| Subject: | Working TruTrak round head Sorcerer AP |
Guys: Since TruTrak sold out to Bendix King last August an Bendix Kink
is not supporting the Sorcerer any more, I am in desperate need of a
working round Sorcerer Head and Trim Module. Would you know where I
might find one? Thanks for any help you might offer. Doc RV 10 # 41862

I will have a Gimia head in a few days after I install my Dynon servos. Not Sorcerer
but works almost the same.

Guys: I said I am looking for a "round" Sorcer head. They actually
have an octagonal panel mount. They are referred to "round" (square) or
"flat" (rectangle) units. Thanks for any help in finding one.

Martin,
I had the FBO bring over its dye penetrant kit today to check that
area, just in case you were right. Turns out it really just was
grease residue like I thought. I washed everything down
and when the residue dried it left a fine-line jagged greasy
trail that from a distance in the photos you could mistake
for a crack. But in the end , there's nothing there but nice paint.
Those cases are sand cast which gave it the necessary
roughness for the oily residue to take that shape.
