If I mount this to my wings with a green on the other side, can I fly at night?

I'm keeping an eye out there. Trying to avoid the $500 replacement valve

Mine is stuck. I would like a spare to re-work so I can swap in a few hours.

Im unable to produce them, but I can share the files. I have a STEP and a parasolid file I can share. They might be too big to post on here or incorrect format. Other than that, I used the 3-640 Aeronca drawing for the holding hardware. I used monadnock clip nuts with locking nuts and 1" 8-32 s...

Mounted.
I used the mounting setup directly from the print. (I'll share when I get home Incase someone doesn't have it). Flew for 2 hours, no issues.

I will say, not all printers are created equal. Whomever printed my covers via a SLS printer had a very nice setup. Excellent quality.

Are you sharing the print file? Selling these units? Bob Not yet Bob. I'll share the CAD file when I finish the design. Once mounted I'll look at any changes I would make then share everything. If I could get a cowl not on a plane I would like to design covers for all the inlets for winter ops. If ...

Ridges are to keep the cover within the opening. This is based on the print 3-640. I found designed to that print the cover didnt fit my cowl.

Ill have some pictures from mounting this weekend.

Decided to think of a creative way to block the small inlet below the prop. Created the solid model and had it SLS 3D printed out of Nylon 12. Going to place some rubber strip on the back side edge and mount this weekend. Here are some pics. I had another one printed from Nylon 12 CF (30% Carbon fib...

My new to me champ came with a standard pitch metal prop. Thinking of putting a add out for trading for a wood climb prop.

Looking for thoughts on this.

Thanks

Thanks for reaching out Richard. Ended up finding someone local. Getting my last 2 hours this week and Ill be good to go. Thanks!

No worries Bob, that works. I wasnt sure what they came with, but I can work that that bit of info.

Thanks!

My new to me champ didn't come with a knob, only a 3/4 length of threads.

I can fab one up easy but would like to see what the "stock" version looks like. Any one have any pics.

Thanks!

Anyone have one they might be looking to get rid of? Not picky on color. Also, a set of plugs.

Thanks!

I'm in Harrisburg, PA. Just picked up a champ but need 5 hours for insurance. I'm a big guy so I need a light weight CFI for the training. Looking to knock it out one morning.

Anyone able to lend a hand?
