Pete was frustrated with factory parts for his Beechcraft Baron. What he found were parts that had not been engineered into better solutions when better solutions were obvious. In order to ensure that he did not use 'unapproved' parts on his aircraft, Pete set out to engineer those better solutions and get the necessary FAA approvals. Hence, SSV was created, and the inaugural parts are the Door Striker Plate, the Battery Drain Vent Fairing, and the Replacement Step, all for Bonanzas and Barons.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince that time, Michael Kobylik has taken over the leadership of SSV and, working together with Pete, began developing more parts for the FAA approval process and, ultimately, making them available to the aviation community. Currently, there are over ten parts working their way through the design and approval process. Many more parts are in the 'back-of-the-napkin' stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSSV, Inc. is committed to engineering better solutions to problems that can be found on many aircraft.

FAA‑PMA, STC‑approved stainless drain vent fairing that replaces the obsolete Beech ADF sense antenna mast. Low‑profile, drag‑reducing design uses existing screws and mounts; complies with Beech SB 53‑3450.
FAA‑PMA & STC approved replacement for Beechcraft Barons with legacy ADF mast installations.
Direct swap—installs with existing screws and mounting holes; no airframe mods required.
Low‑profile, aerodynamic fairing to help reduce drag and modernize appearance.
Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life.
Service Bulletin compliant: meets Beech Service Bulletin 53‑3450.
New and fully traceable unit supplied with documentation; one fairing per kit.
Replace the aging ADF sense antenna mast on your Beechcraft Baron with a durable, modern solution. The 002‑400001‑33 Drain Vent Fairing is engineered in stainless steel to withstand the elements while providing a low‑profile, drag‑reducing shape that cleans up airflow and updates the aircraft’s exterior. This FAA‑PMA component is STC‑approved for eligible Baron models and complies with Beech Service Bulletin 53‑3450. Installation is straightforward: the fairing reuses existing screws and mounting locations, eliminating the need for structural modifications or extra hardware. Delivered new and fully traceable, it’s an efficient way to modernize your airframe’s vent/fairing assembly while maintaining compliance and reliability. Keywords: Baron drain vent fairing, FAA PMA fairing, ADF mast replacement.

The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
