Why don't you want the filter? Used to change mine annually and it was always filthy when I did.

Hi

Looking for a working Suction/Vacuum Relief Valve Cessna P/N C482001-0101 if anyone has one or knows a good source please PM me.

*NOT the RAPCO/Airborne ones with the garter filter

Thanks in advance!

Mitch

As I told you by email on the 14th of November, you never paid me for a floorboard and I don't owe you a floorboard. I also told you that I had other family priorities right now. Your reply on the 11th of December, nearly a month later and where you grossly misremembered the purchase price in your favor, went unanswered, as did your email on the 16th of December. Again, I've had other priorities that superseded drilling out a floorboard and bringing it to Oklahoma for you. Today, in fact, is the first time I've been able to think about "Cessna" in months.

Harassing me on a public forum isn't going to bump you up on my priority list.

Ok for those that want to do IFR Approaches on a big screen. Non WAAS. Price Lowered $1200.00 for all plus shipping ….

See what shenanigans go on while I am away? The "Honey, I shrunk the (future) kids" comment made me laugh. I remember reading a long time ago that your flying getup should be what you're willing to wear while running away from a crash. Tennis Shoes or Cowboy Boots would suffice. However, a strategically placed backpack might prove to be prudent.

Michael did the sale go through ,the ad is still up on trade a plane?

I've gotten one from this company and have been happy with it.

I have the right side, but it's a hard panel with no shock mounts and is one piece.

Let me know, thanks

Here are photos of two jack pads I have, the first one, the one made from flat steel that has a pin on the bottom for the jack to lift on works very well. This one also works on most other flat spring steel geared aircraft, it is the one my friend’s son designed and is still made by my buddy. It has something very similar to thin cardboard for a pad for grip and anti-scratch. I have never had this one slip or cause any kind of scratching or damage.
If you want one I can ask him how much they cost.

The other one only works on a 150 with flat spring steel gear, it is made with a tapper sized specifically for these aircraft. I purchased it on eBay about 20 years ago, I have no idea where you would locate one today, but I am sure you could build one similar if you can’t locate one. I do like this one and it works very well. However it does have a drawback, on occasion it gets stuck on the gear and I have to use a hammer to dislodge it and even though I have a piece of felt between it and the landing gear, it has scratched. Maybe some deer skin would work better.

If I could only have one out of the two…….I would choose the one designed by my buddy’s son because it has never caused any damage or gotten stuck. And while it looks like it could slip, it never has.

I've been slimed.

To be fair to Alex - I think he had just finished. My bearings were always FULL of fresh grease.

Well then, I've lived! A lot! But....there is a proper method to pack a bearing full of grease, and slapping it around on its end like that isn't the way.

You should hold the bearing on its side with one hand and scrape the grease off of your other hand into the bearing until it comes out of the top.

You never slapped a bearing full of grease? You haven't lived

I will take a photo of the two I have when I go to the airport today. One I purchased on eBay, the other was designed by my friends son just prior to him being killed by a drunk driver, I call it a Jamie Jack. Jamie’s Dad, my friend Daryl, still builds them for people.

That is an interesting concept. I've never seen that before. (the jacking part, not the cradle part)

BTW: it looks like Top Gun is not using the correct method to repack that bearing.

As long as the other two wheels are firmly chocked to prevent movement - I used to carefully jack under the end of the axle with a cupped pad on a hydraulic jack and then lower/safety the plane down onto a cinder block and wood.

I sandwich my gear leg (mine was round) between two short boards with a “C” clamp and used that to brace my Jack to lift the landing gear. (Used rags to protect the paint on the landing gear)

Worked well for many years for me Good luck

I am looking for a jack pad or anything else that you guys might recommend for jacking up the flat spring gear Cessnas. My plane is a Tailwheel if that changes anything. Let me know what ya got!

Mike, Im interested. Do you have the right side too?

I prefer to fly with Vans. “Prison shoes” my buddy Lee calls them.

Well........you mean that "nekkid" pilot with a straight tail dragger.......?

Well a lot of ATP's fly in Justin Ropers or Ariat Bookers. Which are both a Roper cowboy boot..... so maybe thin end of the wedge.

Thank you for your forbearance....

That kind of temps show who the real men are!

Real men bear down and get with it!

Or is that bare down and get with it??
