Service bulletins to verify
SB-01-12-23-1 Rev A (all serials): elevator idler bracket fatigue cracks; inspect within 10 hrs, every 25 hrs until 100 hrs, then annually. SB-R7-07-01-24-1 (serials 10196-10228): non-conforming nose gear side brace tubes; hardness test, replace the weldment if it fails. SB-05-06-19-1 (serials 10131-10145): fuel pressure sensor set as 50 PSI, installed sensor is 15 PSI.
Engine limits and run-up
Tach green arc is 900 to 2750 RPM. Cylinder head temperature redline is 445°F and oil temperature redline is 240°F. Minimum oil pressure at idle is 10 PSI. At 1700 RPM, magneto drop must not exceed 150 RPM on either magneto, or 50 RPM between them. The engine has carb heat.
Preflight points for a buyer
The checklist covers a header tank plus left and right wing tanks, each with a sump to drain. Tire pressure is 25 PSI on the mains and 22 PSI on the nose. Check brake lines, axle nut cotter pins, nose gear fork and leg, rudder anti-servo tab free play (not more than 3 mm), and the ADS-B and ELT antennas.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- Engine fire in flight: fuel valve off, ignition off, glide at 63 KIAS, land immediately. Do not attempt to restart the engine.
- If fuel contamination persists after repeated sampling, do not fly. Qualified maintenance must drain and purge the tanks.
- Prolonged high oil, CHT and EGT temperatures cause engine damage. In hot weather use 85 KIAS cruise-climb.
