It sailed sort of like a trailer...

Hi Tom, Commander-Aero has complete O ring kits for most actuator rebuilds. I'd give them a call. 888-881-5580 Now, as to the nose and baggage fuel tanks ... Other than ferry tanks or field installed tanks for what we shall politely call special export/import flights, I've never heard of such a thing. Of course, this is why I hang around this list.

Mike Commander NW ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 12:58:09 PM PST US From: "Tom Fisher" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Part numbers --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" Thanks for all the response fellows, I will follow up on them and call those that suggested I call. I have a question for those of you that have a 680 FL(P) with the Cleveland brakes. In the wheel wells, someone has removed a section of oil breather pipe and replaced it with a flexable hose. I assume this was done because the Cleveland brakes have what I call wear indicators that stick out and currently partially compress the flexable hose. I assume that it restricts the flow a bit but not completely. The engineers working on the annual want to reroute the hoses but I feel that this might have been part of the STC for the brakes. Any comments? Is this standard on the other aircraft with this setup? Thanks again. Tom F.

This also eliminates the breather icing over, which IIRC happened to Larry Wokral recently, resulting in an engine shutdown... /John ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 12:56 PM > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" > > > Thanks for all the response fellows, I will follow up on them and call > those that suggested I call. > > I have a question for those of you that have a 680 FL(P) with the > Cleveland brakes. > In the wheel wells, someone has removed a section of oil breather pipe and > replaced it with a flexable hose. > I assume this was done because the Cleveland brakes have what I call wear > indicators that stick out and currently partially compress the flexable > hose.

Very effective, but the tops of your nacelles will always be oily.

On the subject of nacelles, has anyone laminated a (removable) thin stainless steel shield on the top of the nacelle just behind the exhaust outlets? Seems like an easy task and much easier to clean.

Then it is still certified known ice. Mike Commander NW
