All are for a '58 680. Capt. JimBob - How much is the No AD Prop change? Can we get away from the Bell crank AD? If so how much does it cost? For Harry and/or Morris and/or Tylor: We need a Tach Generator, and a Generator for the left engine. Also a DME Antenna. Our co-pilot Attitude Indicator is starting to act up. Does anyone have one of those? Having a prop AD that has to go to the factory, a bell crank AD and a wing spar AD all at once isn't all that much fun.:-) Thanks in advance everyone, Todd N6229B ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:52:20 AM PST US From: "Bill Bow" Subject: Re: Commander-List: panama jim --> Commander-List message posted by: "Bill Bow" > I want to come pick up my airplane tomorrow or Thu. latest.....maybe I can > have some lunch/coffee with you & Morris! > > /John I know Morris, you mean doughnuts. bilbo ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:31:38 AM PST US From: Frits Abbing Subject: Re: Commander-List: whereabouts --> Commander-List message posted by: Frits Abbing Hi Barry, You came up with 2,680FL for sale and I received also that message. Are you able to sort out which ones are here to be looked at? I am in contact with the guy. You need registration for that? Thanks, Frits Abbing http://taxes.yahoo.com/ ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:28:54 PM PST US From: "Todd Hindmarsh" Subject: RE: Commander-List: Tech: Annual Headache --> Commander-List message posted by: "Todd Hindmarsh" Thanks JB. What props specifically does the STC require? What "Bellcrank" AD?? 14 CFR Part 39 Aileron Bellcrank Casting AD 57-09-01 57-09-01 AERO COMMANDER: Applies to All Model 680 Aircraft. Compliance required not later than the next 3 hours of flight or May 15, 1957, whichever occurs first and at 100-hour intervals thereafter. As a result of finding cracks in the aileron bellcrank casting in the vicinity of the aileron push-pull rod attach bolt, the following action is considered necessary unless already accomplished. Inspect, using dye penetrant or fluorescent methods, all aileron bellcrank castings P/N 3510005 on bellcrank assembly P/N 4510004-401 and 402 for cracks in upper or lower lugs to which the aileron push-pull rod attaches. Remove rod to make the inspection, replace all castings found defective and reattach push-pull rod, making certain no clearance exists between casting lugs and rod-end bearing inner race before tightening bolt. Use shim washers to eliminate clearance. The 100-hour reinspection of casing P/N 3510005 may be discontinued upon installation of revised casting under development by Aero Design. (Aero Design Service Bulletin No. 41, dated April 19, 1957, provides a sketch of the part and defines the area to be inspected.) This AD covers the same inspection required by CAA telegraphic instructions dated April 25, 1957. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:39:49 PM PST US From: YOURTCFG@aol.com Subject: Re: Commander-List: Tech: Annual Headache --> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com In a message dated 2/26/2003 4:15:53 PM Pacific Standard Time, todd@inpnet.org writes: > 57-09-01 AERO COMMANDER: Applies to All Model 680 Aircraft. > > Compliance required not later than the next 3 hours of flight or May 15, > 1957, whichever occurs first and at 100-hour intervals thereafter. > > As a result of finding cracks in the aileron bellcrank casting in the > vicinity of the aileron push-pull rod attach bolt, the following action is > considered necessary unless already accomplished. > > Inspect, using dye penetrant or fluorescent methods, all aileron bellcrank > castings P/N 3510005 on bellcrank assembly P/N 4510004-401 and 402 for > cracks in upper or lower lugs to which the aileron push-pull rod attaches. > Remove rod to make the inspection, replace all castings found defective and > reattach push-pull rod, making certain no clearance exists between casting > lugs and rod-end bearing inner race before tightening bolt.

I suggest going to a salvage yard and buying a bellcrank, that will end the AD. Yours is the first and only airplane that I have heard of that has an old belcrank. jb
