    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "David Swartzendruber" <dswartzendruber@earthlink.net> A DC-DC converter that would work well would be the Astron N2412-12. It is a 10A device, 12A surge, that gives a nice, clean 13.8V out. This is the same unit that Cessna is using in the new singles to provide a 12V accessory jack.

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Fiveonepw@aol.com Hi Bobby- That's just 'cause we all went last January! Nuckolls really packed 'em in last year and it was another of those "best $$$ spent on the plane" deals. Highly recommended. People had flown in from as far away as LA (lower Alabama) and Wisconsin. As an aside, our 1st day seminar was on February 1, and as we went on our first break that morning, Columbia was disintegrating over Texas. As sobering as this was, it was interesting to see how a roomful of aviation professionals and fans absorbed and dealt with the event. Bob handled it graciously and briefly, then continued to give us all our money's worth. If you go for no other reason than to experience his dedication to educating others, then that's reason enough. Hope you get a class arranged!

I did a Google search and found a price of $51. Dave, do you know how this critter will behave with a battery across the output? Is there a need to disconnect the battery from the converter if it's not powered up? I've been scratching on a Z-figure example of how this could be done and my sense is that a battery disconnect relay would be needed to float the battery completely free when the airplane is parked.

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "David Swartzendruber" <dswartzendruber@earthlink.net> Bob, I don't recall whether it was ever tested with a battery on it's output or not. I suspect that it would do fine when powered up but may put a small drain on the battery when turned off. Astron should have the answers. Their website lists their phone number as 949-458-7277 and email at eastron@astroncorp.com. They also have a 20A version that is only one inch longer and 2 lbs instead of 1.5 lbs. I'll ask the person I know that evaluated this unit and see what he can tell me. Dave " > ><dswartzendruber@earthlink.net> > > > >A DC-DC converter that would work well would be the Astron N2412-12.

    Subject: Re: Starter Help
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Jim Sower <canarder@frontiernet.net> The technology you are trying to control is from the 1920's. That's how Henry ran his Model-T. Your mags come at us untouched from the early 1930's. The price of a [rebuilt] mag will buy you a nice electronic unit (from Electroair in TN or Light Speed on the left coast) that drops right in the hole your mag occupies now. You start with 0 deg advance and go on to about 35 deg. You get much higher quality combustion, [credibly documented] up to 10% better fuel efficiency, [somewhat] better cruise speed, better static RPM. How long would it take with even a piddlin' 5% increase in fuel economy to save $800 or so? Not a bad trade IMO ... Jim S.

    Subject: Starter Help
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Fred Hollendorfer" <phredyh1@flica.net> Hey OC.... From your description about the starting situation with the TCM I wonder if you might not be able to do something like they did on some radial engines (i.e. R2800s) years ago. You had four switches that had to be operated with the left hand. 1) Thumb to operate the safety switch. 2) The middle finger to operate the starter. 3) (and this is the one that may come into play for you) the boost coil for the magnetos operated with the finger next to the pinky. 4) and finally the primer operated with the index finger. With out going into great detail on how to start this monster, the boost coil switch was used to give the mags a little extra fire in the start process while the blades were turning (after the mags were turned on). Once the engine caught all switches were released except the primer until the mixture was was moved to auto rich and ultimately to auto lean. My point here being that you might be able to use an extra (spring loaded, normally off)) switch to keep the starting vibrater alive a little longer in the start process. I would also offer a caveat that this is probably not what TCM had in mind here when they designed the system. I offer this info only because you may have a unique situation that I'm not familiar with. Good luck... Phoenix Phred Fred Hollendorfer Phoenix (on the road) http://members.tripod.com/phredyh0/

    Subject: Z-11 details
    From: geoffkim@pdq.net
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: geoffkim@pdq.net Bob, I am planning my system according to Z-11. However, I am planning to install electric Attitude indicator and DG on the e-bus (In addition to what z-11 shows). A couple of simple-minded questions. 1- How do I find the current requirements (what they really draw) for the items? (AH, DG, TC, Nav, Comm, Lights) I know they draw less power than the fuse numbers indicate. 2- I am thinking I may need to increase the size of the wire and the fuse which comes off the main battery bus through the alternate feed switch and to the e-bus. How do I make this determination? 3- Why not run the wire from the main bus to the alternator field (through the switch) through a fuse or breaker instead of a fuselink as shown in the drawing? Geoff Kimbrough Katy, Texas RV-8 PS - If any of you get the opportunity to attend one of Bob's seminars - it is well worth the time. GK

Does the starter draw current but simply insufficient torque to push past compression? If the prop doesn't move at all and the starter draws no current, then there's a temperature related open circuit that clears when it cools. If it's drawing current and simply delivering insufficient torque, then the starter is probably too small for the task. Has it always behaved this way or is it a new condition?

The crew chief on the AF birds had this duty, but as an old fighter pilot who was used to doing things by myself, I reserved engine starts for the aircraft commander. I had a lot of fun playing the piano with these switches, and I'd usually win any bet with the chief that I could start a hot one without any belches. Thanks for the memories! DO NOT ARCHIVE John

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: j1j2h3@juno.com If anyone needs a place to stay, send me an email off-line. I am located at 589 Ploughman's Bend Drive, Franklin, TN. This is about 20 miles south of Nashville, with easy access to I-65. I will be attending, so can also provide transportation from my house. I have room for 3 people or couples in separate bedrooms and 1 or 2 more on the sofa bed and couch in the great room (more if you're good friends). First come, first served.

    Subject: wiring Rotax 912S tach
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Joa Harrison <flyasuperseven@yahoo.com> Bob, Here's what Rans says regarding the wiring. What I need to know is if I use the triple shielded wire what do I do with the shielding portion to prevent ground loops and reduce noise? Do I only connect it to ground on one end (and which end is preferred- engine or instrument) or do I leave it completely ungrounded? Thanks. Joa For Rotax 912/912S engines Connect (+) terminal to switched 12V Connect (-) terminal to ground and a sender lead from engine Connect (2) or (S) to other sender lead from engine --------------------------------- Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now
