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

WebMaster · #4 07-29-08, 09:34 AM

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.

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.

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.

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

Most people use simple altitude encoders, today.

Diamond Service · #9 09-09-08, 04:01 PM

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

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 · #11 09-10-08, 09:28 AM

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

Larry,

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

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

hharney · #15 09-12-08, 06:10 PM

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.
