kinoons Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I can testify that the aircraft was stalled about 6 or so feet from the ground for a pretty damn solid landing on the main gear in the desert. a collapsed nose gear was responsible for the end-over. I wouldn’t expect anything landing gear related to be salvageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Is there much left of this poor bird? What condition are the Collison light lens on the wing and rudder? Mine are f-ugly looking and could use a refresh. I could also use the acrylic pocket window rails. Do you happen to have this bracket that holds on the cabin heater box behind the engine?

dabaero Posted November 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Vic, I will get out to the hangar tomorrow afternoon and can help with some of your parts requests. If you can send me a PM with any other parts needed I will see what is serviceable. Rudder and wings were not rebuildable. V/r, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towner Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Do you have the flap circuit board and the flap relay board? Also, did it have an autopilot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabaero Posted November 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Autopilot sold. I have all the flap components but was holding on to them as spares. Are you AOG for the flap parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towner Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I’m trouble shooting flap problems now. Still not sure where the problem is, but I have a feeling it is a problem with one of the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 It will be the control board. the relays don't trigger ---, if the relay is malfunctioning it will just blink settings instead of displaying --- --- means no setting detected, which is also what manual up and manual down settings do, they bypass the controller and send the movement signal directly to the relay board.

Anticept Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 --- means it can't detect that you have the switch on 40. You said in PM that you replaced the rotary already which makes me think you have a board malfunction. Mine, years ago, was the darlington transistor array. As for the rest just flashing, you said that the flaps move with the switch, so that eliminates EVERYTHING after the control board 9 pin connector as a malfunction. You can move them with manual up and down, so that means signals are getting through too. It's not erroring on boot up (it would actually read ERR or something like that) so it can sense the potentiometer positioner, and the fact it turns on means that it's getting power. I do believe that's all 8 pins (9 is empty). I can only say you got a bad board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
