Re: SuperStream Hi All, Martine and I had a great time hosting Lonnie here last eve in Vermont and watching him blast off this morning. He'll be skirting the weather to the NW and be driving into some headwinds so it won't be quite like his trip up to ISP a few weeks ago at 240 GS. The below...

Super 59W Streamed! Super 59W Streamed! Hi All, Was just briefing Lonnie on our results SuperStreaming 59W and he asked me to post the news to all of you. Firstly, let me say that she came in already very fast, well-rigged, and with most of the speed tricks already in place, so that really...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi All, Thanks everyone for the very enthusiastic response for new dampners. We seem to have the basis for an initial run of 50. I will get started on a cost/price analysis and post again in 4-6 weeks with a prospective pricing. Then, I can collect firm commitments...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi Everyone, We seem to be climbing through 36 owners interested in new shimmy dampners. That's a great start, thanks all. I wonder if we can reach at least 50 for me to use for an initial cost/price analysis? Hi Neal, Yes, I would be starting with the "B" design...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi Neal, Commercial Aircraft Products was acquired by APPH in 2007 and up until last year was willing to sell new dampners under some said "permission from CPAC". For some reason that changed last year, probably because their new parent company was concerned about...

Hi All, As you know, the achille's heel of our otherwise well-designed airplanes is the nose gear. Our gear has very little caster and is easily subject to severe shaking episodes on take-off and roll-out. Just one severe episode may fracture your magnesium/aluminum torque tube. Some of...

Re: SuperStream Hi Ian, 143 does seem slow, what RPM and GPH are you using at 7,000 for the 65%? And what do you see for CHT's? Hi Byrne, Yes, all Commanders are eligible for SuperStream. 112, 112A, 112B, 112TC, 112TCA, 114, 114A, 114B, 114TC and 115 Hi Allen, The SuperStream clinic...

Re: SuperStream Hi Willem, The higher you fly, the more wing AOA is needed to create the lift to carry the weight. Thus, if you were to closely observe the streamlining of your elevators, you would notice that the upward deflection of the tips gradually diminishes as you cruise higher and...

Re: SuperStream Hi Mark, The special pre-buy pricing was a loss leader for me to help offset some of the approximately $125,000 this STC has cost me. The standard pricing going forward will be $7,900 turn key for the full SuperStream clinic as enumerated on the list I have included here...

Re: SuperStream Hi Alex, 31J: '76 114 with no flap seals, no gap seals, no wing root fairings, no naca dorsal, no enclosed beacon, no chops, 7.00 tires, tired paint. But she is now FAST! Jim

Re: SuperStream Hi Frank, Yes, she does have the induction airbox and elbow supersedure just like we did for you. Jim

Re: SuperStream Hi Alex, Agreed, that is the math, but I still scratch my head about how 31J has become so fast. She does 164 at mid weight in standard air at a few thou MSL. She was re-weighed for the test flights, and her ASI was cal checked, so no errors there. Certainly, I don't expect...

Re: SuperStream Hi All, SuperStream is now an STC! SA00306BO, Aerodyme's 7th STC for the Commander fleet. With your continued support, there can be many more. I was just checking the performance of my 114 SuperStream demonstrator, N1931J, against the 114 and 114B books: 10,000 MSL, standard...

Re: SuperStream Hi David, Thanks for your interest. We just finished flying the FAA-approved flight test plan yesterday and I expect the FAA STC to issue in about 2 weeks. EASA acceptance should be a simple administrative exercise, but it's probably a bit tight to expect them to turn it...

Re: Service Kits Hi John, Just one case of cracked original supports. Only a few of the individual SB parts remain, no full kits. Jim

Re: SuperStream Hi All, The first wave will be 17 SuperStream Commanders. Thanks very much for all the enthusiasm and support. It helps me help you. Jim

Re: Service Kits Hi Kiko, The aileron hinge support service bulletin is attached here. We will be shipping your flap kits today. We'll pull together an aileron hinge bolt kit and should be able to ship that in a few days. Jim

Re: Service Kits Hi Andy, We'll call you on Monday for your cc and shipping info. Thanks, Jim

Re: SuperStream Hi Pete, I understand your special circumstances. Keep me posted. Jim

Re: Service Kits Hi All, Thanks very much for the enthusiastic interest in our service kits. The 10% fly-in discount expires today, so please let us know if you wanted to take advantage of that. Jim and Martine
