Larry,
why are you selling?? Hopefully because you found another one you like better??

[WebMaster]

It is not. It's not even the $6/gallon fuel. It's the fixed cost of ownership, the monthly mortgage payment, insurance, annuals.
We priced the plane to sell, so we can get out of it.
I thought about parting it out, (I probably could get more money that way) but I want to see it gone.

[rschmidt]

Larry,
Sorry to hear that you are selling. I've been lurking here for a couple of years (just got my license in Feb.) so I know how active you are in the group.

I know the cost of ownership has been widely discussed in this forum, but would you be willing to share your most recent numbers for insurance and annuals?

Will you be flying your plane to Oshkosh? I live near Madison and I may want to take a look at it.

Thank you,
Richard Schmidt

my last insurance bill was for about $3K.
My last annual was less than $1K. It depends on parts, but I have, for several years, been able to assist, owner assisted annual, which dramatically reduces the cost of the annual inspection.

I am not flying my plane to OSH.

[WebMaster]

It's sold.
Thank you.

[stackj]

That's good news and bad news. I'm glad it moved easily. I'm sorry to see that you are no longer a Skymaster owner. I hope you will continue to be a member of the group. You have provided a great service for us.

Whichever way you go, I wish you great success!

[WebMaster]

It is my intention, (unless of course someone has a buring desire to become the webmaster), to continue in this role, and offer advice where ever I can.

[rschmidt]

Larry,
Thanks for meeting me at Oshkosh, it was a pleasure to speak with you and meet Herb and Jerry as well - please thank them for me.

Sorry I did not get to Bassler to see you off, the bus was super slow, probably due to the increased traffic after the airshow.

I did see Jerry briefly, he was waiting for his clearance, he let me know that you had already left.

Do you know of any Skymasters close to Traverse City (or at least within reasonable flying distance? I'm still hoping to get a tour of a cockpit while in MI on vacation 8/8-8/15. I'll have a C172 in Traverse City while on vacation.

Thank you again for your time,

Rich

There Was A Skymaster In Tc. Not Sure If It Sold Or Not. My Neighbors Son Is A Cfi At The Airport And I Could Hook You Up With Him Because He Might Know. Also You Can Search The Faa Site To See What Skymasters Might Be Registered Up There. The Faa Do Not Include Phone Numbers But Google Is Amazing To Track Down People.

A Friend Of Mine Was At The Tip Of The Leland Peninsula Last Saturday And Said That There Was A Skymaster On The Airport (5d5) Woolsey. Not Sure If It Is Based There Or If It Was Just Visiting. You Can Always Swing By Grand Rapids And Go For A Ride In Mine.

[rschmidt]

Herb,
I'll look around while I'm in your beautiful state, but if I don't find anything, I may call you - thank you for your generous offer, I'd be happy to help pay for fuel.

Are there any days next week that are better or worse for you?

Thanks again,

Rich

Next week I leave for Idaho on Wednesday morning, so it would have to be before Wednesday.

Hello Larry.
I see a counter drum altimeter installed in your panel. Can you tell me what kind it is and if there is an STC for the installation.
Rgds Troels Hansen

[WebMaster]

I don't know what kind it was.
It was an encoding altimeter, not all that uncommon. I am unaware of an STC for it, however, there was no 337 form for it.
Kollsman makes one, that is both in. hg, and millibars
http://www.kollsman.com/downloads/28007.pdf
Most people use simple altitude encoders, today.

[Diamond Service]

Thank you for your answer.
The reason I ask is that counter drum altimeters are required for commercial operation in Europe.

Rgds Troels Hansen

[JeffAxel]

Troels,
the altimeter is an ARC EA-401A, it was a factory option on Skymasters. The full part number is 42540-3128. It is a servoed electric altimeter/encoder. The altimeter part works just fine, the encoder part can be troublesome, and expensive to fix. They are pretty common encoding altimeters and it shouldn't be too hard to find one and no problem to install since it could be ordered that way from the factory. If you use one of these altimeters, you have to have a non-electric altimeter as a backup in case of an electrical failure, probably just keeping the altimeter you already have as the #2. I have a repairable core if you are desperate, but it will be expensive to fix I would guess.

[WebMaster]

That makes sense, as we had a non-electric altimeter also in the airplane.

Hey Larry,

Is the old girl still for sale. I am interested.

Larry,


Sorry, I didnt see the post announcing that it was sold.


Mark

[WebMaster]

You should look at Paul and Mary's airplane. It is nicely equipped.

[hharney]

I have an electric Altimeter in the TwinCo. It was in it when we bought it and seems very accurate. Not sure if it has the encoder or the static unit next to it. The static unit has to be there for legality reasons as Jeff indicated. Seems like I have seen these in Trade a Planes from like Airwich in Kansas. Might be a good place to look.

[WebMaster]

The cool thing about them, as opposed to the ones you more typically see, is that you can dial in 29.97, as opposed to saying, 'should be about there'
