Did you try to find the door? Where are you located? The glass should still be available from Aircraft Windshield. All you really need is an inner door skin which can be laid up and released from an existing door. The linkage and outer skin can be made from scratch.

The repaired area will even be stronger than the rest of the door. Do you have the Hendricks latching mechanism? I had a door open in flight on me on two different occasions and the Hendricks latch system with some minor modifications eliminated the problem completely.

If you would like to bring it by the embassy suites hotel downtown around noon tommorrow I would be happy to look at it. Since you have the door it is repairable. Otherwise just post pictures.

Tim Yoder" Subject: Re: KIS-List: The Propeller Other than I broke it, it was low on static RPM, 2000. Max power at 3000' was 2800RPM so cruise was good but I would like better T/O performance. I was wondering if someone had a design that doesn't have such a wide spread. Is 800 static to max RPM seems like allot. A friend has a TR-1 with a LYC 0-320 and his is more like 2350 static and 2700 max. I forget the manufacture, it is 65" long I believe.

The tip is swept so the blades twist to a somewhat finer pitch on takeoff. My prince prop is 68x80 and it turns 2700 rpm at 200 mph level on my taildragger TR-1 with RV-8 wheelpants and gear leg fairings on mains and tailwheel fairings which matches well to the website calculator. What top speed did you get out of your old prop? The Elippse propeller design is also worth concidering. The prince guy makes the elippse props but someone else designs them. The prince guy is pretty responsive to emails. Scott On Sep 20, 2012, at 8:41 PM, "F. Tim Yoder" wrote: > > Other than I broke it, it was low on static RPM, 2000.
