    Hi Robert, I'm sure the guys on the list will help, but I've got a question about your 500B. FAA records show that while registered as N6397U, a Chamberlain 2001K-B nose radome was installed under STC SA265EA on April 1st 1965. This is what is affectionately known as the "Rhino nose". However, photographic evidence in October 1974 shows a Chamberlain 3066X radome. There are quite a number of others where the same thing was found and I'm really beginning to wonder if the wrong paperwork was sent out by Chamberlain! But, is there any anything in the logs that suggests the radome was changed during those 9 years? Certainly, I was unable to trace another Form 337 covering the change. Your help will, of course, be very much appreciated.

My partner and I would like to post our 500B for sale - Since this commander list seems well read - what site (barnstormers, ASO, T-A-P) etc would be the best place to post it? Its been in our "family" since I bought it about 1985 - he just made a trip with it to Kansas this weekend.... got trapped with the ice..... no boots or hot props.It's home in Texas agian tongiht. Anyway what do you guys think is the best bang for the buck to see if there is interest out there in a 1964 500B with almost 10K hrs, and recent panel upgrade and recent right engine IRAN? We're doing an annual in March or Apr.. I need to check the logs. bobf N500GW

    I do have ALL the logs since new and will look that up. Indeed it has the modified nose with a radar underneath it - green screen that still works just fine. Use it all the time I'll look in the logs and let you know. We removed all the jurassic radios out of it back in the radio rack area gained about 65 lbs usefull load! Has a GNC 400W WAAS enabled and now a new STEC autopilot coupled. really cool. That old B4 was junk. Aalso, while we left the steam guage, we installed a JPI that givess all the engine data on all the cylinders. that is nice too. bobf On 2/14/08, Barry Collman <barry.collman@air-britain.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi Robert, > > I'm sure the guys on the list will help, but I've got a question about > your 500B. > > FAA records show that while registered as N6397U, a Chamberlain 2001K-B > nose radome was installed under STC SA265EA on April 1st 1965. > This is what is affectionately known as the "Rhino nose". > However, photographic evidence in October 1974 shows a Chamberlain 3066X > radome. > > There are quite a number of others where the same thing was found and I'm > really beginning to wonder if the wrong paperwork was sent out by > Chamberlain! > But, is there any anything in the logs that suggests the radome was > changed during those 9 years? > Certainly, I was unable to trace another Form 337 covering the change. > > Your help will, of course, be very much appreciated. > > Best Regards, > Barry > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Robert Feldtman <bobf@feldtman.com> > *To:* commander-list@matronics.com > *Sent:* Thursday, February 14, 2008 3:26 AM > *Subject:* Commander-List: best place to post commander 500B? > > My partner and I would like to post our 500B for sale - Since this > commander list seems well read - what site (barnstormers, ASO, T-A-P) etc > would be the best place to post it?

Does anyone have one available at a reasonable price? It's about 3" in diameter, with a zeus fastner type post in the center which secures to the anti-siphon flap with a flat head screwdriver. The flat spring which keeps tension on the post is nearly worn out, and I have to be real careful in securing the cap. Thanks, Ray Mansfield 850-217-5185 Destin, FL
