Important: I need Rockwell 1121 Parts and/or Service manual
« on: November 15, 2023, 03:50:48 pm »
Hello All,

I found this forum on a referral. Long story short-I may have found a crashed Rockwell 1121 and I need a Parts manual for further ID. Service manual as well if available. Site is a mess as expected and I do not have all of the site-more to be found.

FAA information about the plane in question has differing info-in one place it's a Jet Commander and another and Aero Commander. I see no material difference as it pertains to my purposes-identification. No N-number found yet.

Can anyone help me get any manual for the Rockwell 1121? It's important. I cannot post too much about this find at the moment but will post lots more once I nail down what I have.

Thank you in advance.

I have the flight manual and training manuals for the 1121, but not the maintenance manual. What, specifically, do you want to know?

Unfortunately, I won't be able to access my 1121 manuals until next week, but I could scan a page or two.

Given your screen name, I'm assuming it's under water? The differences between an 1121 and any other Commander would be pretty obvious, starting with the fact that the 1121 is a jet, so if it has props, it's not an 1121... and the 1121 is mid-wing, the others are all high wing. And the engines on the 1121 are located at the back of the airplane.

I post some images that may help. One that makes me wonder is of a pulley & cable affair. I say this because I assume-perhaps incorrectly-that a 1121 would likely use hydraulics and/or electric motors to move something. Just my theory.

The stenciling says something about "Shear Pin".

The piece with the seatbelt-like strapping also has me wondering.

Any help appreciated. Once we have nailed down what we have I will post alot more detail here.

Thank you.

2 more. I tried 4 at once but it didn't go.

Hard for me to tell from those pictures. The stencilling looks military to me-- I don't recall anything like that on either the 1121 or normal Commanders of that era. The most obvious clue would be to look for props.

Yes we will look for the obvious and not-so-obvious as we continue to film this 1st debris field and then the 2nd debris field. So far no bell ringers like a prop, jet engine, nose with windshield, N-Number etc., except for one piece of wing.

Does anyone have any idea what, in the 4th image down, is the deal with the nylon, seat-belt-like straps on the end of what looks like a cylindrical housing of sorts?

I used my mouse to enlarge the images.

Thanks.
