Hello everyone,

It's been quite a while.  I don't write often, but read all the mails that

go around.

I was wondering if I could get some help here.  I've been upgrading my panel

to the Electronics International insts.  Real nice.  Finally, after two

years of having them, I decided it was time to do the job.  Don't ask why I

took so long cause it's a long story. (When I'm done, I'll send the pics)

First, I was wondering if the control wheels of a Shrike can be fitted/added

to a 500, and if so, where could I get them.



I'm also in need of a good shop for a prop overhaul, in the Fla area, If

anyone has good reviews, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Victor Fernandez C

Used to be MDHE, but they moved it

Actually, 

I'm not in Florida; I'm in Dominican Republic, but Fla. Is, I believe, the

closest place with authorized centers.

Unless there is one in Puerto Rico?

I'm planning to fly the plane up there,, instead of shipping them.

Thanks,

Victor

Florida has no really any one that works on Commanders, I am in opa locka  and have a difficult time, there was one good mechanic, Wesss and he died last  week, your best place is Lakeland or commander aero.

There is a place in Tenn. Called Firetruck aviation that works on my 500 Shrike.  He holds several STC’s and is working on additional ones.  If you have more interest I can put together additional information.

YOU FEllows need to get out more.  palm beach aircraft propeller (mike)

was the hartzell contact with the hub a/d and is one of the best prop

shops in the country.  this is at lna.  also at lna is palm beach

aviation maintenance Jim Schiller has at least 25 years working on aero

commanders 561-262-8155.  he is in the hangar next door to the prop

shop.  he may to busy to work on your plane, but if he does it will be

done right and for a fair price.  he only works on commanders.  allan

Victor,



Were you based at Herrera airport before it closed?  A friend of mine would

purchase insurance repairable planes and fly them there for a paint job by

Hector who also paints for the military there.  Since moved to the new

airport.  I flew a Mooney down for paint and flew a painted Bonanza back to

L31 for a friend last September.  A few sad ACommander hulls there.  Pics

are on Nico's pic site.

I believe F. Lee Bailey (a famous attorney) had a twin commander based

in LNA.  About 12 years ago I had a prop incident and ended up at the

prop shop you are talking about.  While awaiting repair of the prop we

nosed around some adjacent hangers.  One of them had Mr. Bailey's plane

in it.

Just throwing the idea out there. Would there be any benefit in providing an education grant to promising young engineers to fill the voids left by those who leave us? The way I see it is that, if there is no investment in the future, the industry’s intellectual property in terms of Commander expertise will die out. These ships will still fly for a considerable period of time and good, knowledgeable engineers will be required. Perhaps an apprenticeship with one of today’s gurus will be a good start.

Re: Florida based service;



Our mechanic Jack is a retired 'snowbird' who spends his winters in Naples 

FL. He's a crackerjack mechanic and has been around Commanders for a long 

time and has been doing our maintenance for many years.



I'd be happy to forward contact information.



Steve
