Mi lls Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2010 1:05 AM Subject: Re: Commander-List: FLY-IN J B and Group, Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the fly in this year. Many of you may agree that things have gone terribly wrong in our country in the last 18 months. After a lot of thought I felt that it was time for me to do more than just 'give my support' to someone who will help change the way things are going in our country. Tom Mullins (_www.mullinsforcongress.co m_ (http://www.mullinsforcongress.com/) ), a very conservative and Christian gentlemen from here in Farmington, NM is running for the US House of Representatives, and I am working full time (his only full time volunteer ) in the campaign. I feel a deep sense of dedication to what I am doing. Our opponent votes with Nancy Pelosi 98.5% of the time, receives heaps of Union and PACT (including AOPA PACT) money and will probably outspend us by over five to one. The latest Magellan poll shows 42% for Tom and 43% for the opposition. Tom won the Republican primary by 72% to 28% even though the other Republican spent over twice as much on his campaign. The third congressional district here in New Mexico is larger than the entire state of Pennsylvania, so the amount of travel is almost unbelieva ble. Last week I drove over 2,500 miles in my truck with Tom, and don't expect to be back home for a couple of weeks. Many of our days start at 5:00 AM and end after 10:00 PM. Due to the lay out of the district flying just don't work for us most of the time. Certainly, it would be great to fly up there and be with all of my old friends but there just will not be time.

I may have one. Bill Leff In a message dated 6/30/2010 8:04:06 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, dfalik@sbcglobal.net writes: Hi, I needed a pressure regulator for my 500S 3 years ago and the only on available was an overhauled one on a shelf in Indianna for $5000.00 PLUS a $3000.00 core charge if mine was rebuildable. Apparently there is only one place that rebuilds them and there are some parts in there that are not available any more and have to be "machined". Luckily mine was rebuildable and I was able to recover my core charge. Good luck. I still have half of a rear door hinge that cost me $950.00. I was able to have the broken one welded but was unable to return the new 1/2 because 2 weeks had elapsed.

The pump pressure is about 3,000 psi and the aircraft system works around 1,000 psi. Had the pressure go to 2,000 psi recently and broke a line. Most recent runup was OK but I don't trust it now. Have had two complete hydraulic failures this year, don't want any more. Maintenance guys have found someone to overhaul, but it's around $5,500 (ripoff price) and 45-60 days. I can't believe a pressure reducer is that complicated an item.. Does anyone have a pressure reducer for sale...sorry I don't have a part number at the moment. Experienced Commander folks will probably know what I need, but I can get the part #.
