'I am currently looking at purchasing a 1946 Fairchild 24R with the Continental on it. It currently has a sensich on it but it comes with two beech props. I am wondering if anyone could give me some information in regards to the AD on the beech prop and how significant the performance advantages are with the constant speed over the wood prop. The aircraft currently has Stewart Warner replacements for the fuel guage sending units, however they have not been calibrated. I understand that this is a bit of a trick but any advice is great.'

'Would anyone have, or know where to find, a trim crank handle for a PT-19. Thanks, Clarence

'Clarence,
I believe your best bet would be to contact Tarver Propeller as they are about the only folks who will mess with the Beech-Roby The AD says something about removing the screws that hold the wood blade to the hub. The Beech isn't really a constant speed, just adjustable in flight. I was supposed to get one with my F-24R, but it never was delivered. I do have a spare electric prop control assy. on the shelf if someone needs one.

'Thank you for the information. I believe that the aircraft comes with the Beach Roby and the electric prop. At one stage of the aircrafts life it was on floats and they had the electric prop on it. Have a great day.

'The last time I had one repaired by Maxwell in MSP, I was told the bearings are almost always bad and they are next to impossible to find, and that was 10 years ago.
