Stabilator Mod for Increased VNE

Postby Nick » Sun Sep 30, 2012 3:57 pm

At one time in the 70s Piper had a modification kit for the Stabilator so that the VNE could be increased back to the original 227 MPH CAS. The kit number was 760-747. Piper no longer makes it. (Or at least that is what I was told by a Piper parts distributor) Anyone know who makes/sells this now :?: I called Lopresti and they don't have anything along this line.

(P.S. - I already have the counter weight mod on the rudder that limits my VNE to 203 mph CAS).

LoPresti told me about 2 months ago, they would make some again if they got enough interest. I was put on a will call list. If you want, I can get you the email address of the guy at LoPresti who is keeping track.

Yes, please provide me the e-mail address. I talked with one of the Lopresi sales reps and he simply said they don't have it. Thx
