Thomas-I replaced all 3 when I did my FWF winter 16/17. I used MacFarlane. Really nice to have new stuff. I can send you the measurements my A&P took that we sent off to MacFarlane. My mixture knob was a mess so I decided to replace the knobs as well.

Definitely check the rigging of the ailerons as well as the flaps. And, the flaps have a unique bushing on them that are asymmetrical. If one of them is replaced with an incorrect bushing, it may be a cause of your issue.

Also, since you have a D model 200, check the spring for the aileron trim which is under the front seat. Either remove the…[Read more]

With the aileron trim, it’s force is very mild so it’s not an issue for the autopilot to override it. All it’s doing is adding additional pressure to the entire system to keep the wings level. And since it’s just a…[Read more]

Dean-If I recall, if an A/P is installed, the system then becomes inop so as to not interfere with the A/P servos, right?

Dan-does the bird have an A/P?

Are you talking about the plastic covers that are attached to the nose bowl itself? It’s just plexiglass. Some owners have purchased stock plexiglass at the hardware store and melted it on a stainless steel bowl in the oven.
