Good luck Mike. And send a post back if you want the names of the
other companies. Like I said -- they all had 1 & 1/8 shafts, so
they're no use to me...

You should be able to sleeve the larger yokes down to 3/4".

Hi George,

You're probably right -- sleeving the inside of the 1&1/8 yokes to fit
my 3/4 inch shafts shouldn't be too difficult a challenge. But doing
that would require a 337 Field Approval. And that's what I'm trying
to avoid.

As I mentioned, several IAs and DEs have told me that a Field Approval
-- it if can be obtained at all -- will take at least six months. One
DE in Austin told me he's had a 337 pending for 14 months for a simple
GPS antenna mount on the top the cabin. What a joke.

So, I'll go on a while looking for certified 3/4 inch yokes I can put
on without a Field Approval. And if I can't find that -- I'll go the
Field Approval route.
