I need a pull cable for the engine lid. Can I use a bicycle shifter cable. Or what did you use?

Seems a choke cable would work. Already has a handle.
Guess I should have installed one huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

You need a cable with the threaded end for the knob.

Many use the front trunk latch release cable which is available from several online sources. It will need to be cut down. That said, I found a good used cable on eBay and ended with a spare engine lid latch for $30.00.

Isn't this it?
http://shop.914rubber.com/914-Rear-deck-li...m?categoryId=-1 And a new knob: http://shop.914rubber.com/pull-for-deck-li...elrin-914CP.htm When I was flying Tigers, every time someone in the Grumman community would ask "where do I get a..." I'd reply "Try Fletchair first." Now any time someone in the 914 community asks "where can I get a..." I reply "Try 914Rubber.com first." |

I need the one for the engine lid. Was that the "A" or "B" model? I've flown the Cheetah. Handles great and was very forgiving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Tiger is the AA5-B, Cheetah was the AA5-A. Traveler, AA5... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Most excellent airplanes. I have over 1400 hours in those, mostly in the Tiger. Flew N81140 from coast to coast, really miss having it.
You SURE that's for the rear trunk? 914s do not have a remote trunk release from the factory. The only cars that got a rear TRUNK (not lid) release was those that installed the aftermarket center "PORSCHE" lens. Send a note to Mark (or maybe he's lurking and will reply). I'm guessing that's the engine "rear deck lid" release cable. |

The Tiger ws the 0-360, right. Pretty sure that Cheetah had the 0-320. Yup! Traveler has the O-320, too. All three fixed-pitch. Excellent airplanes, I'd flight-plan 130knots true at 10.5gph, never missed the prop knob. I used a 911 cable that came in a parts buy and did this: I like that. |

I had an AA5B was also a designated PFP for the Yankee assoc. How long ago, Mark? I've been flying Grummans since around '95, was an AYA member from around that time. Surprised we never met prior to the 914 community (or maybe we did...) QUOTE Small world and yes we got the cable, the pull knob, even the base. "Where can I get a..." "Try 914Rubber.com first." |

Along the hijack airplane lines...the local fbo had a Yankee clipper rental. Oh with those short wings many people got a checkout and it wasn't but a few hours before they nearly scared themselves to death. Ask me how I know.

Oh with those short wings many people got a checkout and it wasn't but a few hours before they nearly scared themselves to death. Ask me how I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It wasn't so much the short wings. The original Jim Bede-designed American Aviation AA-1 Yankee had a mostly-asymmetrical airfoil that gave it a lot of speed (they're great platforms for a speedy O-320 conversion) but were not very forgiving in low speeds and high angle of attack. You could get one of those too slow in the pattern and find yourself with a hellacious sink rate, or worse, stalled and upside down in the pattern, with only 115 hp to help get you out of it. They also developed a reputation for getting into an unrecoverable flat spin. I've got some hours in one of those and they really do require a deft touch and a lot of empathy to fly right. The subsequent AA-1A/B/C variants (Trainer, T-Cat, Lynx, etc) used a flat-bottom NACA airfoil that was much more tolerant and far more gradual before giving up. It made for better trainers, and although slower, were good airplanes. In fact, that same airfoil was carried forward on the -5 models (Traveler, Cheetah, Tiger) which were nothing more than one extra wing section added to the end of the -1 wing. NASA later used the very first production AA-1 (S/N AA10001) to do a lot of general aviation spin tests, finding ways to engineer into the airplanes to make them more spin-tolerant. As part of the testing they beefed up rear structure and added a tail-mounted spin chute. That very airplane is hanging from the ceiling of the Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton VA...
