I had seen that and always thought it rather strange - are you ever going to fly it without oil??

I have the same setup as Dave with two 9 inch venturis with a regulator and it works very well. With a slightly extended run up I can have the gyros working before takeoff if needed.

When I got my adaptor years ago it was originally sold by El Reno and was later bought up. El Reno would send you a thread chaser (with a deposit) to clean up the threads which did make it easier to install. I recently installed the latest and greatest gasket kit from Tempest - so far so good.

Here is an article from Steve Knopp from P-Ponk. I posted this somewhere years ago but don't seem to be able to find it so here it is again.

When I had my engine rebuilt some years ago at Lycon I had them do the port and polish, it did 157hp on the dyno.

Under 14 CFR Appendix A to Part 43(a)(2)(iii) the FAA defines a major alteration as "Installation of an accessory which is not approved for the engine."
Now what type of approval is required and what the definition of an "accessory" is the question.

Nathaniel replaced item 16-6 in the IPC. Appears you’re looking for item shown in fig. 16-55, the bearing for the elevator tab. Try searching for Cessna p/n S2629-1 or S3895-1.

You are correct, I was looking at the wrong one. Thanks.

Thanks.
The parts catalog shows a PN-3A (Torrington), is this the revised part number?

Where did you find the rod end bearing for the elevator? I haven't been able to find them.

I did my interior walls (after cleaning, priming and epoxy painting) with 1/4 closed cell black foam that has adhesive backing. I think I got it from Spruce or Wag Aero. I did NOT install any cosmetic plastic trim over it. It reduced 'oil caning, noise and gretly helped reduce interior temps in ext...

I’m not a CFI, but on rare occasions I have allowed experienced pilots to land ‘98C from the right seat and always admonish them to not to slip with full flaps. In an airplane that can get down as steeply as a170B with full flaps, if you’re still too high to land safely, you’ve already screwed up r...

I was not recommending any particular model, my link went to all the models sold at Amazon. I don't have the particular model you referenced. All I can say is I have had these in ALL my vehicles for 10+ years and have had no problems. I'd point out the the review page you pointed out shows 92% gave ...

The 1-star reviews on both those items aren’t good… and I don’t like carrying any more lithium batteries than I can throw out the window in-flight….so don’t store it where you can’t reach it in-flight, YMMV. This is a good minor alteration mod to perform: 466E923E-81AD-44BC-9293-D1470E77FE3C.png No...

Link didn't work for me. This jumpstarter perhaps?

Yes, thanks. Repaired link (I think)
