UH1CW2

Phil, All Commander owners are lucky to have someone as knowledgeable, kind and dedicated to our fleet as you are. I did buy your knobs which is a handsome easy upgrade.
I took have a 112, mine is serial #391 which I assume I could use a gear check valve as a backup. If you have any more available, I would like to purchase one.
Thanks again for all you do!
John

Hi Phil,
Through a contact at Parker I was able to get a quote on the GUCV,s you’ve been working on.
Can you let me know your email so I can send you the drawing and correspondence.
thanks,Bill

Not sure which one you need but, I have a down switch.
I just recently had the up switch installed.
That company made mine and they are outstanding. They are easy to work with and will set the up and down pressure for you. Forget how long it took to get -- it was not fast. Give them a call and give them the pressures. I had them mark the up and down switch so that I did not get them mixed up.

I would like a set if you still have any. N4934W 1977 114 SN14256

The rear seat rollers on this 112 are square channel iron.

I have a 114 SN15256 N4934W. would like a couple of fuel caps. they are flat, not sure dimensions..

Do you still have seat rollers for sale?

Phil, saw your post offering to rebuild a Gerdes fuel selector on a 112. I have an Airight selector that needs work. Do you work those as well? Thanks. Larry

That's awesome!!! you were in during Desert Storm uh??? That was some real stuff going on back then!!! humvee's with plastic doors LOL... I served in Fort Drum, NY and the motor pool was full of them

I've always wanted to become an officer or Warrant officer, but ended up leaving after 4 years (after getting married) ... It was a good run!

Thank you for the info on the pump.. let me know if can connect to both wires... I would love to see the light every time the pump is running.

thanks

Marcos.

Were you a CW2 in the Army? I was an E4 long long long time ago.

Hey Phil... the other message page it's letting the respond.

Great!! thank you so much. The green wire is the gear up positive. I will attach to that for sure. Should we only attached to the gear up? How about when the gear goes down?

I was hoping to light up the indicator light every time the pump is running (either up or down) so if doesn't stop, I can pull the circuit breaker.

If connecting only to the green wire, will it light going down as well?? or just up?

I appreciate any information.

Thank you

Here are the baffles in case you need them. They still need a little work.

Phil

Got a quick question for you. I ran a wire for a hydraulic landing gear pump indicator to my dash. My mechanic will install it for me, but out of curiosity and just to make sure he doing it right (I am the first one he is doing it) which wire on the pump does he connect it to?

The light on the dash is grounded, so one leg is going all the way to the back to get the positive. By looking at these pics, can you tell me where to connect the positive? It that on top of the pump?

Hey Phil

Quick question: Have you ever made a baffle set for a commander 112? My is getting worn and it will be time to replace it soon. I know some guys here digited the baffle kit for the 114, do you have anything for the 112?

I appreciate it

Marcos.

Hey Phil, I know this is a hard to answer question, but with an owner assisted annual, what is typically your time frame for an annual on a 112? assuming no squawks.

I do a lot of the work under the supervision of my A&P/AI but he is getting older and has a lot of clients. So sometimes, but bird may get grounded for a month or more just waiting on him. He is awesome, but SUPER SLOW!!! like DMV slow haha!

I do all preventive maintenance and stay on top of things, so my annuals (the last 3 at least) has been pretty much inspections only. I do not defer anything, if something breaks, I try to fix it right away.

I've seen some folks get together and do weekend annuals. Is that something that you're used to do?

I appreciate it.

Marcos.

Phil,

Are you going to be doing owner assisted annuals? If so, I would be very interested this coming winter.

Phil, how’s the research on the Epoxy for the chip detector coming along?

Thanks for sending the gauges. I finally got around to opening the package and one of them has a stuck needle at or about around 250lbs.
I have pushed the button on top, which looks like a reset button, but no luck.

If it is resettable, advise how I could do that. Or, is it defective?
I have a picture of it if you need it.
