Isn't that the rego no of the golden single ??

Re: 3D Printed model of Commander 114 Thanks Scott, I would hate to see a Mooney get in there before a Commander. Maybe that will get them moving.

Re: 3D Printed model of Commander 114 Hi Guys, I can't believe I haven't received any replies. James, Pat, Judi don't any of you have any dimensioned drawings ?? How about a copy of the drawings at the front of the POH or any drawings in any of the workshop manuals Has't anybody got something...

Hi Guys, I have unfortunately had to give up flying the beautiful Commander 114, VH-UUU here in Oz and the plane has been sold. I do however continue to follow the forum for updates on what is happening in the world of Commander. One of my other passions ( the engineer in me ) has been 3D...

Re: Elevator Inoculation Well done Jim, whilst I'm sure we have all been anxious to get back in the air I for one as an engineer appreciate the time and effort you and Martine have put in to finding a one time once and for all fix that will not need costly and time consuming constant...

Hi Rob, I managed to misplace your phone number. I know you left it on one of the threads for me but I'm buggered if I can find it. As you may have seen on the forum we did the inspection on UUU and unbelieveably after only 415 Hrs Airframe time the Spar has a 3/4 Inch crack on the right hand...

Re: SuperStream Hi Jim, Well you would not believe it. We carried out the inspection and found a crack on one side 3/4 Inch long, and after only 450 Hrs Airframe time. Unbelievable ! . My LAME says that the Hinge bracket that is on there is totally under engineered and can understand the...

Re: SuperStream Hi Jim, What is the lead time for shipping. I'm just trying to work out I we can get it all done now whilst we do the AD inspection. CASA ( our FAA ) has put a date limit on us to complete the inspection.

Re: SuperStream Hi Rob, you picked the right aircraft. Actually I'm not the owner. I'm just lucky enough to be Able to fly it. Gerry, the owner is not into the Internet and chat forums so he leaves all that to me. He has done a wonderful job of restoring it for use and it flies like dream. I...

Re: SuperStream Hi Jim, A question from down here in Australia As we unfortunately don't have easy access to your facility we need to consider your Kit for the superstream Mod Now considering the new AD on Elevators I am looking at the best way to combine the two. I am fortunate to now be...

Hi it is Keith again. If we have to disassemble the rear control surfaces for the ad it seems like the right time to make the mods for that "Speed Mod" I have been reading in your threads. Can you also quote for a parts kit so our LAME can do that at the same time. If it is easier you can email...

Hi it's Keith Bowden "Agro" a new member from Australia. I have recently started flying a 114 that was restored to service after about 20 years sitting in a hangar. It has a total airframe time of only 490 hours , yes 490. Now with this recently surfaced elevator AD I would be extremely...

Re: New Member from Australia Hi guys Well the system definitely works I followed up on Glen's info re aeorfairings and they came back witha quote within a day. They have them in stock Thanks for the help guys

Re: New Member from Australia Hi guys, thanks for the quick responses, I'll certainly be following them up. For Scott, I recently moved out of Sydney after 60 years for some peace and quiet in the country and stumbled on a group of flyers at a place called Frogs Hollow. If you get back to Aus I...

I recently started flying a 114 and I am loving it. I want to look at replacing the Clear Lens on the wingtips that have yellowed and gone opaque with age. Does anybody know where I can purchase these Lens and what they are worth ?
