    Default Vacuum Pump Removal

    Removed a wet vacuum pump, regulator, filter and a DG and AH from a Pacer today. Here are the weights so far. Ordered the vacuum pad block off plate and will add that to my weight list.

    Interesting, I wondered what all the stuff weighed.
    What is the plan for the removed gyros, pump parts and the Pacer?

    Parts are available if anyone needs them, AH was rebuild a couple of years ago. He intends to install an electronic atitude indicator at some point.

    Could you please send me contact info so I can ask about the wet pump, AH & DG.
    14P has the old AN style attitude indicator and drum DG, I have been lusting for modern 1970 style gauges, plus it would be good for our fleet to have a spare vac pump available.

    My daughter and I delivered Bender's Pacer to him yesterday. You may remember this airplane, Steve and Brian recovered the fuselage and on tear down ended up having to replace the frame. This was a very nice flying airplane that had very responsive and effective ailerons. Kudos to Steve and Brian for building a great Pacer.

    That airplane always was a good performer... Ron Gasmann owned it before Bender bought it and it really got of the ground good and flew real nice...
    Thanks for the comment Steve...

    Brian.
