Title: R390A Manual
Post by: KE5YTV on May 13, 2011, 03:27:54 PM
I need a repair manual for my Collins R390A. After looking around I see there are several choices. Can anyone recommend one over the other?

The Y2K manual.  There's a link here http://www.r-390a.net/faq-refs.htm

The Y2K manual says that it is to be used with the Army or Navy manuals or both.  ??? There are several different manuals out there. I was wondering if someone would recommend one as being better than the others?

TM 11-5820-358-35 Field and Depot Maintenance will provide excellent information.

The Y2K manual is in Rev 3 by now & I think there is talk on the R-390A e-mail reflector of more work on the same. Been using just the 2nd revision of Y2K for years, little else is needed! Scott Seickel's excellent "R-390A Gear Train Rebuild" is a must and should be printed out and added to rev2. Think it is in rev3.

Other than the Y2K, subscribe to the e-mail reflector for answers. Those that taught the mil classes are there to help.

Craig,

Hi Dale,

They're great. I've never received a shippment like the Thunderbolt !!! The driver left it on the poarch. Getting that box in the house was like trying to carry an anchor for an aircraft carrier.
