Hi all,

I have created a mold for the nose wheel fairing of the XP if anyone is in need of the part.

We have also done the nose gear mods here. If anyone is in need of this, which is recommende ...

Looking to see where a person would be able to acquire a set of cowlings or use of the molds. Have a client interested in building the project.

What is the required thickness of the Belleville spring washers that are used in the fork assembly?

Oregon Aero

If molds are needing to be made for the cowls, let me know and I can help out. I've made one for the lower cowl of the XP model already.

Hi Greg,

That would be me. I'll get with you shortly. Sorry, I haven't been on in a while and just saw this.

Is there a standard radiator that was used for the XP and if so, what is the mfr and part number?
Has anyone used the new radiator for the 912 yet? Or is it too small for the application?

I don't have pricing as of yet. These parts can be done in one of two ways, either prepreg or resin infused. The one I'm doing for this plane will be resin infused. I'm waiting on pricing for the foam ...

As stated, it's the Shock Strut Attach Bracket (AD355-A)

Part number AD355-A

Does anyone have an extra one of these around?

If not, I'm assuming it's made from 4130 steel and I can have my welder make it. Easier if one is on a shelf somewhere.

We've used Jeffco 9700 Tank Sealer for many years with great results on aircraft running jet fuel to standard gas.

Biggest tip I can give is to make sure ALL pinholes and edges are sealed.

Hi all,

I've recently just finished making the lower cowl mold for the XP. This was based off the original cowl which was reworked because of damage and turned into a suitable plug. The original ...

We'll definitely be interested in this before the new one is ever installed. 👍

We use the Jeffco 9700 all the time for both 100LL and Jet fuel tanks. Never an issue.

Does anyone have a source for replacement XP engine cowlings? We got in an XP that had a nose gear failure and the lower cowl is pretty wiped out. Combined with the amount of oil and rework need to r ...
