Richard.

I'm not sure if the one I have is original plus the face of it is pretty pitted and bad looking like in paint fading and peeling.
I will check it out today. We are doing my annual so it would be a good time to do it now.

Thanks

Rudy's aircraft intruments will put a new faceplate on your ASI when you rebuild it. Cost I think was $50.00 extra, you can have Taylorcrfat embossed on it at the same time.

Re: V-Speeds

Peter,



I only know four V speeds for a BC12D. Best Angle (Vx) is 60 MPH and best rate (Vy) is 65MPH. You don't need Vfe or Vso unless you have flaps. Vs is usually around 38 to 40, but varies between aircraft depending on installation. Vne (never exeed) is 140.

I am a little curious why you don't just have an original indicator rebuilt.

I would like to buy a new airspeed indicator with the airspeed limitations on the card rather than on the glass. Where do I find the V-Speeds info?

Thanks
Peter
