1934 Waco YKC Voltage Regulator

CAP is proud to support the restoration of this beautiful 1934 Waco YKC, by John M. Patterson, MD.  When John finally found an aircraft voltage regulator compatible with his Type B Generator, he needed approved data allowing its installation in the airplane.  CAP worked in collaboration with the regulator supplier Zeftronics to substantiate the part with the necessary compliance.  Call CAP today for any of your Vintage Airplane certification needs.

Projects Worked

The year 2013 was very busy for CAP.  But 2014 was almost over the top.  It was a good year for us.  Thanks to a lot of good help and our patient and generous customers, we have managed to serve the needs of most of our clientele.  Here are the past two years projects we completed at a glance.

This should help folks understand the kind of work we can support. If you don't see it here though, give us a call anyway... we are not afraid of new challenges.

Again... we are appreciative of all the work that has come our way.  We will continue doing our best to "Keep the Antiques Flying"!!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR VINTAGE RIDE!

Many have asked... Can I Customize my Antique Airplane?  

The  short answer is most likely YES.
The longer answer is "Lets look at the details and the cost and see if its worthwhile".   

At CAP, we try to provide certification services that Vintage Airplane owners and operators really want, but have a hard time finding the legal paperwork to do. We have been at this long enough to have learned a lot of ways to approach these things.  We have collected engineering data too from many sources. And we've developed some analysis and test methods to address certain requirements.  So you might be surprised how affordable we can get the job done.  Of course, there are regulations and limits to what can be approved.  But we try to approach every job with optimism, to see if there's a way.   If so, Terry Bowden the Vintage DER, can help.

HOW TO GET IT DONE:
The best way to approach this is for you to provide us with a list of all the changes you are trying to make legal.

Airplane make / model / serial no. or registration no.
Engine model
Propeller model
Engine mount (short or long)
Exhaust configuration (original/luscombe/hanlon wilson/etc.)
Fuel system configuration (nose only/nose + wing tanks/etc.)
Starter (yes/no) - if yes, make and model
Generator (yes/no) - if yes, make and model

Alternator (yes/no) - if yes, make and model

Battery (yes/no) - if yes, make and model
List of equipment by make and model (if applicable) such as radios, lights, brakes

Remember, just tell us what's been changed from the original TC approved configuration.  Once you provide the list, we can go through it and give you a price for the approved paperwork.
