Service Bulletin M47-16 with supplement 1 dated Feb 26,1960. But none of these specifically address the O-200. Might look at them anyway, since...

Ah, now I have to go look. Just when I was getting comfortable on the couch. . .

There is a conversion service letter that states it (the service letter) is FAA approved. Not sure it covers that exact conversion. I'll try to dig...

81 here. Sorry I pissed somebody off - it was just an opinion. 14 landings today - I plan to fly until my friends cannot get me in there any more. ...

With Web on this - there are all kinds of interconnected adjustments. Big pain in the neck even with factory cowls. I watched a pair of CC...

I think I agree - but for a while there, folks were saying that if a beacon were installed it had to be on for engine start. I do not recall seeing...

Well, Callie Graphics has done amazing things for me, both with that bear and with some pretty creative model train stuff. Kind of block out what you...
