New! Oil Access Door for Cessna Aircraft
Improved to better match the contour of the cowl

McFarlane has obtained FAA-PMA approval to manufacture the oil access door for many Cessna 180, 182, 185 and 210 aircraft. These hard-to-find doors are now available and also more affordable! Replaces Cessna P/N 0752000-56.

For ordering information, go to Oil Doors.

New! King Air Fuel Drain Valve
Improved, repairable valve for thousands less than Beech!

• Improved seal design provides a long life reliable valve.

• Approved for models C90, C90A, C90GTi, C90GT, E90 and F90

PROP GUARD Anti-Abrasion Boots are back!

McFarlane now owns the STC and has FAA-PMA approval for this great product that has saved aircraft owners countless dollars in propeller maintenance. A small number of kits are in stock now, with more expected next week. Place your order now!

Anti-abrasion boot for your metal propeller
It is more economical to protect your propeller blades with PROP GUARD than to continually file, dress, paint and balance your blades until they have to be replaced. Water, sand, rock, and airborne abrasives are constantly eroding your propeller. As the name suggests, this product can eliminate this destructive process. Virtually all propeller blade failures start as leading edge nicks.

For more information, see Part Number FP1001 for two blades or Part Number CS1002 for three blades.

New! Door Cables for Beechcraft, Cessna & Piper Aircraft

• Unique pre-formed stainless steel aircraft cable

New! Curtis Superior Valves

Cowl Saver Baffle Seals - Customized Flexibility

FAA-PMA Control Wheel Universal Joints for Early Model Piper Aircraft
Save $$$ - Replace worn out universal joints for a fraction of the OEM price!

Newly approved control wheel universal joint CA62834-000 is now available at about 50% less than current OEM pricing. Manufactured by PMA Products, Inc., these high quality universal joints offer an affordable way to replace OEM P/N 62834-000, which is eligible for many early Piper PA28 and PA32 series aircraft.

AD 2010-15-10 requires inspection of the connection between the control yoke and universal joint and the shaft on the forward (engine) end of the joint. This inspection is a convenient time to replace worn out u-joints. McFarlane has created kits including the CA62834-802 and CA62834-000 u-joints, shaft, taper pins, taper reamer, drill bit and other hardware to help comply with AD 2010-15-10 and Piper Service Bulletin 1197D.

Convenient tools:

• Taper pin removal tool quickly and safely removes stuck pins
• Piper witness hole drill fixture tool saves time and avoids disassembly of u-joint and shaft.

For more information, go to Universal Joints.

U-joint kits also available for Cessna aircraft.
