Re: Better IO-540 Overhaul Hi Tyler, Aerodyme's T4B5 STC states "the spinner, propeller and propeller governor may remain in service provided that they are listed on the aircraft TCDS or separately STC'd or field-approved for the aircraft". Thus, if you already have a Mc C405 (Craner STC) or...

Hi All, Happy new year! I have encountered yet another 112 (pre s/n 381) with a nose gear indicator falsely reporting down and locked. This stems from the fact that the actuator-mounted switch and locking pin style actuator are complicated, old, and difficult to service, to the point that an...

Re: 200kts Commander Nice work, seems that timing correction has put you back on top! And making good use of low RPM is really effective on the flow. Jim

Re: 200kts Commander Yes, I am hopeful about EPS, although still will have W&B challenges for us.

Re: 200kts Commander Hi All, After seeing Lonnie's air work at T82 yesterday I am not sure we could mount more than 320 HP without filing our departure plans with NASA.... But seriously... I am watching these programs. Thus far, the scenarios have not been great. We need the HP to carry the...

Re: Cabin Door Hinges Hi Ken, We definitely have the lower hinges available at this time. We can provide both halves of each hinge if you need that, but it may only be necessary to replace the halves attached to the doors. I am traveling today, but can check our status on the upper hinges...

Re: New member and proud new owner Welcome aboard Michael. Jim

Re: SuperStream Hi Tyler, Sorry I missed your post at the time. Generally, we can match all-white empennage quite well. Colors and/or stripes across the fairing area are more challenging, particularly if any metal flake paint is involved. Thus, when a whole airplane repaint is being...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Yes, we have seen two cases of cracked torque tubes that arose from inattention to continuing shimmy. And those tubes are VERY expensive. Jim

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi All, Agreed, it is not the job of the damper to compensate for loose, worn and/or improperly installed nose gear components, but simply to stabilize the dynamics of our very short caster gear design, and thus reduce the wear and stress on all the components. Also of...

Re: UK Commander Get Together 2013 Hi David, As soon as I have five deposits for EASA SuperStreams, I will apply to EASA, pay the ransom, and grind through their pleasant and professional process to get the approval. At this point, it seems we'll have those commitments soon. Jim

Re: UK Commander Get Together 2013 Hi Steven and UK Fly-In Attendees, As you suggested, I am posting here that a Commander speed clinic is being planned to happen at Guernsey during the week, and possibly two weeks, following the UK fly-in. Clinic Agenda: Aerodyme STC SuperStream including...

Re: The "8 Knot Mod" Hi Finn, Stability is improved with SuperStream because the elevators (and tabs) cruise in a neutral position. SuperStream Commanders find, and maintain the "step" more easily. Our mod works by achieving the same "downdraft", as you call it, with all surfaces in stream...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Thanks all for your continuing support. We completed the new damper design in January, including several significant improvements that will eliminate oversteer loads on the dampers and extend the service life of the steering collars to which the dampers attach...

Re: SuperStream Hi Mick, Thanks for your inquiry. The SuperStream kit cost is USD 4,900. There are three SuperStream Commanders flying in eastern AUS, all installed by Pieter and Ivo Mole at SmartAir, Albury, NSW but I suppose that would be a bit of a hike for you. No problem, the kit can be...

Hi All, We are often asked if we can sell individual bushings and bearings for the elevator and rudder hinges. Because our kit is approved by an FAA Form 8110-3 issued for each individual aircraft, we only make the initial sale as an entire kit that authorizes the use of the Aerodyme...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi Dan and All, Last year, I contacted Lord and inquired about them adapting their "solid state" design for our aircraft. They had no interest at all. We are just too small a market. Anyway the good news is that I know our airplanes well and am confident we can...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Thanks all for your interest. We have started the engineering. Jim

Re: New 3-Blade Prop STC for 114/A Hi David, It is a great offer, but not that good, allow me to clarify: Factory New 77" or 78" Scimitar Three-Blade Prop Including Spinner... $7,900 STC installation instructions, ICA, and permission letter... $1,500 The props drop ship from Hartzell in...

Hi All, I am pleased to announce FAA approval of Aerodyme's latest STC. STC SA00326BO is for installation of the Hartzell Scimitar 3-Blade C3YR/F7693 on models 114 and 114A. Approval includes both 77" and 78" diameter, and installation of a new Hartzell S-1-55 governor if desired. For the...
