Hello 

 

I popped two seals on my Constant speed prop. 

 

Have not been able to get a response from the factory, any ideas on who may be able to help getting spares?

 

A passer by at the airport said he saw many LOM’s flying in Europe so it may just be a language problem

 

Keep well

Try http://www.aviapropeller.cz/index.htm they supply parts for the props. LOM have been very responsive recently, but they don’t support the props. 



I converted my LOM M332 AK to fixed pitch operation, so I have a CS prop, governor, nose case/seal assembly and plumbing available, but I don’t have any spare seals and it may not even be your model prop. It came off a Glasstar.

Not that I am contemplating it now but how big a job was it to convert to fixed pitch and why did you do it.Thanks for your help

Where will I be able to get spark plugs?

Keep well

It is very simple. Basically a 30 mm plug is installed in the nose of the crankshaft, the governor is removed along with its associated plumbing and that's it. My a/c is a 1930s Bücker Jungmann on which a CS prop would be out of place.

For spark plugs, use the NGK plugs as I have documented here: https://bucker.info/index.php/component/content/article?id=1625  Steve-- Stephen Beaver

The phrase comes from  from Jan van Eyck, a 15th century Renaissance artist who signed his paintings with the personal motto Als Ik Kan, which is taken from the Flemish saying “As I can, not as I would.” Steve-- Stephen Beaver
