F-19 AERO Ski Drawing

[Sirhc]

Hi, new to the group.
An AME (or IA in the US)
In the process of bringing a1975 F-19 with 330 TT back up to an airworthiness standard.
Of the many questions that I have had the forums have been helpful in answering except this one.

The one missing piece for the aircraft is the drawing for the AERO M2000 Skis. I was told the paperwork was there but all I found for a drawing is the Federal Ski drawing...
I have all the related components including rotten bungies but no tail ski. (don't think this was even an option at the time)

Looking to see if anyone has a copy of the drawing?

Happy wrenching!

I don't, but you could try over on Supercub.org There's quite a bit of "ski guys" over there.

Welcome Chris. Hope you find this forum useful and informative.

Sorry I can't help with the drawing.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but could I ask:

How difficult was it for you to get registered on the forum?
Did you have to do anything more than fill out the request form?
How long was it from when you submitted the membership form until you could log on?

Thanks

Forum was helpful did a fair amount of general browsing just to learn more about it. Have only worked on one other Taylorcraft in the past. This machine has turned from annual to project at every turn of the wrench.
Signed up, answered a few questions and it was a solid few days before I had any permissions to post or DM.
Never been a member on a forum before so it is a learning curve. little frustrating but under control.

I believe that is where the Federal drawing came from... found a copy online from a forum that looked like it had the same copy creases...

Grumman Goose... My father has many hours in one of those.

Have you tried contacting Aero Ski? http://www.aeroskimfg.com/contact-us.html

I've had several sets new and used, but don't currently have any installation drawings except the Federal prints. Mechanics just cite AC 43.13-2B, Chapter 5 Ski Installations then the pertinent paragraphs 504-508, etc. ICA instructions are the same ref 508 (a) (b) plus CFR 43 Appendix D. W&B and equipment list revised. Plus the typical +10% and +20% performance distance increase disclaimer in takeoff and landing respectively that goes in the airplane.

Yes my backup plan is the 43:13 and to reference the Federal Dwg. as it seems that what the previous owner did.
I have not contacted Aero Ski but I have perused the site as I found his post here asking for pictures for his site. Interestingly the list of approved aircraft on the RHS of the page doesn't list Taylorcraft.
I don't remember the 10-20 factor in the 43:13 but it has been a while. I have been more focused on the gear and electrical section with this project.

The recommended performance data change on skis is located in AC 43,13-2B Par 506. I have a copy of that and it needs to be in the aircraft FM to satisfy CAR3.

Dealers should have prints: http://www.aeroskimfg.com/aero-ski-dealers.html

Locally in Fairbanks Northland Aviation Services should have them. Ask for Jon the owner: https://northlandaviation.com
