Hi all,
I'm working on assembling my engine baffles using Van's stock baffle kit
on a stock IO-540. The space behind number 6 cylinder is so small I'm
wondering how to get this left aft baffle section set into the area
around the left upper engine mount while at the same time tucking it
behind the number 6 cylinder. Anyone else have this problem? In search
of an idea...

IIRC, you have to do a little bot of bending/distorting of the piece to
get it in there and then it fits nicely. It's quite tight getting it in,
but once it's in there isn't any strain on it.

It's awkward at best. A combination on twisting and pushing will get it on.
While I can't remember the exact procedure, once you figure it out it beco
mes more predictable and repeatable. I remember being simililar level of fr
ustration

Dear Aviator
=C2-
=C2-
In 2007 Aerosonic purchased the Op Tech display product line with the inten
tion of completing any further development that may have been required to o
btain FAA certification. Our business plan at that time reflected a market
need for an affordable, highly capable alternative to existing display syst
ems aimed at the general aviation market. In the years since that transacti
on much has happened both in our industry and within our company. Shortly a
fter the transaction we suffered a devastating fire that destroyed a large
part of our facility and impacted our ability to produce nearly every produ
ct that we supply to our many valued civil and military customers. After se
veral years of hard work we have now recovered from that tragedy however mu
ch has changed.
=C2-
The market for general aviation and business aircraft remains depressed and
recovery still appears to be several years in the future. The Flight Displ
ay competitive landscape has grown from a few manufactures to many with new
advanced technologies, improved capabilities and enhanced features.
=C2-
For these reasons we have made a business decision to discontinue further d
evelopment and certification efforts on the Op Tech Flight Display product.
Our intention going forward is to focus on our core products.=C2- We are
actively looking for a buyer for the Op Tech product line whose current bu
siness model would be enhanced by the addition of this product.
=C2-
Support for current owners of these display systems is available through Av
iation Instrument Technologies Inc (AITI).in Zephyrhills Fl. 39520 Aviation
Ave., Zephyrhills, FL 33542.=C2-=C2- Phone: 813.783.3361 www.aircrafti
nstruments.com . AITI has inventory, test equipment and associated document
ation to service these systems and has been trained to provide immediate su
pport.=C2- In the future please direct any units that require repair to A
ITI. All products that are currently at our facility for repair or update w
ill be completed by us and returned within the next 3 to 4 weeks. Should yo
u have any questions please contact me at 727-461-3000 ext 133.

Giving due consideration to the desirability of keeping the gutter,
one has to consider the other weather striping options. The stock Vans
stuff doesn't look all that hot. Other suggestions?

make what may seem to be a harmless improvement to the design.
