Dear Wing Commander Gordon,
The Wilcox has been my second transponder for some time now, and yes, it does
change codes on accession by its self.

Moe,
If it needs a tube I have a small collection. Let me know the number and
I'll check.

Moe,
Toss the thing out. I have finally worked out that these old pieces of junk
are more trouble than they are worth. As avionics need continuois work done I
replace with new.
I have fitted Garmins GTX327 and GTX 320 to all my planes. They are not
expensive and so far I am impressed. ATC even talk to me now.
Regards
Richard

Hi All
I have one 0 time 680 prop. It is overhauled with full sized blades. Will
supply with all the documentation. It has a 250 hr hub.
I have a comlpete hub assy (500 hr), Clamps etc and one good blade.
Prop will be shipped stripped, as it is cheaper and safer.
I have gone to the Queen Air props, so have no need for the above.
Anyone interested give me a shout.
Regards
Richard

As a matter of interest, and to feed our need for information, why would one
switch to Queen Air props? If it's good, why wouldn't we all switch?

Allow me to answer that. It cost about 20K per propeller to get AD compliant
original 680 propellers. The "Queen Air" props have no AD and I am told
perform better than the originals. A pair of fresh overhauled QA props, with the
STC will cost about 12K total, not each, total. jb

HI KIDS.
After what seems a lifetime, triple 2 is flying again. I landed back
at the home drome, from Abbotsford Canada last night at about 6 pm. It is
running great. It now has a 102 hr, GSO480 on the left side. I also have a 525
hr engine in my shop awaiting installation. I plan to fly the right engine a
while before installing the new one. The next project will be the
installation of a pair of new oil tanks and then new brake discs & linings then
a new
Becker radio and intercom.
It is so good to have her back!!! jb

I had a Search & Rescue exercise in Abbotsford last Saturday and triple 2
did not look like it had moved from the previous month, you must do fast
work.
