A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Has anyone made Yale Flap Handles and if so, did you make any extras to sell or trade? I am looking for the knob, arm and the bracket that retains the bearing. Thanks,

I'm curious to know how those differ from T-6 handles. Can they be modified? Got a photo to satisfy my curiosity?

The Yale does not have a hydraulic system. The handle is a crank handle (knob) that winds them down. All of the Yales that survived had been converted to a wireless trainer with no rear cockpit controls. The flap handle was replaced by a simple bushing. Unfortunately, my little project is also missing the bracket that holds the bearing, which is a cast piece. I can have them milled but before I do so, thought I would see if someone's already done it. I'll snap a picture of my front cockpit (it is installed) but it will be a while before I can send it to you.
