Service Kits

[jrichards]

Hi All,

Aerodyme announced 17 service kits at Jekyll Island for a combination of ordinary maintenance, and solutions for chronic problems, including:

Shimmy Dampner (seal kit for ordinary maintenance)
Nose Torque Knee (nose scissor) (to cure the shakes)
Gascolator (seal kit for ordinary maintenance)
Nose Door Hinge (short doors, aft hinges)
Nose Door Lift Stop (to stop damage to nose actuator)
Nose Drag Link (brace) (believe me, it's worn out)
Nose Actuator Attachment (ditto for many)
Engine Control Ends and Boots (helps save your control cables)
Gear Limit Switch (comprehensive kit for doing it right)
Elevator Push Tube (clunk, clunk, clunk)
Empennage Hinge Bushings and Bearings (the whole tail)
Flap Actuation (flaps getting loose?)
Flap Hinges (ditto)
Main Gear Shoulder Bolt (bet you wonder what this is)

Some of the parts are standard that you can buy elsewhere, but the kits are always convenient (even for my mechanics). Do you want to pay a shop to look up parts in the IPC, solve the mysteries, and order everything in... or just hand them a kit? The convenience includes:

1. List of required parts... included!
2. Instructions for orientation, special notes, etc... included!
3. Hard to find items... included!
4. Impossible to find items... included!
5. Minimum-order items... included!
6. Extra parts that result in a better solution... included!
7. Technical assistance from Aerodyme... included!

I have attached the overall sheet depicting the kits, and the price list including the fly-in special discount column. We will extend the 10% discount for all purchases until this Friday, Oct 1. We'll try to get all this info into our website revamp fairly soon.

If you are interested in any particular kit, I will email you the kit datasheet.

Your support for this initiative is much appreciated. You WOULD NOT BELIEVE how much time this took to pull together, with more work to come to add additional kits (any suggestions?) and to put this all on the web. With your support, we can continuously shop for better prices and keep on solving obsolete parts issues.

Re: Service Kits

Jim... I really appreciate that you have put these together... besides all the "big" mods that I'll order one day (after kids out of college, loans paid off, weddings paid off and I win lotto... ), these are really great for all the owners, and really help getting good service out of local shops that might be "making do" with parts on hand.

Thanks a million.. for all you've done for us!

Re: Service Kits

Jim: Are any of these kits, or any other STC's or services you provide on your website? When I go to your website, I can only pull up the front page. There's nothing after that. If you haven't got your Website set up yet I'll print these attachments and keep them for future reference. Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf.

Re: Service Kits

Hi Allen,

We are planning a proper website, but sorry not done yet. I'll try to at least put up some basic links for this information within the next week or so.

Jim,

I'd like a Shimmy Dampner Kit SK100-01 if you have any left. How do I send you the money?

Re: Service Kits

Jim,

FYI.. I ordered a whole set of the flap track replacement bolts (6X) they were going to be shipped to me as you did not have enough at the fly-in. Can you put a sevice kit for the aileron hinge bolts?

On another question, I san most aircraft have a reinforced section on the outboard aileron hing, was that an AD? and is so do you have the documentation? Thanks!!!

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.

Re: Service Kits

Kiko did you also order the 580? I think Pat said yall were going to order it in the month of October. Pat didnt you say that?

Re: Service Kits

As you remember she said she would pay for it : ). If it's any indication, my bi monthly allowance check bounced but I noticed 77J is all gassed up. Perhaps she does have her priorities straight

Did not see the aileron Hinge support replacement (SB-114-14) of May 1978. I have not seen or heard of many aircraft needing this fix. Obviously the SB was put out because there was a rash of such failing but with no AD it would be not be fleetwide. Have you seen a number of these replacements due to actual hinge near failure/failure?

Re: Service Kits

Hi John,

Just one case of cracked original supports.

Only a few of the individual SB parts remain, no full kits.

Re: Service Kits

Jim,

I have some questions on the 390 conversion.... I tried calling but the number on your website wasn't working.?? I've got to start planning for my overhaul and I want to look at the 390 as an option. Only have about 5-600 hours left but will go through 300+ of those this year.

Re: Service Kits

Our website seems OK from our computers. Tried to call you but only have an old number for you.

You can reach me at 802-264-6400 x1 or jrichards@aerodyme.com

Re: Service Kits

Thanks for the muffler that I purchased from you in March. My cabin heat is so much better now and the flame screen is still in place like it should be . You pack the best shipping box I've ever seen! My mechanic and I love your kits. Makes life so easy.

Re: Service Kits

Thanks for your kind comments Michael.

We've had so many new and overhauled exhausts come in damaged because they were just stuffed in brown paper, that I finally said enough is enough. The foam we use is about $125 per 4' x 8' x 4" sheet and cuts easily with a cake knife. My standard for acceptable packaging is that it must survive a 6' drop test on any side without damage to the contents. UPS unloads their planes right beside my hangar and we see first hand how the freight is handled.
