Any plastic fairings for old Cessna aircraft

[meglin]

There are various plastic parts for the Cessna-337

337

 

[meglin]

We continue to expand the range of plastic parts. Due to the high strength, the warranty period will have to be extended.

 

[meglin]

In addition to the Cessna-172, we make parts for the Cessna 150, 182, 337

bottom line is these parts are illegal to install in the US on a certified aircraft. period.

 

[meglin]

You are absolutely right, the near future will be absolutely legal.
Certification work is actively underway and is doomed to success.
Why?
Because our parts are stronger, because they are lighter, because their service life is many times higher.

good luck, and i wish you well on certification.

For now, we will limit ourselves to a warranty period of 5 years.
And mastered the production of glasses.

and you still have not received PMA or FAA approval, so they are still illegal to install on a certified aircraft.

Couldn't they be installed as OPP assuming the IA was in agreement?

Not by simply purchasing them. To qualify for OPP the owner needs to be involved in one of 5 ways. For example, if you were to send meglin a copy of the OEM drawing for the part and he then produced them per that drawing for you then sure you could go the OPP. But at present, actively selling and advertising these parts for install on a TC aircraft violates both Part 21 and Part 3. So as mentioned above they aren't legal to install in their present form. I suppose an AP could pursue an alteration under their certificate or at a higher level but one big road block is the parts are produced outside the US in a country without a bilateral agreement if I recall correctly.

 

[meglin]

I am afraid that after receiving approval, no one will take parts from other manufacturers .
FAR 21.303 b states owner and operator may make or have made replacement or modified parts for their own equipment, airlines, FAR 122, 135 and part 91 and 137 can and do this in order to maintain their own equipment!

Weather radar radome for C-210 and 337

 

[pfarber]

Have they been fire tested? I can't see these going inside a cabin without meeting FAA burn testing criteria.

At annual, if there is any question, the IA will have final say on your OPP parts and if he wants to sign off an Airframe with them. He may never see them, or it may be the first thing they check for. Be ready to take the risk.

We have resumed production of glazing for the C-172, Socata Rally, Yak-52, Zlin-42/43, Al-60 Aeromacchi Lockheed.

 

[meglin]

Here are some samples. The material used is PLEXIGLAS® Cast Acrylic, thickness 3.4.5 mm. Unfortunately, glass production has been temporarily suspended for the time being.

The 172M airplane is getting younger before our eyes!

We continue to ship high-strength structural epoxy fiberglass parts for older Cessna aircraft. If you want your plastic parts to remain unaffected by heat and cold, not crumble in the sun, not absorb moisture, and last as long as the aircraft itself, then your choice is obvious. Contact us! Delivery time has now been reduced to 7 days! Nova Poshta works great.

The problem with battery boxes has finally been solved.
The new boxes are designed to replace the old fragile thermoformed ABS battery boxes, which fall apart when the battery is removed.
Incredibly light, strong, and durable.
There are also containers for the C-177 and C-182 aircraft.
The boxes and lids are suitable for Concorde or Gill batteries.

Very good example of why these parts can't be used on a US certified aircraft.

Despite the well-known challenges, we have obtained a fire resistance certificate for our components.

 

[meglin]

We have begun manufacturing door panels for the C-150/152. The new panels will be durable, lightweight, and resistant to impact, extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV rays. Now they won’t crack at the slightest knock or jolt, won’t warp, and won’t give off a nasty smell in the sun.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything for a 1959 Cessna 150. The parts we have on hand are not suitable for this year.
