Fairchild Club Forum

I've had really good luck getting stuff like this fixed at Century Instrument.

I plan on having NC77605 at Hagerstown in September. Looks like its going to be a great event.

You probably already have this, and I doubt it even helps, but it's all I could find in the club's F24 drawings.

Wow Mike. You were about 45 minutes from me when you were at Lee Bottom. Anyway, glad to see that airplane getting flown after sitting for so long.

I don't know about the PT-23, but Brackett does make a replacement filter for the F24 and it isn't listed in their catalog either. GIve them a call, they might surprise you.

Carb is sold

I've got a Stromberg NAR4B carb that is excess to my needs. It came with a Ranger core that I bought a couple years ago. I'm using a Marvel carb so I don't need the Stromberg. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Everything moves like it should. I'm selling as a core, but I'd expect it to be worth ...

Could it possibly be the Flap Closure Strip? See attached drawings.

What kind of noise?

Just another data point. I've flown my F24R about 100 hours in the last year or so. It's an older overhaul that was done back in the late 70's. Currently about 400 STOH. I use about 2 qts/hour and the engine also leaks. I also run Phillips 25w60. It appears to be mostly coming from the crankcase ...

I've got new manufacture Tarver blades and everything was working great until I found a tiny crack in my hub. Looking for a replacement hub. If it is set up for a 24R46, even better.
