality builder and I'd strongly suggest factory new cylinders. Factory Lyc jugs are good for a trouble-free TBO run. By the time they've accumulated 2000hrs, they almost all have significant metal fatigue and a good inspection will usually find small cracks beginning to form. Sure, they can be welded up and re-worked, but it's unlikely that you'll have another reliable run to TBO. Out of my 12 cylinders with 2000 hrs since new, we found cracks in 10 of them at teardown. I'll let someone else re-use them then have to top one or two every few hundred hours. Spend a few minutes looking at trade-a-plane to prove my point. You'll find tons of 800 SMOH, 200 STOP engines out there. ya tend to get what you pay for..... chris or....

John, I If you have not gone through an engine shop you should see one. Victor Engines right on the Palo Alto shop is a very high end engine shop. Get them to give you a tour. It is an experience. They do not have a tolerance on weight of parts. They will go thought a bunch of pistons to match 6 just alike. Same goes for piston rods, and other things. I went through their shop over 10 years ago. I understand Lyc has roller cam lifters now.

Tylor, I'll have to check Victor out. I've walked past their shop about 700 times in the last decade, but have never stopped in. I did detour over there once to look at the Hoover Hornet, which was parked in front of the shop for engine work. Got a good closeup look at that well used yoke & throttle quadrant. "Yeah, I touched Hoover's airplane." Roller motors for my airplane sound like a sweet idea. If they work anywhere near as well as the '60s-era Mustangs me & my friends built back in the 80's (think roller 351, 390 and 428) it should work pretty well, and be the envy of all my friends.... /J Tylor Hall wrote: > > > John, I > If you have not gone through an engine shop you should see one. > > Victor Engines right on the Palo Alto shop is a very high end engine > shop.

Tylor, How can they not have a tolerance on weight or parts? There is always a tolerance on balance jobs, just as there must be a tolerance on all machined objects. Do you remember what there tolerance is? As I remember Victor consulted with the late Keith Black of Keith Black Racing Engines back in the 80's when balancing became an issue for them (Victor). At that time Keith was using Gary Thompson of Automotive Balance Service for his balancing and their standard tolerance was plus or minus one gram. Also, while I heartily concur that it is generally a good idea to replace the cylinders with Lycoming new, this certainly does not guarantee a trouble free engine. I have had the top portion of three exhaust valve guides fail (they brake into many small pieces and you find them in the oil screen, the valve cover and the oil filter) for no apparent reason when they had between 400 and 600 hours on them in my IGSO540B1A engines.

Hi Guys, "We" have a new owner for a 500B in Arkansas and a 680FL in California. I can supply a name and address if anybody is willing to see if they can trace a 'phone number for either of these. Being a new owner of a Commander, they could well be interested in joining the Flight Group and possibly in attending the Fly-In. The 680FL owner used to own a 500B about 19 years ago!

Folks, This clip has recently generated a lot of comment. The video was taken from the tower in Canberra, the Australian capital; it was on charter to an Australian operator, doing military lift for the Australian Department of Defence. The performance displayed is typical of first generation jets, I can well remember getting airborne in a B707-320, and not hearing the click of the gear lever unlock solenoid (meaning the main gear squat switches had just released after the weight had come off the gear) until the "piano keys" had passed my peripheral vision.

Don, Throughout the old British Commonwealth (sounds better than Empire, doesn't it) we had few runways longer than 8500', many only 7900/8100 --- the standard RAF/RAAF runway, in the late 50's-early 70's. Only when we got to US did we have decent runway lengths. If my memory serves me correctly, even the original runways at London/Heathrow EGLL, were less than 9000'. Hickham/Honolulu was paradise with about 13,000 ft. Three places on Australia where 1 degree or 1 knot of headwind was critical in a B707, Brisbane, Perth or Cairns. Even in Sydney, the "long" runway in 1966 was only 8900, it is now shorter, due ICAO RESA requirements. A place like RAF Muharraq, better known now as Bahrain, with a temp. of 45 degree and 8500', got very interesting. Until all the runways were extended for the B747, we has few operations that were 2nd segment limited, rather than runway accelerate/stop limited. In those days, FAJS, Johannesburg was our only exception, at 8000', the JT3D-3B was a large hair dryer, only the SAA JT3D-7 gave a half way decent range/payload at those elevations. Re."Much less than---", the IL-76 was operating out of Canberra quite normally, it's just that the tower crew were quite unfamiliar with the expected performance, they were used to seeing only modern short range aircraft, and the occasional RAAF B707-320 (most were ex-QANTAS). A company operated by a good mate of mine was the local operator of the IL-76, so I know quite a bit about the detail.

Hi Octavio, I have an old listing of STC's and this shows two numbers seem to be applicable to the Model 500U for a "Cleveland brake conversion kit". SA303GL is for kit number 199-74, covering Models 500, 500A, 500B, 500S, 500U, 560A and 560E. SA706GL is for kit number 199-122, covering Models 500, 500A, 500B, 500S & 500U. A little more detail on these STC numbers can be found at: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgSTC.nsf/MainF rame?OpenFrameSet and then search on the STC numbers. Of course, it may be better to wait for an answer from somebody who has accomplished the change on their 500U!

Hi Tom, I'm Barry Collman, an aviation historian, specialising in the Twin Commanders. Currently, my database comprises some 92,900 records. My records have mostly been gleaned from the FAA and Factory files. 680FL-1355-34 was first Certificated as N6335U on 25th October 1963. It was bought by Distributor, Executive Aircraft Corp., of Indianapolis, Indiana, on 5th November 1963 and they sold it to Northside Chevrolet Inc., also of Indianapolis, Indiana. That Bill of Sale was not dated though, but both Bills of Sale were Registered on 9th July 1964. However, before that, Northside Chevrolet had requested a new 'N' number and N8885D was Assigned on 19th June 1964 and the change was also registered at the same time as the two Bills of Sale, on 9th July. After a sale to Broad Ripple Investments Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana on 10th October 1966, they then sold it to Norronafly A/S., of Oslo-Fornebu, Norway on 31st January 1972 and Registration N8885D was cancelled on 6th March 1972. I have the date of Registration to Fjellanger-Wideroe A/S as 21st January 1983. I'm going to send you an Excel .xls spreadsheet, giving the complete history as I know it.

From: "Bichier, Peter" <pbichie(at)UTNet.UToledo.Edu>
Hello all, I am also new to the group and asking a lot on my 1st post! my love for Commanders started when my father replaced his Turbo Apache for a 560 in the 70s in Venezuela. He had a ranch in the Amazon and would fly there for long vacations. He also used it for charters all over the country & Caribbeans, but specially south of the Orinoco on dirt strips. He claimed that wherever you could put a C206, his YV-ABE (later YV-515P) would make it too. now I'm in Toledo, OH. I'm a avian biologist that mostly work in the tropics; I guess those great youth times have not quite dissipated! I came across your GREAT TCFG web page and also found this space. I am glad to see that those planes are still flying and wish my father had access to such a great maintenance/flight exchange. (Although this year has been tragic as well...) It would be a great experience and kind of a dream come true to attend the Fly In, specially at this historical reasons and place! On that note, how can I join the TCFG and get the newsletter? (specially the latest issue!) (I sent a couple of emails to the group) I have noticed that some of you are based in Ohio or Michigan area. If by any chance there would be one of those rare birds flying by (or taking off) on their way to WPA and willing to pick up a light (150lbs) passenger to help with costs... I'll be willing to drive at least 200mls or more! (Indiana or illinois too!) at least it will be a joy to hear and read your life with the planes of my dreams! truly yours, Peter Bichier cell 734-355-4820 Department of Environmental Sciences University of Toledo, OH 43606 (419) 530-4576 -----Original Message----- From: Bichier, Peter Sent: Thu 8/21/2008 4:58 PM Subject: interested in Membership From: Bichier, Peter Sent: Mon 8/18/2008 7:37 PM Subject: interested in Membership Dear Jim Metzger and the Twin Commander Flight Group, First let me thank you all for such a GREAT site! My father had a 560 and I use to fly on it as a kid... my dream always has been to own one, but it won't happen in this lifetime... however your site has brought up my enthusiasm about those great tough old birds and in a way made me dream again! so here are my questions: 1. how much is your membership and how can I find the application form? 2. can I join even if I am not a pilot? 3. I am studying the possibility to go to your annual Fly in, is that possible for a person in my case? thank you again for opening a web site on such a great airplane and hope to hear from you soon, sincerely, Peter Bichier Department of Environmental Sciences University of Toledo, OH 43606 (419) 530-4576 ________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Peter, Yes, I'll most certainly be in Oklahoma City. I haven't yet missed a TCFG Fly-In since they started in June 1995 and don't intend to for a good while yet! I will send you the history of your father's 560, which was serial number 211. I knew it returned to the USA as N5462Z in 1984, but didn't know it was impounded in 1982 or 1983. Mind you, although there was a Bill of Sale as YV-515P to Page Avjet Corp., in Miami, Florida on March 15th 1984, the Venezuelan registration wasn't cancelled until August 9th that year and it wasn't registered as N5462Z until November 16th 1984. Hopefully, you can help further with that 'oddity' regarding the dates and provide some background information. N5462Z was later seized by the Metro-Dade Police Department on April 12th 1985 though, with a Court "Final Judgement of Default" issued in their favour on September 9th 1985. I'll send you the history of s/n 211 in the form of an Excel .xls file tomorrow.

