It includes the Pipers, Cessna, Bonanzas and the Twin Commanders. Yes Chris, I can put one on a PA-23-160. We will be offering them in both Manual as well as automatic as we rework each. Starting with the Twin Commanders that Dick MacCoon has already reworked. On the Twins, we will change from push/pull cables to electric manual system using a rocker switch. I am looking for the right switch and where to put it.

RPM - FLP and FP models. Good points Keith. I had neglected the pressurization issue. (was always a problem in my Turbo Viking. Kept ripping the fabric so just had to get _tiny_ oxygen masks for the termites). I do know that at least one Commander had the automatic controllers. Used the exact same hardware that Bellanca (and probably many others) used. cheers, chris direct advertising on the Matronics Forums. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:59:54 AM PST US From: Chris Schuermann Subject: Re: Commander-List: RE: Hair Dryers of the RayJay kind --> Commander-List message posted by: Chris Schuermann Tylor wrote: > We can do the Pa-23-235 and 250.

And that's a task that just might be almost as much effort as the actual design, but I'm quite certain it could be done. The good thing is that the hard stuff (the turbo itself, wastegate, actuator, etc) is already approved. I don't know if there is a specific TSO that covers MAP controllers, but if there is (for existing hydro-mechanical devices), it should be easy to meet with a digital controller. If you could track down the specific FAA folks who have certified other controlers in the past, I'm sure they could provide guidance on what they want to see. Most likely, they'd be primarily interested in "failure modes". I assume that you already have a mechanical pop-off incorporated into the induction system, so there shouldn't be much to worry about.

The right engine has gone into the intensive care unit of the Zypher Engine shop. In about 4 more weeks It should be like new,,,,,I hope. I removed the Pesco Hydraulic pump because it STILL leaks. I contacted Aircraft Accessories of OK and explained that in August of last year I paid them $269.00 to fix a leak. In January I had to pay another $169.00 to get the same repair fixed, and now it was leaking again. David Dutton said he would warrantee it. At least this time they are doing the honorable thing. bilbo ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:16:20 PM PST US From: "Barry Collman" Subject: Re: Commander-List: ebay - Zippo lighter --> Commander-List message posted by: "Barry Collman" Hi Dan!

I just finished a minor OH on my nose strut. Just like John Bosch wrote in his article in the last FGN, it really needed it. I found a couple of cracked parts and of course the "O" rings were all shot. Took longer than I thought it would (doesn't it always) I didn't realize the down lock spring arm attached to the centering pin (centers the gear prior to retract). That added about 2 hours to the process. The good news is it is done. Now if it will just still be holding air in the morning!! hope all is well in "Commanderland" jb ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 09:13:25 PM PST US From: "Bruce Campbell" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Gear Retract Cylinder --> Commander-List message posted by: "Bruce Campbell" Dont forget Earle Aircraft...

Have got power on the old bird. After all the dissconnects only a couplr of things dont work.One of the classics was having to push the Rh start to turn the LH engine. The electrical fellow has about two days work left on it. I have fitted the center and RH fwd and aft tanks, the LH ones should be here in about a week. Absolute bastard of a job. I cleaned and reprimed the fuel bays and have fitted new tubes. Hopefully we will be able to fill the center tanks soon. In regard to the flyin ,are you going in 222? If so are you looking for a passenger or two. The reason being I would like to get a little engine handling experience from a master before I get too clever in mine. There seems to be a wealth of experience in OZ, unfortunately all opinions are different and based on experience a long time ago, nobody is current. Will speak to you soon. Regards, Richard
