Hey Team:
I work with all sorts of GPS & GSM Antennas. At time we up-grade or
decommissioned GPS units we have in the field. Some of these antennas are
in LIKE NEW condition others only require a bit of Soap & Water, maybe
Mineral Spirits to clean them up into very acceptable condition.
SOooooo, here is the deal:
For about $8 to $12 dollars ea. I will ship one of these antennas to you.
This includes Shipping. That is why I say $8 to $12 ... I do not know what
shipping will be.
What do they look like?
The size ranges from about 2" x 2" Square or 5" in Diameter, or 5" x 6"
Rectangle.
All have an ACTIVE GAIN amplifier of 20 to 25 dB.
Some were made by or for Trimble.
The have a RG-174 Coax and different types of connectors ... SMA, MUX and
such.
SOME have GSM Antennas built in also. What is GSM? CELL PHONE Antennas
with GAIN.
I will send pictures once I take them.
So, if you are interested and want a BETTER antenna for your Hand Held, or
want to leave one in the plane permanently, or want to Experiment? let me
know.
I made this offer to the GG but it never got posted. If you have friends on
the GG let them know.
Any questions? Contact me.

Is there a CFI who is grumman savvy and lives in the Louisiana/ East
Texas area? I have recently purchased a Cheetah and would like to
fly with someone with experience in the aircraft to show me the in's &
out's of my grumman.
The PFP program is broke, or at least for me it is. I have tried
for over six months to get a name of an instructor. The other list
never posted my request. Could anyone give a recommendation of an
instructor? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruce,
Funny you should ask that.
A couple of years ago I got a 75 Tiger that needed an annual. It's a pret
ty TIger. Interior is largely original. Nice paint. The owner told me
that after his prop strike the previous year, he had the bottom of the en
gine rebuilt. He told me that the Top overhaul was done the previous year
. I asked how he got the prop strike.
"Well, it's my fault really. I was landing at Sutter County airport and
I was a little fast. I slammed on the brakes and tried to stop. I blew
out both tires and skidded until I over ran the runway and ended up in a
ditch about 50 yds past the end of the runway." He continued, "The insur
ance company wanted to total the plane. I'd only had it for six months.
It's my first plane. So, I told them I wanted it rebuilt."
And he did. With the insurance money, he got the plane painted, added the
LoPresti nose bowl, Lopresti landing light, donkey dick Power Flow, and
a Sensenich prop.
Then, he told me the story of buying the plane from New Zealand, having it
shipped to the U.S. and having it reassembled here.
As I looked around the plane, I noticed that nearly every panel had rivets
in them. The cylinder bases were all rusty. There was a big fuel stain
on the bottom of the right wing. The forward inboard access cover on the
left wing was leaking. Someone had installed the LoPresti landing light
and made clearance behind it by cutting a 4" diameter hole in the baffle.
The upper cowling was debonding. In place of a breather tube, there was
a 3/4" hose from the engine sticking out the bottom of the cowling. It
did, however, have a notch cut in it to imitate the breather tube. The
instrument panel had been cut all the way through the bottom of the avion
ics stack so a Garmin 196 could be installed there. "It came from New Zea
land that way." There is really too much to tell here in one sitting.
I asked about the leaky right wing. He said, and I quote, "I've spent $10
,000 over the last 4 years trying to fix this the leak. Leave it. No use
throwing good money after bad." This annual, he asked me to reseal the
leaky access cover. While tearing the access cover away from the high ad
hesion fuel tank sealant, it became clear that the access cover was leakin
g because the retaining ring was debonding. I was able to lift the ring
up high enough to force sealant under the ring and then rivet the ring in
place. We'll see. The inboard wing tank section on the left wing has ha
d a scabbed in patch on the inner section (between the first two ribs) Th
e tank is leaking at the seam. Both wings need to be reskinned.
Bottom line is, this guy is a Doctor, has a Columbia 350 to fly, and isn't
all that interested in flying the Tiger. He was trying to sell the plane
for a while. Asking $50,000. I told him that realistically, this 1500
TTSN airplane was worth about $25,000.
If you know of anyone who wants a Tiger project, let me know.
Gary

Thanks Barry. You just never know. A few years ago, a guy came in my sho
p looking for a GPS antenna for his SL-60. Not sure what he did.

Gary,
The last part says it all. .."spent $10,000 over the last 4 years trying to fix
this the leak. Leave it." This plane is a disaster waiting to occur. I wonder
what kind of maintenance he has done on his Columbia?

| Subject: | 1975 AA1B damage |
We had a little wind storm last night, and the airplane next to mine
got away. It totaled the plane behind me, but only did some (hopefully)
minor damage to my plane (1975 AA1B).
The left elevator plastic tip has a crack and small piece taken out of
the aft, left edge.
The trim tab on the rudder was hit and bent over, and a couple of
shallow dents are in the right side of the rudder.
The tail tie down ring is bent as well as some of the area around it.
The right wing tie down ring is slightly bent.
I have pictures on my website at
<http://deej.net/yankee/damage/>
At a minimum I'll have to replace the left elevator tip and the trim
tab on the rudder. I may possibly have to replace the rudder and parts
near the tail tie down area. We haven't opened it up yet to get a good
look inside.
Would any of you be willing to share your expertise on what other
possible damage that we should be looking for?
Thanks,
-Dj
