In this thread, Rick Bell talks about getting the VGs from Ray Torres at no charge, and then RMorris tells us that he can't find VGs in RT Aerospace's web site. I simply clarified that the only VGs...

Minor correction: the VGs are part of the gear door removal kit. That mod leaves the aircraft with open holes near where the wheels retract, and the VGs smooth the airflow in that area, near the rear...

I'll ask if he wants to post a SOAPA price list.

Aside from being a nice guy, he's arguably the most knowledgeable person on Skymaster structures. He was a Senior Structural Engineer with Eastern...

I think you want a 1422550-12 if your aircraft S/N is up to 337-0379 or 1422550-20, which is the more current number. But it's for the entire lamp assembly, and there's no P/N for just the lens. See...
