Re: Skis

Do you have to make up bushings? Are there only certain skis aproved for our T Craft? I have a set off a Cub available to me too. I do not know what they are but will find out.

Hi There.

I would be interested in any ski information I can get my hands on. I have a set of Fed 1500A that I will use, I also have a set of bushings that are being repaired.

Thanks

Re: Skis

I have a set of drawings for installation of Federal skiis for Taylorcrafts. I can send them out to anyone interested. I do charge $2.00 to cover copying and shipping costs.

Contact me at:

Re: Skis

AC43-13 (chapter 5) has everything you need to know about rigging.

The length of the cables is installation-specific. I like them rigged as flat as permissible.

I highly recommend the Atlee springs in place of bungees. http://www.fadodge.com/

Approved skis are on the type certificate (http://www.taylorcraft.org/resources...C_337_STC_data), have their own STC, or can be field approved (generally a very easy process).

Bushings are required. I can't help with that.

Keep out of the overflow.

Re: Skis

Federal has an installation drawing for a1500's on a t-craft.

AC43.13 applies when it does not contradict the manufacturer's data (read the cover letter on the first few pages of ac43.13).

Only way to know if it does not contradict is to have the manufacturer's data.

If you can't find it elsewhere I have the drawing.

Re: Skis

I just bought a set of Federal 1500's $950.00, with Atlee springs Modified to 15 inch wide bottoms and ptex. Tim

Re: Skis

The 1500s with overly wide bottoms have been known to fold up in front of the post. It's a hell of a ride. I wouldn't go much wider than 12".
