Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Thanks all. I've completed testing on the new bumpers: durometer, installation, ops, margin, creep, set, chemical, hot and cold. Now just waiting for us to get to 100 requests. Jim

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Hi Scott, When we ship, PayPal will automatically generate an invoice, sent to your email. Then, you just pay that. Thanks, Jim

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Hi Mike, Confirming, yes the rivnuts are fine, but for those having to remove the nut anyway, I suggest the extra effort to install a nutplate for better security. So, to be clear for all: You can install the new bumpers three ways: 1. Using nuts like the factory...

Hi All, We are pleased to announce that GarKenyon has appointed Aerodyme as its exclusive distributor for the Rockwell Commander fleet. These offerings currently include the 48838-501 NLG Actuator and 48837-1/2 MLG Actuators for 112 s/n 381 and subs., 112B, 112TC, 112TCA, 114, 114A, 114B and...

Hi All, The Aerodyme suggested TLC for your Commanders this month is replacement of the inadequate OAM 9102Q Main Gear Stop Bumpers with new and improved. The objective is to provide for safety clearances at the pressure plate bolt heads, caliper bleeder screws, and bumper retaining screws...

Re: 200kts Commander Hi All, No progress to report yet on a blower for the 580, but much other work in progress to add knots: Clean sheet induction design. Plenum CHT cooling. Relocated coolers for lower drag. Timing advance. Raked exhaust. Wing extensions. Thrust angle. Jim

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi Jason, With the extra motion, at the sprockets etc, it's hard to isolate what's happening at the collar/mount but it does seem looser than expected. Is there any mention in your logs of repair/replacement of any parts related to the controls/parts in this area...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi Jason, I see your sprockets dancing around as you wiggle the shaft up/down and left/right. The sprockets should not be moving by any appreciable amount except in rotation and push/pull. I would suggest a condition check on the bushings at the base of the column...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi Jason and All, By design, the collar outside diameter is 10 thousandths smaller than the mount (socket) inside diameter. This allows the collar to freely "tilt" with the variable shaft angle. By design, the collar inside diameter is 10 thousandths larger than the...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi All, Today an owner reported installing a new collar and finding no difference between the new and old. Allow me clarify: The controls geometry requires the collar to move as the yoke shaft slides in and out, and safety margins must be maintained on collar ID to...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi All, We have shipped all requests for 112 s/n 221 and subsequent serials and models. The 112's sub s/n 221 use a different part number. We need to run an installation check for those airplanes. Is anyone interested in a free set in return for helping us check the...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi All, The collars are ready to ship. Please confirm your email address by sending me an email to: jrichards@aerodyme.com Thanks, Jim

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi All, Thanks very much for participating in the pre-buy of new shaft collars for your Commander. We will be shipping next week. I will need your current best email address in order to invoice you, and to send you the FAA paperwork for these parts. Please email me...

Re: New Commander Owners Welcome aboard Jim. Jim

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi All, We are close to the 50 requests I need for the run of collars. Please keep those requests coming! Jim

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi Todd, Unless you are lubing the tubes, the closest grease to the area would be from the u-joints. Check for a leaking u-joint boot. Another long shot would be a pedal cylinder on that side squirting or misting some fluid as you use the brakes. Check for any...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Hi Neal, There is a loading condition that sets a minimum ksi for these parts, but I am planning a modern, slippery, material. In fact, it's the same that we use for a wear band in the dampers. Slightly softer than Delrin, M88 vs M94, and with a lower water...

Re: Control Yoke Collars Thanks all, I think that's 25 sets thus far. We need 50 sets requested to make the proposed $125/set price. Each set would include two collars, one for the PIC side and one for the COP side. Jim

Hi All, Control yoke collars: 47315-1 (early) and 47355-1 (late). This collar (bushing) is located inside the mount (socket) where your control columns pass through the instrument panel. As these wear out, the columns become free to slop around in the socket. Not too big a safety issue...
