  • APIS Motorglider parts wanted

    From mike maskell@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 7 05:54:21 2023
    I am in search of a damaged APIS motorglider with the hope of obtaining the landing gear electrical extend/retract actuator. Requests and purchase from the factory in Europe have gone unfilled. Has anyone any knowledge of anything available in North
    America?
    Thanks
    Mike

    I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but maybe you can find something that would work.

    Plenty of options on ebay from a search of "electric actuator"...

    My previous post didn't stick......
    A decent designer gets an idea on what is needed, then looks at catalogs to find something "OTS" (off the shelf), especially for limited run things on a budget.
    Thus, any markings on the item should be searched online to find info and possible suppliers. Likely you can find that actuator somewhere.
    I do this for car parts, did for decades as a manufacturing mechanic.

    This is related to your current search for a sold damaged glider in FL.
