Hello Tom, I did have some interest from my own club but will let you know a.s.a.p. Don't see a problem with dealing with someone in the US. When push comes to...
I am still interested. My zip code is 48101, Allen Park, Mi. Thanks, -Tom _____ From: StandardCirrus@yahoogroups.com [mailto:StandardCirrus@yahoogroups.com] On...
Any experience with St. Cirrus in this? After 2 years of searching, buying and repairing I have fully operational TOST winch. For now I'm towing Puchatek, but...
Hi Milos Winch launch is fine. It pays to hold some initial forward stick if the winch is powerful. Don't hold full forward stick as that all moving tail will...
The Standard Cirrus manual cautions that the stick should be held slightly forward while accelerating to climbing speed, and DO NOT pull the stick back. Also,...
Having just aquired our Standard Cirrus,(#206) we have noticed that there is a 12mm threaded insert in the bottom of each wing, out near the inboard end of the...
... First I have heard of such a fitting. I presume it is into the spar ? if not, I wouldn't use it for *anything* as the wing skins are not strong enough for...
Our Cirrus also has these inserts, which are intended as tie down points. They are also a point which is used to attach the trailer wing dolly on ours. We have...
Hi together, this points are mainly for building the wings! This inserts are the outer end of the direction change for the ailerons. This metal part is glued...
I recently had the opportunity to cut up a crashed Std Cirrus (not mine) to "see what's inside". Those threaded inserts are part of the aileron belcrank ...
Hi Chuck, My Eberle and Jon's Shreader (sp?) trailers both use them for wing cradles. Mine also came with tie down rings that look home made, threaded rod,...
No competition call sign, but we're N4024 or "024" for short. I already made a set of eyebolts for tiedowns, now I too, am nervous about using them. The ...
This is an interesting thread. I just assumed, nine years ago, that the threaded holes were for tie-downs. My glider had eye-bolts for that purpose, so I...
Hi together, i have send Jim some pics of the brackets and a part of the steering for the ailerons in a cirrus. Jim - could you please put them online? Thanks...
Stephan, I'll post the pictures shortly. Meanwhile, I got this reply from Helmut Treiber: Dear Jim, this fitting is for using as tie-down point see attached...
Hi Jim, thank you for the info - so i was wrong ... but i have not a good feeling tie down it on this points. Much more see it critical if someone mounts a...
All other guesses, opinions etc., not withstanding; they are for tiedowns. Part of the original equipment with 546G is a set of forged eyebolts for the...
I've updated the web site with material on this issue. Stefan Melber's gallery now contains images that he submitted plus a drawing from S-H showing the...
Stephan's photos are on the site under "Stephan Melber's Project", starting with picture 12. There is also a great S-H section view of the tie-down socket...
Some years ago we fitted the double panel airbrake mod. to a Cirrus 75. Before fitting, the sink rate with full airbrake at 50 knots approach speed was about 5...
Ahem. A word of warning to all shiny Cirrus drivers. I executed a very public "wheel down but not locked" landing at the Gauteng Regionals. As the newbie this...
Best advice I've been given from my local inspector is to 'feel' the wheel when in its swinging motion and use the inertia to reduce the loading on the...
Hi Tony Good advice on the retraction action, but the mechanism does not appear to lock over centre - the handle is exposed to shockloads transmitted from tthe...
Bruce, If my recollection is correct, the Cirrus u/c should overcentre at the knee joint on the rear u/c leg when in the extended position. See drawings on...
I am reluctantly posting this ,but for personal reasons I must sell my Cirrus. Located in Florida. Contact Josef Bostik 3219603438 or josefbostik@......
Thanks Adrian and Tony We did indeed discover two things, 1 - it does lock over centre - if the secondary motion pushrod is assembled right way up. Who knows...
