The shippinp will be $20.00. Yes you will be happy with the fit and finish. I just got finished making new molds for these parts. You will need to scuff,prime,and paint them of course.

I have a continental O-200 of recent (2006) vintage. It has the newer spring loaded pushrods tubes. I want to replace the seals on the tubes, but can't seem toFind a source for the seals. Spruce and Chief and all the regulars seem to stock the older style with the wire clamps. I know Real has a kit to convert, but I don't want to convert when I already have a similar spring tensioned system. Any suggestion?DaveSee More

ADS-B installed
Posted on June 11, 2017 at 9:32pm 3 Comments 1 Like
Installed a Skyguard ADS-B in and out system with AHRS
Install took two days, first day brackets and antennas.
Second day power, data, switch, breaker, cables.
Not a hard install, being a Amatuer radio operator probably helped. Don at Skyguard has great customer support.
Got an FAA report, all ok.
There are some great new products coming out there for experimental aircraft. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about doing your own install.
