Hi Mark. I have most all the decals required for the 200 including what you need. I’m bringing samples to the fly-in but could mail anything you need. Call me at 269-369-1052 Ross Warner

Update on grease for the Warner 145. After my engine swallowed an exhaust valve two years ago, my protocol for greasing this engine has gone through a tremendous evaluation. I spent a great deal of time with my engine overhauler. While his forte is the Warner 165, he did some research on greases and their stability in the 145. He rebuilt my…[Read more]

Windows that are thicker than standard are also heavier, which is likely why there’s an issue with the FAA.

Global made a presentation at last year’s fly-in in FL. They hired a market specialist to actively search for a buyer. Their plan was to keep all of the assets (TC, fixtures, parts, M400, and 2918T) together as a package sale. If they were not able to sell the entire package, Nin George said they would contact our Association prior to d…[Read more]

I believe I have one in my stash of parts. I’ll check next trip to my hangar in a week or so. Do you need them for the mains as well? I’ll let you know what I find …

Have you asked Joan Diver about them?

Mark,

Sounds like your elevator trim is now correctly rigged. It should require 4 half turns (2 full turns) from full nose down to set at take-off position.

Hi Ed,

I typically fly a little slower than most, but 100 mph on DW, 90 mph on base, and crossing the fence (just short of threshold at 85 mph works fine for me. I carry a little bit of power into the flare, and roll it off as the nose comes up. You don’t want to try to flare at 80 mph without any throttle, as it will sink through to a c…[Read more]

Does anyone have an approved 337 for a 4-point harness?

R, Tom

That’s very helpful! Thanks!

It wouldn’t be difficult to install them. There’s a steel hoop that goes over you, right in between the two side windows. You’d just have to cut into your roof liner.

The OTW manual contains drawings of how the panels were originally laid out, complete with placards. Most panels have been modified over the years, some beyond recognition! I can supply a manual or pics of my panel if that would help.