Hi Guys, Just a word of "warning". I've just received my copy of "Flight Levels", the Summer 2008, Volume 13 No.3 and one of the first things I've looked for in recent issues has been the piece on Commander history. Quite some while ago, I was asked if I'd help with this planned series of short articles and, of course, I agreed. In return, I was to be sent a CD-ROM with a good number of photos, presumably taken by Bill Thompson. The CD-ROM never arrived and I've never been asked for help. A couple of subsequent emails to the guy editing this section have gone totally unanswered. In the absence of any definite reason, I can only assume that Bill Thompson, the supplier of the photos, has placed an embargo on me getting a copy of the disk and is relying on his "knowledge" to tell you all about Commander history. Why? Goodness knows. However, although his photos are of real quality, I regret I cannot say the same about his knowledge of Commander history. Frankly, I'm not impressed. Was the prototype really called the "IL-3805"? I think not. Was the first Model 520 Certificated some 8 months before it was completed? I think not. Although the GO-435-C2B was used, it was not until later in production. First examples had the GO-435-C2. The 520 isn't "distinguished by its large curved engine nacelles ... and exhaust augmenters", but by its fin not being swept. What a pity that such a historical photo, the 520 taking off on its first flight, is sized just a tad bigger than a postage stamp. Might be best to cut this section out before these errors are treated as gospel ;-) Best Regards, Barry ________________________________________________________________________________

Why? Goodness knows. Sir Barry, I presume you're asking a rhetorical question, or, you're using your refined British understatement for diplomatic effect. The reason they did not ask your help is horribly obvious ... as it the result of TCAC's policy of ignoring any resource outside of their kingdom walls.

Hi Andrew, I really don't want to put you to too much trouble here, but I think "203" is the Production Certificate number. The number I'm after is the 6-digit one at the very bottom of the plate. If the surrounding examples I've recorded already are anything to go by, the first three digits could well be "270". However, that is by no means certain!

True, but Sir Barry Collman has probably already done the complete historical research on your desired serial number.? That's what he does.? Currently, he's in the U.S., visiting from England, attending the Twin Commander Fly-In.

An aerodynamic question. As I push the speed over 180MPH to 200 - 250MPH, I need to start cranking in right rudder to keep trimmed. I cannot see any asymmetrical issues with the rudder itself.

Tom, Since the models 680 and below do not have aileron trim, both roll and yaw trim is done via rudder.? I'd check the fixed trim tab on the aileron first (making a tiny correction since you only notice what I think is left roll at high speed).?? Aileron rigging would then be the next and more difficult thing to do. If that doesn't work I can claim that I'm up too early and should not be trying to answer aerodynamics questions instead of checking weather and flight planning -- which I must do right now.? Best, Wing Commander Gordon Life is not simple anywhere. Probably less so elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Fisher <tfisher(at)commandergroup.bc.ca> Sent: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 9:11 pm Subject: Commander-List: Aerodynamics An aerodynamic question.

Dear Commander Folks: As always the event was most enjoyable. Also, as could be expected my Commander got me home safe and sound. While speaking to Jack Chappell's daughter, I failed to get her contact information. Could anyone please help me in this regard. A special big thanks to JB for presenting me with the Golden Pedal Award. As I was driving back from N19 to my house I saw my neighbor out in his yard. You can't believe how impressed he, his wife, and two daughters were when I explained to them that in order to get the award that: A. I had to have the best paint job and ramp appearance of any Commander there B. That I won the 20 mile pylon race C. I won the Commander knowledge contest D. Ditto the ground handling contest E. Ditto the beer drinking contest at The Wormy Dog Our fearless leaders presentation of this award to me has elevated my standing in our new community an almost immeasurable amount. Later today, my neighbors wife is calling The Farmington Daily News to insist that they do a human interest article on me including a photo of me and the Golden Pedal. Again, thanks!

I sure had a good time as always. I did learn that you really have to watch your six O'clock though. People will steal your chicken and well it can end up a smelly situation, and they will put chocks in front of your wheels when your back is turned after your preflight. The guys from down under and up north do things in Hooters you can't believe but I love you all to death anyway and hope everyone made and make it home safe. Jim Addington
