BIG LAKE, ALASKA — On the heels of its announcement of FAA PMA approval for the engine baffles for Cessna C177B models (1973-1974), Airforms now reports it has received FAA PMA approval for the baffles for the C177RGIIs.
The baffles from the new C177RGII kit are eligible for installation on serial numbers 177RG0419, and 177RG0593 through 177RG1366.
The newly approved baffles expand Airforms’ engine baffle product line to more than 60 applicable aircraft models.
“We have continued to expand our coverage on Cessna Aircraft applications, and the baffle set for the Cardinal RGII was the next logical step,” said Steve Hunter, sales and marketing executive. “We work directly with our customers to hone an understanding of where we can best support the aging fleet. All of the parts in our most recent Cardinal baffle releases are designed for longer life and increased serviceability, and we are pleased to offer customers a price point near 50% off OEM list.”
Airforms baffles are available with either a bare metal or durable powder coat finish. The baffles incorporate design reinforcements with longer lasting materials, and feature reinforced Hi-Temp silicone seals fastened to the metal baffles with rivets, company officials noted.
All baffles are FAA approved replacements for the original Cessna parts, and are individually interchangeable.
