Re: Kelly Aerospace Thermawing Part DI-00080

Sylvan,

I do not have any of the old modules. However, I do have one of the older computer controllers. See pictures.

Re: What Propjet guys play with while rebuilding their plane

Tom,

That Jet bike needs to be at our next Landing and at EAA with our LOBO logo flag trailing off the back!

Really cool !!

Be careful and please do not try installing any wings on it.

Matt,

David Mcrae is the best at diagnostics and repair of the Therma wing system. I may have some old parts and will look for them when I get to my hanger.

Stand by...

Re: Lancair Aerospace Packing and Moving

Hello Everyone,

I spoke with Augustine about 2 weeks ago. He and his partner are non-responsive concerning the company’s status. It doesn't look good for anything happening soon. Sorry for the bad news.

Re: Main gear leg brake line

You will want to replace ALL the nylaflow lines, even the ones that connect to the master cylinders. See pictures of my plane before I replaced the lines down the legs with the small stainless tubing. See how you connect to the trunion, etc.

Re: Main gear leg brake line

Konstantin, Do not taxi/fly until your brake leak is fixed! You should also make sure your airplane is complied with service bulliten # SB037 (Gear leg witness hole).

Re: Air Conditioning Options

I suggest you spend the $20k. It is well worth it!!!!

Call John Strain with Flightline A/C. 541-330-5466, john@flightlineac.com.

He will quote you the system and then you will need to find a build shop like Brad Simmons to install.

Good luck !!

Re: Seemingly unrelated troubles

Rock, Another thought... You may have your static ports in a poor location and when you change flap settings and/or gear up/down/airspeed changes, etc. this can create turbulent air over these ports causing minute fluctuation in airspeed. This condition can be hard to detect but with huge confusing ...
