Just joined the group and looking for tips on buying a 114 (1978). Found one in CA with left wing replacement in 2018. Aircraft number is N5879N. Would anyone out there know what might have happened with this aircraft. Appears to be a possible ground/non moving event.

Hello all,
The reason I have joined the Commanders Owners Group is that I’m searching for a Commander 114 to purchase. I have owned many aircraft but never a Commander. I’m joining to educate myself about the breed. Should I find a machine that interests me I’d be looking for information about a pre buy inspection and folks with maintenance experience with Commanders. Should I ultimately purchase one I’d need a flight instructor experienced with the aircraft. Hoping to find much of that through this organization.
Thanks,
Dennis Christiano Sr

Do you have the information for the support brackets 42263-1. need at least one. You can contact me here or call 239-293-7141

Hello, is there any chance you still get messages from here?

Hello Commander(s),
N4578W is on annual and the Maintenance called me today - it seems there is an issue with the Fuel Selector (no worry, no leak - the poblem is that they can`t remove the selector, because the small grub screws can no longer be unscrewed and therefore the selector cannot be lifted off the axle. Does anyone still have a selector that no longer need or a tip where i can get a new one?

Thanks Judi - greatly appreciated

Southeast Commander Shops

Does anyone have good recommendations for shops in the SE that have a lot of Commander experience? Looking for some help on a few small issues. NC, SC, GA, or North FL. Thanks

Are you selling your Commander? I see that it is posted on Barnstormers. A gentleman by the name of Joel is brokering it? I have a student that is interested in the aircraft and was trying to get details regarding the aircraft. My name is Brian and my number is 704-363-2985

G'day COG President,

I'm new to the Group, tried to join, filled out the name, email and and password entries but when I attempted payment, I received a message I don't understand. I appreciate some assistance and a call would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Frank,
My name is Ed Sinayi, I’m the owner of N515CA a 1976 114 SN 14059. I’d be interested in any spare parts you may have left over after the sale of your plane.

I live in Reno but am interested in your Cali Commander group. Joe

No information, yet. I will pester him tomorrow.

I'm not sanguine about the possibility. He sent me a picture and it had a rough, off-field landing.

Helllo!
I just bought N49AB,112TC, sn 13066. My wife Betsy and I are very excited to have this opportunity. We own a 1947 Stinson 108 that we have greatly enjoyed but it’s time for better capabilities.

We are working with the previous owner’s mechanic to address a few issues that have been discovered. One of them is the gear bell being so weak it can not be heard inflight with headset and normal noise. I remember reading a thread about connecting another bell in series with the old bell to increase the volume.
Would you have a recommendation of how to accomplish that?

Also, thank you for the operating tips that you shared in a post in this forum. I developed a checklist that combines your advice with the POH guidances. This was invaluable while I learn to effectively fly the Commander!

Thanks again!

i'll give you my logbook entry which was specified by the FSDO for both the Yokes and Adapters.
your shop is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Carl... hope you are well. So how much are the fairings... and how difficult are they to install? I've often wondered that the litte CO detections I get in the cockpit when on the ground taxing around is because of the cheap rubber fairings that are on my plane now. Thanks so much!

Hi Kev... hope all is well. So I'm having my GFC500 installed as we speak, and I want to install the Cygnet yokes now as well. But the problem right now: My Avionics guy is looking for the paperwork that authorizes him to install the new adapters so the yokes can be attached. I understand the Cygnet yokes may be PMA'd, but what about these adaptors? Are they also, or is a "Field Inspection" required?

I will talk with the owner I am sure he wants to sell it as a complete aircraft.

COG has a quiet program that may be able to pick up a number of these springs to hold as reserve "inventory". COG won't sell them directly as they must be considered "Owner Provided Parts". But COG can help with the acquisition expense to reach a cost effective min ordering quantity.
