Wrecked my new Glasair I
Chris, Sorry about your luck...sounds like you had the right idea. I
can't help on most of this but I do have considerable experience with oil coolers...I designed several of the units from Niagara and Aero Classics. First I would check the oil cooler...If it is an overhaul from Pacific oil cooler services in El Monte California, call your attorney. It's my experience these people should have all of their FAA licencing revoked immediatly. The history behind Aero Classics is everything delivered from them between July 2001 and May of 2002 is probably OK but anything else should be sent to Niagara for a complimentary pressure test. I was a founder of Aero and with the company between April 2000 till I departed due to conflicts in the quality of product they chose to deliver due to financial constraints. Stewart Warner units are all good unless Pacific has claimed to have overhauled it in which case I would be suspicious they did not just clean it up and yellow tag. The folks at Pacific bought the remains of Aero Classics and now have licence to manufacture the crap they used to just flush and glue, they know nothing about manufacturing and their business tactics are deplorable...they use every ounce of energy falsifying data submitted to the FAA and in my opinion the FAA sucks as well because they believe it without ever questioning it...that is precisely how they have gotten away with it for so long, they know how to play the FAA like a fiddle. Stay with factory direct Niagara or Stewart Warner otherwise the surprise like the slaved altimiter to oil temp gage will get you again...pass the word! |

Um, drCool, are you aware that the message that you're responding to is from 20 September 1993, and that it's almost a dozen years old now? Where ever that oil cooler came from, it came from a loooong time ago. Thanks, and best regards to all Bob K. htt://www.hpaircraft.com |
