Carbon Fiber (and Owen Bell) To The Rescue

[hharney]

Thanks for the info Ernie. I knew that Owen had the CF rear panel but wasn't sure of what all was included. Does it include the rolled ring? Sounds like a nice mod. I was hoping to get Owen to join us at the Kalamazoo meeting but in all my attempts to ask him about attending I have not heard back from him. Glad to hear that you are pleased with his items and I agree that he and Don need applause for the continued passion for our aircraft. If you talk to Owen let's try to encourge him to join us in Michigan.

Owen makes the ring (P/N 1552127-2), which is common to all 337 Skymasters and is where the cracks typically appear. I don't know that he makes the rest of the rear panel.

I highly recommend a dynamic prop balance. Without it, vibs will always be a factor.
