My FSDO (DFW) has already approved the test area, but Im way behind on the build (Life pressures). I did in deed use a DAR, but mistyped the DER, sorry. BTW, I found the link to Kyles FB video if anyone is interested. https://fb.watch/hId45NzCBa/

Good points, but lets dig just a bit deeper, there is nothing I have or can find that would “detail” the original switches that we installed, they could have been from a automobile or tractor for all I know so how would I even know the original specs? There is nothing in the TDCS, POH, equipment...

I will work with an AI for the agreement. As to the Old aircraft, that is not the look Im going for, think more Legend/CubCrafters, an update and mix of old and new

I too would like to know more details about that transition from CAR3 to 14CFR23. My 1946 Stinson 108-1 is STILL CAR3 certified as per the CoA and POH. Also there is NO WAY, that Stinson could ever meet Part 23 standards.

Well a a little bit of a tangent from my post in the Avionics forum but replacing things like old automobile switches with new type switches that are being used in Experimental and they do have MIL spec. CAR3 simply states they must work! The new ones are NOT FAA/PMA approved, but in my mind...

My Stinson has wood floorboards that are covered in Varnish. It’s a CAR3 aircraft. Not sure how that fits in the whole “Fire Reg” thing.

Does anyone have a NEW link to this document? New FAA system broke the link. TIA

My 1946 Stinson 108-1 was and still is certified under CAR3. This aircraft was never and could not be certified under Part 23 as it doesn’t meet part 23 standards. Im so frustrated by the BOX the FAA has created around vintage aircraft and general aviation as a whole. There are FEW...

Yeah there was nothing left on the fuselage when I got the plane, so replacing with new is the only path from here. I am and A&P, but have not rebuilt a complete electrical system so I was trying to do the right thing and reach out to others that are smarter than I in this field. I think I have...

Im rebuilding a 1946 Stinson 108-1. I have the original wiring diagram (IMAGE) from the 12 page operating handbook from 1946, but as you can imagine the whole panel was trash and the fuselage wiring was old as well. I want to completely replace with new, all the wiring and need some help with...

Jim, Exactly which TSO applies to a Bulb?

This is a very good discussion even though this thread has been dormant for a while. I'm having to build a new panel from scratch due to a ground up rebuild and the gauges in the panel were from 1946 in a Stinson 108. This aircraft was and still is a CAR3 certified aircraft. If I look at the...

Well on my phone it finally accepted two out of three

I tried but when I select the album, and select the pics, apple doesnt give me an option to select the size. Is it the forum software that provides that?

Well this sucks, I even did the screen shot and I get a error about file size. I'm using an iPad. I want to share some pics with yall

Yes I have the aircraft at Airpark East

Thanks PaulS, I have been trying to upload a pic, but the forum software is stating that the size is too big, I would have figured that the software would auto size the pic, but I guess not.

Timbeck2, I'm sorry I do not. I'm based in Dallas and manage the EFB program while flying. Thanks GMascelli, I have to have 5 posts before I can post a URL to my restoration Blog. Any other Stinson owners here?

Hello from Rockwall Texas, just east of Dallas. I'm Will, a Capt for Southwest, A&P, CFII and rebuilding a 1946 Stinson 108-1.
