Bill,

How can I get a hold of Judi.

Thanks - Peter

Hi Carl,
Saw your post on wanting help with RCM. Well, I certainly ain’t younger than you and I’m not an A&P but if there’s anything I can help with, just yell. I’ve got time and half a brain. Not looking for pay either, just would like to lend a hand if you can use one.

Hi,

We are a maintenance facility based in Australia and we are seeking 114 wings as our spar caps are corroded.

Would you have any contacts who we could pursue? I have already contacted most of the major salvage yards.

Saw your floor in the landing light thread. It is awesome!
what type of material was installed? Self or hired?

That's awesome!!! you were in during Desert Storm uh??? That was some real stuff going on back then!!! humvee's with plastic doors LOL... I served in Fort Drum, NY and the motor pool was full of them

I've always wanted to become an officer or Warrant officer, but ended up leaving after 4 years (after getting married) ... It was a good run!

Thank you for the info on the pump.. let me know if can connect to both wires... I would love to see the light every time the pump is running.

thanks

Marcos.

Were you a CW2 in the Army? I was an E4 long long long time ago.

Hey Phil... the other message page it's letting the respond.

Great!! thank you so much. The green wire is the gear up positive. I will attach to that for sure. Should we only attached to the gear up? How about when the gear goes down?

I was hoping to light up the indicator light every time the pump is running (either up or down) so if doesn't stop, I can pull the circuit breaker.

If connecting only to the green wire, will it light going down as well?? or just up?

I appreciate any information.

Thank you

Hi Kevin
Sorry to hear on your engine rebuild, I was wondering why you haven't been active on the website. My plane is down for a rebuild as well and expected to be done in October.
I will drive down for the fly-in this weekend sounds like fun!
Also I had reached out to you about any hangers at your field that might be available, would you know of any?
If I could get your cell, I will reach out about saying hello Saturday at the fly-in?
All the Best
John

Hey Carl, tried to call you but went to voicemail. Here are the DXF files. I did a little more clean up. Glenn asked for them and I also gave it to him, but I agree with you that any design improvement should be made before anything is made.

Here are the baffles in case you need them. They still need a little work.

Got a quick question for you. I ran a wire for a hydraulic landing gear pump indicator to my dash. My mechanic will install it for me, but out of curiosity and just to make sure he doing it right (I am the first one he is doing it) which wire on the pump does he connect it to?

The light on the dash is grounded, so one leg is going all the way to the back to get the positive. By looking at these pics, can you tell me where to connect the positive? It that on top of the pump?

I have a 1976 114 and based at Pearson Field, Vancouver, WA.
On mine 4 of the inspection plates have been replaced.
Give me a call and hopefully, I can save you a lot of extra work.
Flew to Arlington last Saturday and saw your airplane on the ramp.

Hi Carl... hope you are good. So I'm a new Commander owner, bought N226VC in early November 2022. The engine was "high time," and it will be coming back online in the next week after a major overhaul of both the engine and the prop. So I saw you say something about a nose gear system bolt (5/16?) in the thread about the article in FLYING, and wanted to learn more about that. How would I know that I have an upgrade here, or need one?

Thanks so much!

Judi... I emailed you the report a couple of times, but it bounced back. did your email changed?

Carl, can you give me a call, please. I am interested in the nose gear doors.

No luck on the search for the grinder. I spoke with several mechanics.

Hey Judy... quick question: I know the commander has a dedicated page for the tail AD 2012-02-10, but my airplane has a doubler and with an STC SA01647WI, but I can't find a copy of this STC on the FAA website. This STC was installed in 2018 right before I purchased it.

I know our tail AD mandates inspections every 100 hours (if I remember correctly) but with this STC doubler re-enforcer installed, I think the time between inspections change or eliminates the AD. I am just trying to make certain.

Do you happen to have a copy of this STC?

Thanks

Marcos.

Hey Phil

Quick question: Have you ever made a baffle set for a commander 112? My is getting worn and it will be time to replace it soon. I know some guys here digited the baffle kit for the 114, do you have anything for the 112?

I appreciate it

Marcos.

Just to make sure I am covering all bases
Here it is again,
