Re: Club Merger

We are working to recover the AAC Forum and absent the ADMIN credentials are not optimistic we can get the site back up. The data in the threads is what we would really like to preserve. This Bulletin Board is in serious need of cleaning and that is on a task list. We have probably another week of w...

Re: Chief brakes discs and pucks

Re: Are the Snap Rings Required for C85 Pushrod Sockets?

I don't see any snap rings in the parts catalog and not quite sure what you are looking for but I don't recall any snap rings in tappet body, hydraulic unit, cup, or pushrod chain.

Re: my new Chief... well, new to me

Re: Wing tank!

I probably should have messaged you. This forum has diminished with the advent of Facebook and its ability to immediately exchange anything and everything in open dialog.

Re: Fuel octane

Bob there are probably not enough small planes out on Long Island to make it profitable to purchase, store, and sell UL94. When you get much above 125hp the engines really like the 100 octane.

Re: EDO 1320s

I have a set of EDO 1400s that sadly I may never get installed as my workload exceeds my age and ability to motivate myself to work more than a few hours a day.
