Man, you really blew my cover. Fortunately, there's a guard tower
overlooking my plane and the near-by machine gun nests, so anyone thinking
of stocking up on new avionics had better.........bring a cart. I'd hate to
see any of my nice radios dropped on the tarmac as you furtively scurry
about the ramp. For any low-life that would steal my radios, know that
there is a Greater Justice, and they will rot-in-hell---though while there,
they will not get lost, they can download weather (forecast; HOT) and will
always be in direct communications with Center.
Thanks for all the ideas.

Has anyone tried PocketFMS (www.pocketfms.com) ?
It looks like a *great* idea. Provide a very low cost moving map software package
and then have a community of users that continually update it with local waypoints
and airport info. Just what the owner-built community needs.
If enough people contributed maybe we could get the developers to create artificial
horizon (GPS based only) shareware too.
Also, I've heard that the Tungsten T3 palm is the best out there for daylight viewing
and screen size. Can anyone that owns one of these concur?

Why would you want a Palm at all for this software? According to
their web site:
"There is no support for Palm or MIPS, nor will there be."
I sure like my Palm Tungsten C - but it won't work with this software.

Can someone give me a steer to a terminal block or strip that uses fast on tabs.
Can't find it at B&C, Mouser or Digikey.

The neatest and easiest FM antenna I have seen was on Razzmatazz, an
award winning RV-6A out of Tampa, FL. The builder used a rubber ducky
antenna mounted low on the forward right side of the firewall and
extending horizontally into the engine compartment. As I remember, he
had a panel mounted AM/FM/CD radio. The pilot reported he got great AM
and FM reception.

Not sure what you are asking for? Do you mean like the standard
terminal/barrier blocks that traditionally use screws? If so, you can
get adapters for those that just screw down and which have Faston tabs.
Both Mouser and Digikey have the adapters with the terminal strips.
For example look at pg 185 of the latest Digikey catalog (or look up
A0138-ND on their web site).
Additionally, McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) also has them.
As far as I know no one makes a terminal block that only consists of
faston connections (but I could be wrong).
If this is not want you are referring to, please be more specific in
your description.

Jim,
B & C does have the tabs, in 12 pair strips (they solder them to flat brass
to make their ground terminal strips). Though not listed in their catalog, I
bought some of these a while back at $5 per. You need to request them
directly. They can also be shortened to any number of tabs you want.
They are not insulated, so you will have to do that. I used a piece of 1/4"
thick high density polypropylene plastic. Drilled holes where the tabs were
going to go (tab strips had 1/8" holes in them already) then used a piloted
drill bit to countersink the hole in the plastic about 1/16" on the side opposite
where the tabs would reside (a pop rivet from the plastic side into the strip
holds it in place).
But before securing the tabs, you need to locate and drill your holes for
securing the platic to you metal or fiberglass mounting plate. If you pop rivet
through the metal sheet into the plastic strip, you may need to use a washer
to keep from pulling the pop rivet through the plastic.

Depends on your use. The B&C ones are great for ground ... but I needed
strips for the power side at the wing roots. I used strips from Electronic
Supply in Kansas City http://eskc.com . These are really cool in that they
are a build it yourself tab. You pick the number of connections you need
and then you can stack the tabs on top of each other under a central screw
to make the connection. One tab on one side for the input and three on the
other for an output etc.

You remember the song:

Ain't she a beautiful sight.
Rubber ducky antenna was used by one of those guys.

Thanks for your input guys. I don't want to spend time building the strips
so I'm thinking the B&C one is out. I do have the ground block for the
firewall but need the strips for mostly positive connections. I didn't know
that you have to order the standard strip (with screws) and then order the
tab as an accessory. So, that tidbit helps a lot.
Thanks again.
Jim

Chuck, I've put an alarm system in my Glasair. I bought a standard auto
system. I hooked up two sensors: a shock sensor, which chirps if the
airplane is bumped and sets off the siren if it is hit, and a door open
sensor. My door open sensor is a circuit connected through the latches on
the two doors; if either door is unlatched, it goes off, and turns on the
siren. I also use it as a cockpit annunciator... with my airplane, an open
door during flight is a disaster. The system comes with a relay that could
also drive the landing lights, but I didn't bother with that.
I turn it on when I leave the airplane in the hangar for just the reason you
mention... I don't want to lose my avionics. Let the crooks go next door
where there is no alarm.
Just go to your local auto aftermarket store and pick up a reasonably priced
alarm system.
