CAP Taylorcraft Buyer's Guide for Summer 2020 is Here

March 2020 marks our TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of being the care-taker of the Taylorcraft Engine Upgrade STC # SA1-210.  Better known as the "Gilberti STC", this set of documents have stood the test of time and are still useful as FAA approved data, now 52 years later (as of May 26th 2020).  While we are talking statistics, we went back and counted to find that Certified Aeronautical Products, LLC (CAP) has provided service in one way or another to almost 300 Taylorcrafts since we began business in 2003. Specifically, we have served 209 B-series, 75 D-series, and 10 F-series.  We've enjoyed every plane and getting to know every Taylorcraft owner, every Taylorcraft restorer, and every Taylorcraft pilot that we've met.

In honor of Mr. C.G. Taylor and Mr. Jack Gilberti, we are now issuing our Taylorcraft's Buyer's Guide for Summer 2020.  This guide contains most of what we have learned over the past 10+ years, about upgrading and maintaining Taylorcraft B-series airplanes.  As a few of these great airplanes have now reached the age of 80 years, many will be hitting that milestone over the next few years.  There's not a better time than now to clean up that lovely plane and make the effort to do some upgrades.  We are here to help you take good care of your sweet flying Taylorcraft, just like it has taken care of you for all these years.Just like the venerable Taylorcraft airplanes we support, the Gilberti STC and CAP are still here for continued flight for many more years into the future.

Another post that helps provide some explanation was provided back in 2018.  Click Here. Then after you review the buyers guide and the 2018 post, get your questions together and give us a call or email.

Exhaust System Retrofits

Aging exhaust systems can be a source of trouble for small airplanes. If not because the parts are hard to find, but they can be a safety hazard too. You don't want to skimp or neglect the condition of your exhaust systems. CAP has been involved in a number of exhaust system upgrade projects. Here are some reasons to consider making some changes.

Degraded / neglected / leaking old parts can lead to problems with...

• power loss, heating issues, or other engine problems
• corrosive hot gases impinging on structure
• noxious CO (carbon monoxide) can KILL
  

Improperly performed repairs from years past cause other issues like...

• poorly fitting parts hard to install / maintain
  
• interferences leading to cracks
• inadequate clearances causing overheating of other components

There are much better materials available now that...

• last much longer
• look cleaner
• are easier to repair
• perform better

Don't let the challenge of certification scare you away from fixing your exhaust system the right way. Call CAP for help. Watch the next few blog postings for some of our exhaust system success stories:
