From: "jbrinkmeyer" A high temp red silicone grommet is used around the fuel hose that traverses through the intercylinder cooling baffle between the upper fuel injection spider and the lower servo body. My engine started out life as an O-540, so I get to drill a baffle hole and somehow obtain the proper grommet. Checking the list of usual suspects (Spruce, Wicks, google, etc) wasn't very fruitful. Searching the Lyco parts manual didn't turn up a part number either (unless I missed it). Does anyone know where high temp grommets can be found? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I don't have 6 cyl parts manual, but for the 4 cyl engines it is an AN931-12S17 grommet. Suspect the 6 cyl injected engines use same grommet. MS35489 is the correct replacement number. Genuine Hardware lists them in their catalog. You will need to know inside diameter needed and groove width needed.

With a strait edge, I can see the door is bowed out about 1/8 inch. To make matters worst, the QB fuselage has about a 1/16 inch bow IN the same area (center, top edge of door). The fuselage may push out some when the top is attached, but the bow in the door will still be un-acceptable. The bow probably came about due to the dimpling process, but I didn't notice until fitting. Can I tweak the door to try to straiten it, or do I need to build a new one, this time with some precautions to prevent it from warping? Obviously I may as well try to fix the door. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you straiten the door? I'm thinking about ripping a 2x4 on the bandsaw,with a reverse curve to it, thus creating a male /female template, then squeezing the top of the door between the pieces. Anyone else have any experience with this, or any ideas?

From: "Jim" Rob, Is the plan: (1) Swap out entire 3400 / 3500 unit (Receive a different serial numbered system) (2) Remove unit from airplane and send to you for upgrade (we keep same serial number unit but have some down time) (3) You send new CPU board to us and we do the swap (Not likely)? (4) something I have not listed? As a 3500 owner, I am very curious. I won't ask about pricing. That can wait till you are ready. So far, I am a very pleased customer. Jim C (40192, N312F) Finally got the weight an balance stuff straightened out (added 25 lbs at the horizontal Stab spar in the tail cone and reweighed with two sets of scales). Verified ALL the numbers and finally got the CG where I wanted it (and where it should be).
