    --> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com HI KIDS... TCFG member George Yundt made me aware of a new SB that will almost certainly become an AD. There have been two occurrences of separation of the rudder cap on the 685 - 1000 series airplanes. The recent in-flight breakup of the 690B may have been cased by this?? Most of the airplanes are equipped with a fiberglass cap, but later models have an aluminum assembly. Both are effected. TCAC has looked at several airplanes and found some pretty ugly stuff. Fiberglass repairs that were poorly done, welded aluminum parts etc. This part is not just a fairing, it is a structural part of the airplane and needs to be at it's original strength to be safe. For you older Commander owners, the reason you are not affected is that your rudder is "cut out" of the fin. The 685 and up airplanes have an aerodynamic balance tab that extends the rudder above the fin. This is the "rea deal" guys. I have empirical data regarding the failure of an aerodynamic balance tab on a spray plane, only 100mph. It very nearly killed me. At 250 - 325mph the loss of this part could be catastrophic. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND That anyone flying an effected airplane immediately comply with this S/B and don't kid yourself. If you even THINK it may have a problem, change it. If it looks perfect, you are good to go and continue the part in serevice. If you want more information you can call me or Geoffrey Pence at TCAC 360-43509797 jb

    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Chris Wall" <cwall@worldflight2000.com> Looking for a little help. I am looking for an old revision of Cleveland drawing 50-86 in reference to the installation of the dual caliper brakes. The current revision says to comply with service letter 137A to eliminate breather icing problems by putting the breather tube out the top of the airplane. Cleveland use to have a procedure for rerouting the breather tube to stick out the bottom of the nacelle. I am looking for any thoughts on this installation or an older revision than revision C of the drawing 50-86.

    --> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com HI KIDS. I have a Collins TDR-950 TSO Transponder with a T.C.I. encoder. They are wired together and still within their 24 month certification. "working when removed," looks really good. No warranty. I removed it a couple of days ago and installed a new 2 1/4" Becker unit This is the short unit that will fit under the throttle quadrant $650 for all. Thought I would offer it here first. jb
