Looks like you might be OK up to 13,000 ft or so, but there are no
guarantees."
Cheers,
I haven't checked all references for content, but note that some
know the airliners and some corporate aircraft are pressurized. As a guide
for those not so familiar, you can count on most airliners to be pressurized
to about 8psi which in general produces a cabin altitude of about 8500 feet.
Those going to trek to Macchu Picchu should note that they are
at "mountain altitude" while riding airliners to Peru......

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "David Swartzendruber" <dswartzendruber@earthlink.net>
A friend of mine is building a Thorp T-211 and has picked up an ARC
RT-459A transponder cheap, (that means free). Unfortunately, it did not
include a tray. If anyone has a tray that would work with this
transponder, and would be willing to part with it for a reasonable cost,
please contact me. Thanks.

List
Is there a way to trouble shoot my Aero flash strobe? I replaced the flash
tube and it worked for a day. I swapped flash tubes and they both work on the
other side. I will have to open the wing or install access panels to get to the
power supply. I just want to make sure there isn't something I should check
before opening the wing.
Thanks

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" <pat_hatch@msn.com>
I would appreciate hearing from anyone using the SafetyCell adapter for talking on a cell phone through your intercom/headset in the airplane. Specifically, would you recommend the standard or the amplified version? Also, they said you can plug the adapter into a tape recorder and record your intercom output in flight. Has anyone tried doing this with a video camcorder to see if this works. When I asked they said they had never heard of anyone actually doing this but thought that it would probably work OK. For anyone interested their web site is www.pilotsupport.com.

Bob,
I got this from Sam Hoskins. He was trying to answer a question for me and
contacted you
Here is your reply.
How about this. An ol' junker of a Dos machine with
Win3.11 will run Intellicad or AutoCADLTv1.0 and probably
a number of other freebe AutoCAD compatible programs.
You can probably put together a Dos system complete with
software cheaper than you can buy software that will
run on the Mac . . . Boeing surplus here in Wichita
is selling 133 Mhz CPU's with Win95 on them for $60.
These would make an excellent CAD machine for doing your
drawings. Check around for used/surplus computer stores
or on Ebay . . . you can do this dirt cheap.
Bob . . .
My question to you is, where can I find the software mentioned above?
I have an old lap top running Windows 3.1. All I need is the program to run
on it.
Thanks

| Subject: | Columbia 350 electrical system |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Dan O'Brien" <danobrien@cox.net>
Lancair has put the information manual for its dual-electric Columbia 350
up on its website. I put a copy of the schematic for the electrical system
at http://members.cox.net/dansweb/350_schematic.pdf (the complete manual is
at http://www.lancair.com/files/downloads/350_INFO.PDF).
Natural questions relate to how and why their architecture differs from
Bob's Z-14. I notice three main differences: 1) There is a separate
avionics bus that offers "secondary protection of delicate avionics
equipment when the engine is started); 2) there is an essential bus fed
from both the left and right buses; and 3) one of the gps/nav/coms is fed
directly from one of the batteries through a switch. Anyone have any
comments about the rationale/benefits/costs of this architecture?

Boeing is getting to someone. I saw a PII 450 with 128 megs and a 10 GB hard
disk plus other goodies go on eBay for $35.00. I did pay $!70.00 (including
freight) for a Calcomp plotter to output drawings. I had to build aWindows
98 machine to use it TYhat is the latest operating system for which a
Calcomp plotter driver is available. a blue line machine cost $50.00 plus
the shipping. AutoCAD14... if you pay $25.00 thats too much.
