Hangar Flying / Re: Navaid autopilot
« on: February 13, 2009, 09:37:54 PM »
Navaid went out of business in April of 08.

You have several options. 1) buy a trio autopilot head. They are compatible with the navaid servo and will sell just the head. 2) find someone who bought a trio head and wants to sell their working navaid head. 3) fix you navaid head. Motor failure appears to be a common problem and the motor can be replaced by a capable person. I hate to send anyone over to the dark side, but the best place for info on this is on the forums section of vansairforce.com . Do a search for navaid and you will get a lot of info on this.

Revmaster Aviation makes a nifty conversion kit to change the magneto harness over to use regular automotive plugs. See: http://www.revmasteraviation.com/products/auto_spark_plug_conversion_assembly/index.htm

Hangar Flying / Quickie
« on: October 30, 2006, 12:51:31 PM »
There is a very active message board at Yahoo groups on the Quickie. See:

It is my impression that this is a airplane that is best to get some advice and help with before a first flight.

Hangar Flying / Need engine mount help. Dynafocal 2.
« on: October 18, 2006, 05:28:59 PM »
You could check with Chrissi at:
http://www.cozygirrrl.com/aircraftparts.htm
They have Cozy engine mounts for Dynafocal2  and might be convinced to do long-eze mounts. But they are pretty busy getting metal parts for the Cozy MK4 in stock.

Another try would be to buy a case that has a dynafocal I mounts. Buy a part catalog for the 320 series of engines and you can look up the cases that will work. Also ECI can convert a Type 2 to a Type 1 mount. Check:
http://www.eci2fly.com/pdf/svc_cca.pdf
It is on the second page of their sevices list. Also, Divco Inc does the mounting conversions, but it is not STCed. All of this would require tear down of the engine, but that would not be a bad thing either. You might have a rusty or worn cam, bad lifters or who knows what. Good time to find out.

OK, the heading for your post is for a O-290 D2, In the body of your post you discuss the GPU version, which  is not a D2.  The D2 is a certified engine, the GPU is not. Which one do you have??????

Hangar Flying / Nose Gear Ratchet kit
« on: July 19, 2006, 04:05:27 PM »
I bought the aforementioned nose gear ratchet kit earlier this year. Bill Theeringer is selling kits for this. Not sure if he was the originator of the kit or if he took it over from someone. See website:

Hangar Flying / Hal Hunt's instruction sheet
« on: April 21, 2006, 10:01:36 AM »
Don,

Did you read the Instructions sheet that Hal sends with his exhaust pipes? If you did, he is very adamant about not using cabin heat muffs with his pipes. There are slip joints on these pipes. Are you sure they do not leak? Are you sure that your carb heat muff will not leak these in? I spoke with Hal about this and he makes a good case for no cabin heat muff. Call him up and discuss it.
