Ferrell,

Those are what we call ‘clipped ailerons’. It was part of an AD that was not fully understood at the time. It makes the plane handle like a truck instead of a sports car. You will want to get a new set and replace those or find another plane. Since then we have SI 61-01 which allows the AD 79-22-04 to be cancelled if your ailerons meet the profile.

Again, the plane will not feel like a Grumman, it will be heavy on the aileron forces and fly like a piper. I looked at your profile and there was no phone number to call.

Ferrell,

Those replacement ailerons are $1,800 each, so that is $3,600 dollars for the two to change them out. The old ones have no value at all.

Holler if you need a set of ailerons. Install time is about 1 hour.

You read it right:

(d) If the modification in (c)(1) is accomplished, any autopilot system installed in the
aircraft
must be disconnected prior to further flight in a manner which will not permit use or reconnection during flight. Install a placard in full view of the pilot utilizing a minimum of 1⁄4 inch high letters with the wording

Cheers
