Update to this.

Basically I have a duff 50A master solenoid which lives inside the control box behind the pilot seat.

I need a new part if anyone has any spares or knows where I can get one in ...

I experienced something strange yesterday which I’ve not come across with my CJ before.

Aircraft is in use but toddy there’s no power at all to the switches in the front cockpit?

Hello all

My CJ is experiencing an intermittent charging issue. Sometimes it will be fine and the generator warning lamp goes out after first run up but at other times it stays on even after run up ...

Hello all

Would anyone here have a pair of CJ6a "J9-G1" peel and stick prop blade decals in yellow they'd be willing to part with and mail to me?

I thought we could get these made l ...

We've done this.

The wings/horizontal stab and fin/rudder can stay in the shipping crate and be laid flat, the fuse can come out of the crate frame and stand on its gear and then go onto a flat bed ...

Good to hear from you Doug

Good afternoon all.

Has anyone taken over from Doug Sapp to supplying the spares for Changs? I need a few parts and not sure where to turn to unless I try some old contacts directly in China

Interesting issue.

With the stock Housai 285hp engine I find the stock oil cooler way too effective (although I would like a nice lightweight version that fits in the stock location as this ...

Here's one that's for sale, I'm sure the seller would answer any question

Managed to remove said bearing with home made puller.

The part required is 126TV should anyone else need to do this, it’s a self aligning double row 6mm ID x 19mm OD x 6mm bearing

Good morning all

Would anyone know the exact bearing size/spec needed for the cj6 aileron mount bracket?

Looks to be a common size one used all over the aircraft for pull rods, rudder hinges etc ...

Thanks for the replies

I should have added that I did open the main air at one point to charge the system but I fear my scuba bottle was somewhat depleted and couldn't bring the whole system to op ...

Good evening

Have a slight air issue on my CJ.

With system charged from external scuba bottle, pop off valve heard at 5kgcm gauge reading with main air closed but open the main air valve and pre ...

I would seek advise from the firm that did the overhaul on the old carb. They maybe missed something simple upon reassembly.

Hi Jacques

What is the issue with the carb on your K-14 engine?

My understanding is that the AI-14 and HS6 engine are indeed very close to each other (you mention the carb sizes are identical) a ...

From what I recall having had this in bits before the oil temp senders for oil inlet and outlet feed both front and rear cockpits via the change over switch, so if you get good readings in the rear co ...

Hi Jacques

Have you tried looking in the CJ6's engine manual for data regarding the carb?

I think all the manuals are available on Doug's website here:

Had the intermittent oil guage reading on my cj which got progressively worse until it failed altogether.

When we opened up the sender unit it was full of brown water and crud? Cleaned it all out, ...

The air temp probe isn't really part of the carb, is located on the airbox ducting just behind the air intake mesh filter screen. If you drop the lower engine cowling you should see it mounted horizon ...

Thanks for the replies which suggest there's only an upgrade piston for the HS6 engine (not the hs6a which already has 6.1:1 compression and therefore isn't really an "upgrade").
