Hey Tom......would you please expound a little bit about your comment that "you can check your balance this way" ? trying to figure out what you meant. thanks Randy

Hi Ron, Thanks for the update. The information is very encouraging. It might be helpful for a lot of us as owners if the Factory was able to share an anticipated timeline. Surely they have priorities and general target dates....? Anyway, thank you for your personal involvement. I imagine that your t...

Thanks Tom....I was told by Lord today that number is a Brantly assigned number and not theirs. I got that same number out of the Brantly parts book but it doesn't work for Lord to research their parts. Not a big deal, just thought I could same myself a little bit of work. biggest problem for me is ...

That is most disappointing. Mr. Hardman was articulate and willing to communicate with others. I for one will miss his participation. Now we all really are ophans.

so that I don't have to take mine apart, does anyone have the Lord Damper Mfgrs part number which is physically on the damper? Not looking for the Brantly part number. its the -3 damper used with the 202 blades. thanks

Well Gee Whiz .....I sure do apologize for expressing some opinions on the site. And I apologize for responding to being told basically that I'm so stupid that I can't see something that was obviously right under my nose. Finding out that I'm not even vaguely familiar with my ship and that I'm makin...

Well.... seneca2e, (It would be nice to know your real name), you should re-read my note. At the risk of being redundant, I'll say it again... I didn't see those cracks without the aid of the 10x. My personal very close up vision isn't the best. I need reading glasses and the crack was buried, cover...

just FYI. When replacing the press fit hinge bearing on the blade, the maint. manual recommends that "hand tight" bearings be secured with LocTite. Loctite discontinued the Brantly recommended loctite products Type AA,15-1 adhesive and Locquic cleaner about a year ago. Replaced with produc...

Hi Bryan....I know that you "get it". I can tell by your posts. I just wanted to steer the discussions towards a positive attitude of attempting to obtain results. Hopefully those who read my comments will understand that. re: the mods to existing blades......seems like we could get hold o...

I've read through all of the posts following my note to Mr Hardman and have to say that I'm rather disappointed in their overall content. While one might be very distressed with the situation, it won't get any better with non factual discussions. and it certainly won't get any better without a cohes...

I would imagine that most, if not all, of the Brantly owners belong to AOPA. The Organization is always telling us what a great job they do representing aircraft owners, which I believe we qualify to be viewed as, even if we're beating the air into submission with rotary wings. Perhaps it would be b...

Hi Tom -
I have a complete parts manual for 2297U. (now 400CX).
If you forward your address to me, I'll be glad to send a complete copy to you.
Best of luck with your project.

Hi Ron - hope you're getting better. well, that explains a lot. no wonder everything looks so good. It's just the backlash tolerance that was out of whack. thanks for the info. I guess I should dig back into all of the old paperwork and look it over. I knew that someone had worked on it from the not...

everything inside of the housing looks brand spanking new. really pretty impressive when you consider the number of times they've turned 'round and 'round. both the oil pumps are in excellent shape also. even the oil was still very very clear. sorry for not using the proper terminology regarding the...
