If any of you are curious, like I was, as to who Bob Nuckolls is and what he sounds like, and have yet to see him at a seminar or Oshkosh, I found this interview with him. Besides now knowing a little more about him (not the least what he sounds like ) it's very informative, as to his goals and experience. http://www.worldtalkradio.com/playlist.asp?SegmentID=13189 Harley Dixon ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:15:57 AM PST US From: "Robert L.

Parigoris" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Airmaster AC200 manual switch? --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" Into the panel of Europa monowheel at the moment, trying to figure out what is needed to make on order Airmaster AC200 Manual switch inputs happy. I got an answer from Martin that they use a DPDT rated at 5 amps. Waiting for answer on my more pointed question. Since I want to use a SPDT Mom-Off-Mom rated 1 amp on Ray Allen Grip, I will need to plumb in 2 relays. My question: Does in fact the manual switch direct control the pitch motor, where you would want to short the 2 leads going to the motor when in the off position to incorporate braking? In other words just like what the pitch trim switch does supplied by Europa (Ray Allen) where they actual use 2 SPDT switches where COMM is output to motor and they tie ground to NC and tie posative to NO ? Push on 1 switch and you go 1 direction, push on the other, go in other direction, let go of both, and short 2 motor leads and get braking. Or does the manual switch just control electronics in the AC200, and a DPDT output should be fine. Thx.

Is this what you're trying to do? http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Flight/Trim/T5.pdf Bob . . . ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:16:52 AM PST US From: "DAVID REEL" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: El-Cheeso batteries follow up tests . . . --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "DAVID REEL" After reading your analysis of AA batteries, I only buy Ikea "brand" batteries here in Switzerland, and they are about 1/3 the price of all others. They last just as long if not longer, and with two little kids, I use these things like I used to use diapers. No wonder it's so hard to fly on the continent, what with everyone letting their kids play with their anti-aircraft batteries!

Parigoris" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Airmaster AC200 manual switch? --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" Hello Bob Thx. for the reply. What I am looking for is the requirements of the AC200 from the manual input. I don't know how many amps is required. I don't know if the trim circuit that I described, and you so eloquent sent along is what the AC200 is looking for. It may be that the manual switch is somehow controlling the electronics in the AC200 constant speed controller and not going direct to the electric motor. Or it could be that the output is going direct to the electric to the electric motor, and your schematic is then perfect. Thx. Sincerely Ron Parigoris "Robert L.
