Re - various comments about RC Allen electrics: The instrument shop from whom I bought the RC Allen Electrics said their overall experience with them has been very good. They do not field-repair them
The deal is between BMA and Lancair Avionics, not Lancair Aircraft. Can't tell --From Lancair's web site that it's an option on their certified aircraft. Of course, a web site which misspells "dual"
I noticed that too, but learned to always stir the tan stuff before use. Else you can also store the tan jug upside down periodically. I went through cumulatively 4 gallons of the stuff - old Europa
Fleck Stone is certainly more cost effective, but it does stain readily. Unless you cover it with enough of a required clear coat which does not stain; raw it smells like a latex, which we know from
Sure can but is most critical in the first few inches of a laminar flow airfoil. Not good either, and too dry also makes it solvent-sensitive to a solvent-based primer. But too wet and sanding become
It won't do any harm, but a big 1000uf/40V cap will not accomplish anything, since you have a real monster filter capacitor already in the form of the airplane's battery. However, National Semiconduc
Not my input ultimately, but National Semiconductor. ;-) The larger the cap the bigger the inductor, and they best filter 60Hz AC line hum. At high freqenies (alternator) and fast-rise spikes (Rotax
If you can post where the ambiguity lies, likely we can offer an educated guess. The terminology on the King side should be quite standard, so it's a matter of matching the obverse function on the i
Both EXPbus and aerolectric Bob diddle with the "C" line on the regulator. It therefore does something inside the regulator to disable it. I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money for a device
If you can properly construct an aluminum airframe, you can easily do fiberglass. The converse is not necessarily true. That's a by-product of the FAA certification process, and it's only the wing sp
Sounds normal. As I recall, the flag voltage for the RC Allen's AH is greater than for its DG too. Instrument shop lady told me normal at about 11.9V to unflag. The diode drop is the culprit. My alte
Just now thought you might substitute one side of a DPDT switch for the voltage-droppin' diode, who can go Tango Uniform before a rarely-flipped, quality switch ever will. Other side of DPDT is as as
I believe Rotax is sensing cooled oil -- not the hot stuff in the return line nor similar in the tank, and they set the redline temp premised upon the effect of mounting in the engine block where the
I agree we want guaranteed and/or redundant power supply to at least one 914 fuel pump, but I can't find actual data to class the reg as very poor, though. There are anecdotal reports, but FAA's Serv
I once tested a #20 fusible link, using Mil Spec aircraft wire. If you pass enough current through it, to shorten it's response time to that of a real circuit protection device at the low end of spec
Not really, just against Tefzel insulated wire as a fusible link verses what you should use, or in an application where only a 25-cent fuse is needed. Tefzel can explode violently. Just moments ago I
This subject has been periodically of interest, and while web browsing other EAA chapter sites for ideas to envigorate our EAA Chapter, I came upon an interesting item. Go to http://eaa127.tripod.com
