    Oshkosh 2020 - cancelled

    New Cowling Update

    My understanding, years ago from Sid. Is that the 114 being a 6 cyl is much heavier up front than the 112 or TC. Also he shared flying with me.

    Hello COG

    Darrell-an intriguing proposition! A few years back a young gent bought a TC and we Owners collectively shared a list of 'items to look at', so to speak. Wasn't expecting this ? , and I hope our other TC/A owners add what I may miss here, but: -Turbo Wastegate cable - mounting, adjustment...

    New Shimmy Dampners

    So during my Annual, Pre 44N trip, the day my IA came over to my hanger to 'Inspect' after I had opened all my panels, we both spotted 5606 on the front of the shimmy damper. Now it was the 1st 82 ^ day since ? 2018 and the plane was 'probably still recovering' from last winter's Polar Vortex...
