Evening Aviators!! Hope you have had a Great Week so far!
I had the pleasure of getting in the Ford Tri Motor this past weekend to check out the instruments used and yes they are antiques!! Told the pilot and mechanic I would repair them for cost of parts if needed. Gave them a business card and they said they would be in touch!

I will not be in the office on Monday, 05/21 but will be the rest of the week. Looking forward to Memorial Day Weekend and relaxing. I've been working my ole butt off to get things done so I can enjoy it but I have made some promises I will do my best to keep for customers. Long term projects with multiple instruments to repair/overhaul and just haven't had time to get to most of them because of mail in or walk in stuff. Seems like there is not enough hours in a day. I'll "Get're Done" as Larry the Cable Guy says!
Of course we will be closed on 05/28 in remembrance of all our Fallen Soldiers and Airmen from the past and may they ALL Rest in Heavenly Peace!
God Bless America!!

Good Morning Aviators and hope all is well with all of you!
Well, Summer is upon us and we hope you get to enjoy good weather and lots of time in the air!!

Things are moving along here for me and been busy which is a good thing!! We are finally nailing down the move down to the avionics shop and hope to get that done in the next thirty days.
If you don't know where the avionics shop is, it's at the end of 23 or approach end of 05 in hanger 18. I will be located in the small hanger next to them and it will make it better for me and also help them out being right next to them. We'll keep you informed on the finish as I still have to lay it out for my FAA Inspector to approve the move.

Hope everyone has a Great Summer and Happy Landings until next time I get off this ole butt and make another post, LOL!

Will be in and out of the shop until next week but will answer the phone anytime. Just relaxing after these kidney stones. Thanks for understanding!

03/29/2018

Morning everyone! I will be out until Tuesday as I need to finish these meds up and get this ole body back to normal. Little R&R and then back to hit it with gusto.
Text or call me if you need anything.

Update on this ole man's lil problem.
So far I have passed three kidney stones and I go back to the Doc in the morning for tests for the infection. The drug he gave me must be powerful as it makes me very drowsy but they seem to be working, I hope. Next will be a CT to scan for any kidney damage, if any.(keeping fingers crossed on this one)
Anyway, was at the shop for about 6 hours today and got to the point to where I was making some simple mistakes so I gave it up and went home.
I should be back to normal very soon but if you need anything, I'm available via a phone call or come by the shop before noon for the next 5 to 7 days.
Coming soon will be an announcement about shop and the move to avionics.

03/15/2018

Morning Gang! I will be in and out of the shop for the next few days as I have been very sick with something. I'm going to doc this morning to see if they can figure out what it is and get some meds to get me back to somewhat normal.
If you need anything go ahead and call as I will have my phone on 24/7
Thanks y'all and will let you know when I'm better!

Afternoon Aviators and I hope you have your boats handy as we may need them after all the rain we are having! Not much flying going on, that's for sure!

As of right now, we will be closed March 2 and again March 5 as I need a few days to just relax as I have been at it for 6 days a week now for the past 8 weeks. I will be available if you need to ask anything or if you want to schedule something in for repair so give me a call as I will answer and help.

I am still kicking the idea around of moving down to my local avionics shop and discussions are on going and we're getting closer to a decision. I will let you know what and when if it takes place.

On a side note, I did get my indicator back from Metro Aircraft Instruments that was "hostage" since their shut down and hope to get my customer's customer back in the air very soon. It's really out of my hands right now but my customer is keeping me up to date!

Anything anyone might need, just give me a call and until them,
BLUE SKIES!!

I'd like to pass along some info I found out today about one of the well known Instrument Shops I occasionally use for thing I don't have capabilities on.

Metro Aircraft Instruments has been "Temporary Closed" and as of today I don't know if they will reopen or not.
I've had an indicator there since 12/12/17 for an STC Mod and as of today I have no idea if I will get it back or not. Nobody from Metro called or sent me an email stating they were closing and the indicator I have there is the ONLY thing holding up delivery of an aircraft at one of my customers. Needless to say, they are livid and their customer is going out of his mind! Hope to know more on Friday about getting my indicator back!

If you have something that needs work, please call me and if I can't work on it, I will give you a place to send it.

Blue Skies and Happy Landings!

Morning Aviators and it's been a few days since the last post. I apologize for not keeping up to date but been fairly busy over the past few weeks. Gyros have been the biggest thing I have been doing as the cold weather has kicked their asses, not starting, rotors failing and not erecting. Lots of parts having to be purchased for them but most of them are now back to customer. I'm here this morning finishing two more for one of my long time customers in Searcy, Arkansas.

Hope all has been well with everyone and between the bad weather(cold and ice) you have gotten a few hours in the air.
Hope all has been working in your aircraft and if you have any problems I hope you get in touch.

No plans on being out of the shop for a while but one can never say never!

Take Care and Blue Skies!!

As we move into Christmas and the New Year, Susie and I want to wish ALL our friends of SAS Instruments a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year 2018!! It's been a good year for us and we Thank each of you for all the support you have shown!

Our holiday schedule is going to be a little different this year as we will be Closed from Dec 25 to Jan 2. Not much goes on during this time and I won't be getting any rest as I have to finish my two special projects up and also a project on a friend's T28 in Switzerland. I will be in shop during the week but I must finish these things as I have not had much time to work on them over the past two months due to instruments sent in for repairs.

If something is AOG and you need it ASAP, call by all means and I will work it in during this time and get you back in the air!!

Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Morning Folks!! Hope all is well in your part of the aviation world!

I'm sure some might have a question or two about instruments and if you do, please post them here or give me a call and I'll be glad to help if I can!

Things are fairly busy in my ole world and I'm keeping busy with the Special Projects for restorations projects and looking to get them finished in the next week. Let me say some of the old instruments have really been a challenge but as one of the "Old" techs still doing these ole instruments, I'll "Get're Done".

Hope everyone has a Great Day and the weather clears up some so you can get some air time!!
