Hangar Flying / micro switch for canopy warning system?
« on: May 31, 2005, 11:42:09 PM »
Dave,

i appreciate your comment on check lists.... the other day I took off without my electric fuel pump on...I'm probably the only one who has ever done this...

My post taxi check list..

C- controls free and correct
I - instruments set (attitude, dg, radios tuned, alt. set, oil pressure, charge check)
G - Quality checked, fuel selector valve correct, caps check, quantity check
A - Attitude set for take off
R - Run up ( mags at 1,800, Carb heat, Idle check)
S - seat belts canopy (push it up hard with my hand) airspace clear, passenger groovey,


Pre- take-off

Pump
Lights
Heat
squak
Clock
talk


Anybody have any pearls about check lists?

Dave

Ok... My warning system hasn't worked since I bought my Long
EZ many months ago cause the micro switch is broken.... Now I am at the point on the list that I am ready to fix it.... ( new top overhaul, new radio, new ILS, New intercom...new nose strut.... good thing I found all this stuff for free in a dumpster...would have been expensive otherwize)

I will look at the plans ...but wondering if anyone knows, off the top of the heads, were that switch can be bought and what it is?

Thank in advance..

... 2 hours of flight time on the new engine...working good.

Hope you are all getting a some good time in the air.

William, Chief A/C just told me that they can sell me the gears pt # 05k19423-s that will satisfy the AD for $229.00 . Is there any reason to purchase a new pump when I could replace the gears.... or asked another way... does anyone know how hard it is to replace the gears?


Thanks,

Dave

I have just been informed that my 0-235 is affected by an oil pump AD. My understanding is that there is an aluminum gear next to a metal gear in the oil pump that eventually gets worn and fails.

We are thinking that it might be easier to pull the engine (have it down for a top end at the moment) then work in the tight space between the engine and the firewall.

Can anyone relate your experience of the oil pump change?

Thanks,

Dave
