I am looking for a T&S coordinator, electrical, to replace a "Cessna" unit that has gone U/S in the Jodel.

Thanks

Gavin

Have you got vacuum ?

If so, I have a freebie here.

Also - check the bus voltage to the unit if the dolls eye isn't clearing. I thought I had a dead turn and bank on my Citabria - turned out to be a charging problem..........

Have you considered this

I saw them at Sun'n'Fun last year and was quite impressed.

Thanks Gents.
Interesting Mike, guess what problems I've recently had, yes you guessed a charging problem. Going out to garage now to run it up on a charged battery.
Got the loan of an other electric one that I fitted this weekend and seem operationsl.
In any case the bearings on mine are every noisy, competing with the engine noise, so prob needs a service anyway.

The vacuum is a better idea (and lighter), I guess as long as I have enough suction from my venturis and run the T&S on different venturi than Artificial Horizon, then I have back-up.

Cheers

Gavin

Bench tested with good power and still dead.
I am guessing that together with it also needing gimbal bearings it might be an uneconomical repair....
Will investigate how much suction us required to drive DI and T&S and Artificial Horizon. If I have neough will go that way

Cheers
