Hartzell S-1-15 Prop Gov From: "woxofswa" This prop gov has an unusual history. It was purchased new and installed on an engine but never run. It was then removed to be used on an AOG rescue/ferry. It was flown for 1.5 hours on oil that was possibly contaminated. It was removed and sent to an authorized Hartzell shop where it was disassembled, cleaned (no contamination found), re-assembled with all new gaskets, O-rings, etc. It was then bench tested and calibrated for a wide body 540. Great chance to save hundreds on a quality "good as new" PG.

But, on that day, there seemed to be a strong glare in my office and I couldn't make out the numbers. I twisted the paper, moved it around in my field of vision... tried just one eye, then the other. 15 minutes later the work was done and whatever problem I was having with my vision seemed to have resolved itself. I went and got a big glass of water thinking that I might be dehydrated. The next day, I noticed a similar vision problem. It didn't last as long and I wasn't doing work that it interfered with... but it worried me a little. Later that afternoon I met with a customer in my office to discuss some new projects. He's a smart guy. He'd ask a question. I'd start in to the answer and before I could finish the sentence I could see that he was moving on to the next question... and I was having a progressively harder time actually finishing the sentences. Words were slightly out of order. I'd back up to get it right and the words kept coming out a little wrong. He didn't seem to notice. We finished our meeting and said our goodbyes. I immediately went to my office manager to tell her that something was wrong with me. She, with all the love and understanding of someone who has worked for me for almost 25 years said "well, don't tell me... tell you doctor... dork." So, the next morning I called my doctor on my way in to work. I pulled off to the side of the road as the nurse was getting the doctor to the phone. I explained to him what had happened the past couple of days. He said "I'd like you turn around and drive straight to the ER and get an MRI. This is the kind of stuff we don't mess with." So, that's what I did. By noon the MRI was complete and the results were back. I had two brain tumors. One rather small and one the size of a lemon. Something about the nature of the tumors indicated that they didn't start in the brain. So, a scan or two later it was determined that I have stage 4 lung cancer (never smoked). My GP came to the hospital and explained that this was the worst time of the week to discover something like this. We wanted to assemble the "A" team and the "A" team didn't work the weekends." So, I was released from the ER into the care of my wife with a few strong prescriptions and a few days to imagine all that might be before me. On Monday, as my GP was assembling his "A" team my parents were assembling theirs. Unbeknownst to me, good friends of theirs had just endowed the Chair of Oncology at The City of Hope. By Tuesday I was in the care of some of the very best doctors in the world. By the following Tuesday the large tumor was surgically removed and I was, somehow, still able to walk and talk... but not drive and certainly not fly. My prognosis, now, is "up in the air" so to speak. I've finished radiation therapy which finished off anything that might have remained of the large tumor and zapped the small one. I'm lucky, if you can call anything about this "lucky" to have certain biomarkers in my cancer that make it treatable with targeted therapy... which has the potential to make this a chronically managed disease as opposed to a death sentence. While targeted therapy drugs are a godsend... giving me a shot at watching my kids grow up... they are not allowed by the FAA. I'm going to have to sell my RV-10. That's where I need your advice and, perhaps a little help. N410CF has the following squawks. In my current condition I am unable to address most of them without help. That being said, what should I make sure is taken care of before putting the plane on the market? The plane is not painted It is out of annual (would love a checklist for the annual) POH is incomplete Wheel pants and fairings are fit and finished except for the upper intersection fairings The parking brake valve leaks The back up battery fuse has blown twice now The 1042G wire covers are not finish painted to match the interior Door locks are not installed AOA is not calibrated Needs a rudder trim tab An aileron trim tab wouldn't hurt 1 weeping rivet I'd like to thank you all for the camaraderie over the 11 plus years it took me to build it. It certainly would have been nice to be part of the flying community a bit longer but I don't regret a minute of the 4,874 hours I spent building it.

I can help with some of these items. Maybe I should fly out and see if we can get that list minimized. The parking brake leak I think was resolved by Matco in one of there kits, if so we should be able to fix that, the Annual and POH is easily available and we can make the proper "specific" updates to reflect your plane. Get well and when you're ready we'll take care of the squawk list. Piece of cake!

I'm proud to have been a small part of your build over the years. I'd be happy to help out. I'm off work every third week, so as soon as work and weather align, I'll fly down for a couple days. Godspeed my friend. I'll be in touch. --Dave On Wed, Feb 8, 2017 at 8:43 PM, Jeff Carpenter wrote: > > On November 30th I was entering the company IRA deposit... 5 pairs of > numbers... something that should take me a couple of minutes at most.
