AeroConversions Resources
AeroConversions continually improves and monitors its prod-
ucts. It is in your best interest to stay abreast of these improve-
ments and implement them as needed.
AeroConversions Website
AeroConversions, Inc. maintains a website which is continu-
ously updated. Perhaps the most important part of the website
for an AeroVee builder/operator is the
Service Bulletin
sec-
tion. You are encouraged to periodically check for Service
Bulletins which may affect the performance of your AeroVee
engine.
The AeroConversion website is aeroconversions.com
AeroVee Internet Discussion Group
AeroConversions operates an internet discussion group which
is open to all owners and enthusiast of the AeroVee Engine
Kit. Joining this list will get you in touch with other engine
owners and is an additional form of mass-communication
between AeroConversions, Inc. and its customers.
Information on joining this list is located on the
AeroConversions website at aeroconversions.com.
AeroConversions Tech Support
AeroVee owners can receive individual tech support by email
or phone. We encourage you to contact us via email first, as
this allows us the opportunity to formulate a clear, concise
answer to your question.
The email address is [email protected]
AeroConversions' Service Bulletins
AeroConversions, Inc. is committed to providing quality
products. We do this through the constant improvement of
our AeroVee Engine Kit, and also by identifying parts or
procedures which we feel require the attention of the existing
AeroVee Engine Kit fleet.
When we identify parts or procedures which we feel require
the attention of AeroVee owners, we issue a Service Bulletin.
Required Service Bulletins
A Required Service Bulletin, as the name implies,
must
be
complied with. It may be a part or a procedure which we feel
must be corrected for the continued use of your engine.
Upon compliance of the Required Service Bulletin, an entry
must be made in your engine log book.
Required Service Bulletins are posted on the AeroConversions
website, announced on the AeroVee Internet Discussion
Group, and mailed to the address of record of each AeroVee
Engine Kit owner.
It is your responsibility to keep us informed
of any address or engine ownership changes, and to check the
AeroConversions website for Required Service Bulletins.
Optional Service Bulletins
An optional Service Bulletin is issue when we identify an area
which we feel will contribute significantly to the reliability/
longevity of the AeroVee engine. Optional Service Bulletins
need not be complied with but we
strongly
encourage all
AeroVee owners to implement the suggested change/upgrade.
Upon compliance of the Optional Service Bulletin, an entry
must be made in your engine log book.
Optional Service Bulletins are posted on the AeroConversions
website and announced on the AeroVee Internet Discussion
Group.
It is your responsibility to check the AeroConversions
website for Optional Service Bulletins.
Keep Your Packing Lists
The packing list provided with each AeroVee kit lists the
specific parts provided for that specific engine. Please refer-
ence your packing list for correct part numbers when ordering
maintenance and repair parts for your particular engine.
In addition to the packing list secured to the outside of the
engine kit boxes, a duplicate packing list has been attached to
the back of the physical manual supplied with that engine.
Copies of (most) packing lists are archived by Sonex Aircraft
and you may request an electronic (PDF) copy. To get a copy,
provide evidence you own the engine for which you are re-
questing the original packing list as well as the engine's serial
number.
Additional Resources
There are many books, magazines, and videos available for
the assembly, maintenance, and operation of "Type 1"-based
engines. We highly recommend "How to Rebuild Your
Volkswagen Air-Cooled Engine" by Tom Wilson (ISBN 978-
0-89586-225-9).
