Hello Folks,
who has a digitrak and a Garmin 196 hooked up and can use the flightplan
feature?
I've configured both according the guidelines of TruTrak, I get the bearing
info of the GPS, but never an activated flightplan shows up with the -F-
symbol on the digitrak.
Any advice much appreciated

I have the same equipment, and believe it's functioning corrrectly --
but I'm not flying yet. I think I recall seeing in the documentaiton
that you have to be in motion for the nav/flightplan stuff to work.
Check the docs on their website. They have 196 specific directions.

Larry,
I did as their directions say, but it's not working =(;o((
And my plane is flying, just not according to the activated flightplan, just
GPS bearings.

| Subject: | More electric trim stuff.... |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Bob G" <rpgross@bellsouth.net>
Fellow electron people/aviators,
I built an electronic trim system/altitude hold in my Rocket and it continues to
work well. My buddy is also building an F1 Rocket and prompted me to build him
a similar system. Why mention this here? Because many of the points mentioned
recently have been addressed.
In short, this tiny box accepts two sets of trim buttons, provides two trim motor
speeds via PWM (pulse width modulation), gives limited runaway trim protection
and replaces mechanical relays with highly reliable solid state components.
It also uses logic to give the pilots trim buttons priority while ignoring the
other buttons. The pilot may also disable the other guys buttons anytime via
push button.
More entertainment is available here...
http://www.f1-rocketboy.com/tcm.html
As this is still in development, your opinions are gladly accepted! (next years
model will have pitot static sense ports for true variable speed trim)
Warmest Regards,
Bob Gross

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Bobby Hester <bhester@hopkinsville.net>
I just got back form the AeroElectric Seminar in Nashville. Before I
went I was doing a search for the Buss Blade Type Fuseblocks that are
used in Bob's wiring systems. I found the exact same fuseblocks on this
website: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/ they have the best prices I
have found. I just ordered 1 of each 6,10,20. Bob asked me to let
everybody know, so there you go!
Someone brought a catalog of electrical supplies that Bob really liked
also. I went to there website http://www.waytekwire.com/ and tried to
request a catalog but got an error so I'll call them Monday and request one.
Really good seminar, good information, and I won a BNC crimping tool :-)

I've bought from Pegasus for years. Always great service, fast delivery,
reasonably low prices - I can sometimes find better prices, but never by
much. A good vendor to deal with, I keep going back.

Actually it does if you go high enough. But then the least of your
troubles would be ignition failures.
Planes do not fly well in a vacuum, nor do engines operate well :-) .
So, for all practical purposes you are correct.

The comments below are all correct. However, if you want the el-cheapo
fans to work for long, make sure you get the ones with ball bearings
rather than sleeve bearings.

| Subject: | short Vans master relay stud length, again... |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: czechsix@juno.com
Guys,
I know this has come up before...I've got the Vans master relay with the
oh-so-short little studs which will barely hold a single terminal let
alone the multiple ones that I need (battery lead, e-bus feed, Lightspeed
#1, and aux battery feed).
Before I toss it in the useless parts bin and order a manly B&C relay on
Viagra with a stud size worthy of my 21st Century electrical system, I'm
just curious as to why I can't stack the aformentioned terminals directly
on the + battery terminal? Seems I recall hearing somewhere that this is
bad practice, but can't think of how the physics of the connection would
be any different (i.e. less convenient or less secure) this way as
opposed to attaching them all to the master relay stud. But I don't have
my battery yet (planning Odyssey PC680) so I'm not sure if there are
issues I'm unaware of....
Thanks,

I think its a matter of convenience... During the life of the
airplane, you will have to disconnect the battery many times. If
the battery lug has a bunch of stacked connecters, you have to
wrestle with all of the each time you disconnect the battery. If
they are attached to the contactor stud, they can remain in place.

out of curiosity why 2 computers and also what 2 computers specifically, you may
be making a reliable system (the factory ECU) less reliable by replacing it
with 2 aftermarket systems, and how are you going to deal with the fact that there
are only one spark plug per cylinder?

Bob,
What Z diagram would you recomend taking a look at for
the following:
Subaru engine
4 coils (1 per cyl)
4 injectors (1 per cyl)
2 computers
2 batteries
1 alternator
I'm thinking it would be nice to have a main bus,
essential bus (backup), overvoltage protection, and
the ability to tie the batteries together for a "self
jump".
I'm also thinking that feeding the injector and coil
12 volt feeds from both bus's would be a good idea.
Switching the ground leads via a relay board.
If this has been discussed please point me to an
approximate date and I will try the archives.
Thanks
Ken Bauman
