That's kind of what I thought....now where do I find the bracket? I know that A/C Spruce has one (I think), but are there any other sources?

Terry

OK, I have a question....I'm getting ready to put a new panel in the Champ, and I need to plan on installing the compass. The actual compass is the smaller type, with the 2 1/4" face size. But MY compass is installed in a 3 1/8" hole with a spacer. The compass is also installed in a "...

Robert,

Yes, I used the Odyssey battery holder/box.

Email me at tiav8r@yahoo.com, and I'll try to get a copy to you!

Terry

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've FINALLY gotten my field approval for the Odyssey battery installation to go along with the STC'd installation of the SkyTec starter in my 7BCM. I've been piddling with this since Christmas, also installing a new interior, etc, that sort of slowed things d...

Robert,

I'm getting ready to finish mine up. I'm hoping that in the next couple of weeks I'll have it done. My IA is going to contact the FSDO guy in the next few days and double-check that what we've done is the way that he wants it.
As soon as I get it flying, I'll let you know!

Terry

My Champ, a '46, narrowly escaped being turned into a duster in the late 50's. It was owned, along with two others, by a guy who was a civilian flight instructor at Malden Air Base in Malden, MO. He converted one, decided that he didn't like the way that it flew, and the other two got spared. I've a...

Haha! Sort of like landing at Oshkosh...it's fun to watch all the crappy landings by guys that you know are pretty good pilots. Nothing like having a hundred thousand people watch you land! Sure can be intimidating!

Gus, I've known several people who've gone in there, and they say that it's not anywhere as bad as how it looks. I'm looking forward to going over there. I don't fish like I used to, but I wouldn't mind wetting a line over there, but if I fly over, it'll probably be to partake of the restaurant. Aga...

Probably could do it without a fuel stop, but I have an 85 with the standard tank---no aux fuel. I just don't like running on the edge, especially in all those hills...haha! Your right--the wind we've had over here this week at CGI are just about stalling speed in the Champ! March has arrived! Well,...

Dennis,

That sounds great! I take it you've been in there before? I'm looking forward to it. Maybe if there are other Champ owners in the area we can have a "Champ Fly-In"!

Terry

Gus, Yeah, I thought I had the wrong size at first, but realized that the casting just had to be filed down so that it would fit the tubing. Not too much work to make it fit. Ash Flat? I saw it on the chart when I was looking at northern Arkansas. I'm wanting to fly over to Gaston's from here in Cap...

Joe, Got it from WagAero, and it took a little work to get it to fit, but it's in and bolted now. It was a little oversize, and had to be filed down around the shank to slide into the rudder tube. After a little filing and fitting it worked fine. My IA was happy with it. This one has reinforced hole...

Thought I'd let everybody know that I got a new horn, got it installed, and now I'm back to work on the floor, the battery, starter, & wiring! That horn was a real challenge! Thanks to everyone for their help!

Terry Irwin

Will do, Joe! Thanks!

Terry

Roger,

Can't help but lust after your tailwheel horn......still trying to find a replacement for mine!!
