----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Good morning J.L.:
I am sorry that I can't help you with your problem, but you may be able to help me with mine.
I would like to put some sort of wing leveler / auto pilot in my coupe. Do you have any information on the wing leveler that is in your plane?
If you were willing to make me a copy of anything you have concerning the instalation, ( 337's, etc., etc. ) I would be eternaly greatfull!
Thank you very much: Maynard Smith, N99843, Colfax CA, (530) 637-5115.

P.S. If anyone else has anything that I might use to help with a field approval, please drop me a line. Thanks again: Maynard.

Could some of you Alon techs and restorer guys send me your phone numbers, or at least offer a little advice. I am having trouble removing the upholstered deck from behind the seats, without bending it or scratching the windscreen. It is reinforced with riveted angle to stiffen it, and now I need to remove it in order to replace the rotten carpet and burlap upholstery glued to it and repair some of the screw-holes I tore with my big 14's thrashing around while working under the panel. Only way I can see to do it is to remove the rear windshield. The deck, which looks to be something like .020 aluminum sheet, has a full-length bent in channel at the fore end which fits over the structural cross-bar extending from one side of the fuselage to the other, just behind the seats. This cross-bar is riveted to the fuselage skin. Thanks.I have been flying this wonderful bird. C-90-14 power. No leaks in the tanks, hallelujah! It has a vacuum-driven wing-leveler which works too, and a great panel. No bad landings so far either --- all greasers so far (knock on wood), although I am going to start using approaches a little slower than 70 kts.
BTW, we stripped and magnadyned the yokes and painted them gloss black polyurethane. They rock!
Kindest regards.
