    NO CTIS Because Wet Tank Builds to only 70-75 psi

    Talked myself in the fix. Adjusted the governor up to about 128 psi. Right at about 123 psi the CTIS system came alive!! The system quickly brought up all 6 tires to the the wrecker's 80 psi. I still have to fix a leaking rear rim o-ring but the system held the leaking tire at 80 psi with no...

    NO CTIS Because Wet Tank Builds to only 70-75 psi

    I have had an inop CTIS system since I got the M936A2 a few months ago. Went through the troubleshooting guide in the TM's and found my problem. The wet tank is not building up to more than 70-75 psi. The wet tank never gets up to the CTIS's pressure switch's 85 or so psi so the CTIS...

    OH58 Kiowa Gets Loaded by a M936A2

    No that's not me. I don't remember anyone in the club that had a deuce or 5 ton marked with a star. Might have been here before I got here 14 years ago.

    OH58 Kiowa Gets Loaded by a M936A2

    That engine would make a great dynamic display. Very compact and light. It didn't have a stater/generator on it when the club got it or we would have put it on a stand our self and tried to start it. Turns freely. The helo was used for a maintenance trainer so all the engine to gearbox...

    OH58 Kiowa Gets Loaded by a M936A2

    It will never fly again. Should be restored to something better than concrete pad duty. At least now it will be inside.

    Here is a series of pictures that shows the comparison of two nice looking wreckers. M816 vs M936A2. Not a whole lot of difference until you look at them from the front.

    The Guard guys who loaded it up and delivered it said with all the missing parts mostly heavy radios it weighed about 1500 lbs. Lots of instruments missing also. It does have the turbine engine it. Had I should say, check out what the museum guys did in less than a half a day. Interior and...

    OH58 Kiowa Gets Loaded by a M936A2

    The thing weighed about 1500 lbs as it sat and didn't tax the wrecker at all. Also it was a straight aft lift. We discussed the stabilizers but waved them off.
