It's like they fly-in out of a wormhole somewhere with no idea what it is refering to. My guess is it's being sent to the list inadvertantly by Gary.

I installed the short stack PowerFlow on Vi's plane. To close out the hole where the stock pipe fit through, I had Dave make tooling for the hole. It turned out to be a hell of a lot of work. First, he had to make a mold of the inside of my cowling, then shape it to the contour of the cowling, then, make a piece that fit over the outside, then, make and inside piece thta had the correct contour, then, make a male out of that, then make the female. When done, I'll have a plug to fill the hole in the cowling so everyone can install the new Short Stack PowerFlow and have something to fill the hole. Also, I'm making a fairing to go behind the short stack that should add up to 20 knots!.

Both are drilled. These yokes came off of a plane in exchange for a set of drilled yokes I had at the time. These yokes are nice except that at one time, they had a PTT installed on the hub. There are two tiny holes in the hub area that held a flat plate to which the PTT had been isntalled. With the padded cover in place, you cannot see the holes. I'll sell the set, drilled, and powder coated, for $100 plus shipping. Shipping is probably no more than $10.

That's not bad, but it probably isn't worth the effort for anything less than 30 knots. Whats the scoop on the hole plug availability and pricing? What does it fit? Keep us in the "loop".

Made a back plate form out of beer cans. Put plastic tape over it to act as a mold release and laid up some 3 layers of 9oz bi-directional cloth. Took about 3 hours time. But then I did build a composite plane once... Please put me down for 2 of the JATO equipped fairings.;-) I need that extra 20 knots!

But hell, anything to beat Kokaska's plane.... ================= Also, I'm making a fairing to go behind the short stack that should add up to 20 knots!.

The piece that I watched Dave making was 7 layers thick. Way overkill. Dave wanted to make a part that I/we could use to trial fit a few times. There is a good chance it will need to be custom fitted to Vi's plane. I'll know more once the part gets here. I'll keepp youall informed.

There was an AD issued recently on Pipers and the Piper owners bought up the stock on the ACS wheel and as I understand there is no new stock coming. In Addition, several Piper chat group members mentioned that their FSDO's would not approve the ACS wheel. Also, it is $197.50 for P/N 05-00965 While the ACS Bonanza Yoke is $585.5 inc install kit. That is each. You might want to give ACS a call to verify this before you loose out on Gary's offer... If someone here does not NEED Gary's yokes I may buy them just 'cause they are so cheap. I think The fellow in Washington charges $85 per yoke just to drill them for mic switches!
