I remove a fair amount of adhesive N Numbers on Cirrus and there is adhesive left behind after the characters are peeled. Even if you can't see it, the ghost left behind is partly adhesive. We use 3M...

I have had some luck with Craigslist under "ride share" getting a trailer pulled from CA to Kasilof AK for a reasonable cost. I put an ad (free) in a few areas relevant to my starting point and...
I have a very close friend who was losing the battle with Muscular Dystrophy and wanted nothing more than 1 last flight in his Cub. His son was a strong ox and we tried every platform we could think...
One of my finest moments was installing a Plane Power system in my Lyc powered C-175 then gifting my spare Inter-Av set up to someone on this site and ending my suffering. The Inter-Avs were golden...
I would recommend following the rudder rig procedure from start to finish also. It's not hard but trying to adjust out a single item has proved to cause at least one other problem in my experience. ...
I'm not certain but I think 530548 is the forging # rather than the crankshaft number. I kinda recall having that cast into a cheek then the part # being etched/stamped in.
I don't see many 4 cyl...
There are a number of wet wing specialists around the country but this should not be beyond most shops/mechanics. It will be a lot of work to address correctly but not a technically difficult job....
When someone turns around in front of the shop and blows stuff everywhere, I still mutter Cannon Ball Run. The youngsters on the crew look at me like I've gone round the bend, no clue what I'm...
I've seen a half dozen oil seals on Lycomings and 1 on an O-300 Cont go missing. I presume all had been split, just really didn't see a way for a solid seal to get away. I have seen a few solid...
I don't profess to be a Super Cub expert and don't do many fabric aircraft theses days but in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can expect to wait 5-6 weeks to get into a shop. I really don't know who...
Lot's of good advice here, I have had a PA-12 and (one at a time) a 206, a Cherokee 6, a few Bonanzas, even a Beaver, and near free use of a 182. Had 2 for perceived maintenance shop needs that I...
They don't specify in the parts books but seem to refer to cylinder #2 in diagram. I checked a 182C that stopped in for a rough mag, it is in #2 but who knows when or who installed it. Likely...
Well, look at that. I did it in spite of myself
I have the parts books, send me a PM and I can send you the page.
I'm not good at managing images and posting. I think there are some issues about publishing the pages in a public manner too in our...
If you can't find a drop in, check with Loree Air in CA, https://www.loreeair.com/
Good people, family owned business that has done beautiful work for me for years. The son and daughter-in-law are...
About 25 years ago a friend stopped by my shop with a picture he had taken over the mid-west farm fields on the way back from Oshkosh in his J-3. It was a a big field with an expertly plowed "FARMING...
A simple check is to access the carb (or injector body) throat (venturi) and take a look visually. I have had multiple Lycomings run intermittently rich over the years simply from a piece if baffle...

Giving it a try.
P.S. They show that as non-returnable and they are buggers about that. Might want to confirm my book skills before getting on the hook.

My books show it as a 0770731-1 (speaker, 180/185 only), Textron shows it as superseded by S4628-1636
Try YingLing if you don't find it elsewhere, Textron has 30+ in stock.
Textron list is $437 ...
Agreed, you might want to tread lightly. You may not get the reception you are hoping for and the owner may be just fine with things how they are. I bought a similar situation PA-12 after 15 years of...
Sitting here in the office this AM in the Continental books with low motivation, so I looked.

Doesn't bother me at all. The shiver was the thought of trying to teach proper gear configuration to a Cirrus driver. I see the product of Cirrus type aircraft every day and they learn the sleek,...
Nothing to do with the topic but as a DOM for a busy Cirrus service center/training center/135 operation, I shivered a little reading the comment on teaching a Cirrus pilot to fly a Carbon Cub. Hats...
Some years ago I had this happen after installing big ol tires on a customers -12. I kinda figured it was holding oil in the rocker box but there was no going back once he had the experience off the...
