Ifr F21-b

[Tom Garrick]

Looks like we will be getting my F-21B back together after Harry had it for three and one half years. Has anyone had any experience with putting an IFR package in a F-21B?

Re: Ifr F21-b

Are you thinking bare minimum to make it legal or a nice avionics stack?

Anything that was listed as an option on the original equipment list or in the type certificate data sheet can be installed with a logbook entry and weight and balance update. If it isn't on that list it needs a 337 (alteration) and perhaps an STC.

Our F-21 was an IFR trainer before we bought the wreck and rebuilt it. It is alot easier to do today with the avionics packages that are avialable now.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but I just had a thought. The FAA claims to promote air safety, yet their obstinance and bureaucracy keep us flying with 60 year old technology.

Re: Ifr F21-b

See Tom it is very easy to start a thread!! Sorry I did not get around to it last night. NOW! this thread is for useful information about having an IFR Taylorcraft. When I was with the factory, we worked with two buyers to work up IFR ships.
THE problems we encountered were fuel vent possible icing, heated pitot,
static source that was reliable in all flight attitudes, Soooo if anyone who has "approved data" please share with the others on this thread. We had a 1941, full IFR ship here many years ago with turnable loop antenna for the ADF, 2 VOR's , two big venturi's, very heavy.
Tom wants to have information available as his ship goes back together to become his dream machine.

Mike, Any info you could send me on your plane would be greatly appreciated. What does your panel hold and how is it arranged?
