In the past we have sponsored many TMX Engine Assembly Workshops here at Mattituck Airport (21N) in New York. Many in the group have
requested to be kept informed of the date for the next one, so they
could make plans to attend.
We have scheduled the next workshop for Saturday January 17, 2009.
The plan would be to start the day of at 8:00 AM with a short coffee,
donut, pastry type breakfast with informal registration and
introductions. At 8:30 or so, we would start the class and continue
until lunch time when we will break for a sandwich, soda, chips type
lunch. After lunch we would continue the class until approximately
3:30-4:00 PM. At that time, there will be an optional tour of the
facility and test running of an engine in one of our two test cells.
Breakfast, lunch and any thing you need to participate will be
supplied by Teledyne Mattituck Services. All you need do, is let us
know ahead of time, that you are planning to attend and show up to
enjoy the class and tours. There will be no charge for any of the
activities or classes. At anytime during the day, we will be available
to informally discuss any engine related procedures, issues or
troubleshooting techniques that you may have questions about, in
addition to the formal engine assembly workshop which will incorporate
the actual assembly of a four cylinder TMX O-360. During the workshop,
we will be pointing out all of the benefits we incorporate into our
engines, as well as, everything you need to know about prepping an
engine for assembly and assembling a four cylinder Lycoming engine
correctly.
If your plans are such that you might want to stay overnight, either
before or after the workshop we would be happy to supply you with
local motel information and provide transportation to and from the
motel to the airport for the workshop. As well, if you might be flying
in commercially, for the occasion, the best airport to do that into is
Long Island Islip MacArthur Airport (ISP). Service is available from
Southwest and Delta. If you are arriving on Friday or departing late
Saturday or on Sunday, after the seminar, we would be able to provide
transportation to and from Islip. Or if you prefer you can rent a car
at Islip and provide your own transportation. It is about a 45 minute
drive from Islip to Mattituck.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to attend the workshop! If
you're planning to attend, we simply ask you to reply to this post,
off list, at my email address of mahlon_russell@teledyne.com ,
advising us your email address, full name and a daytime phone number
you can be reached at. We will take it from there. We will be limiting
the class to approximately 50 participants, so that every one who
attends has the opportunity to get the full benefit of the
instruction. I am sure that the allocated spots will fill up quickly,
so please get back to me as soon as possible to guarantee that you
will have the opportunity to attend.
Hope to be hearing from you soon!
Good Luck,
Mahlon Russell
