Subject: | firewall penetration |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "bob noffs" <icubob@newnorth.net>
hi all,
i am doing my firewall forward right now and am attempting to follow good building
practices. i think that in my case at least, some of the methods of firewall
protection are a little overgunned. my holes for bowden cable in the firewall
are all a tight fit. then several wraps of safey wire around the cable on
each side of the firewall keeps the cable from moving. then a dab of hi temp
silicone around the hole. it seems that another layer of a stainless steel over
the cable is just duplicating what the metal firewall is already doing.
i can see that a hole for multiple cables or wiring needs a different treatment.
my airplane is a wood and cloth fisher dakota hawk. i have a feeling that my airframe
would be gone before hot gas leaking around my choke cable got my attention.

Hello out there,
I would like to ask, if someone of you had similar experience with Bendix <spell?Bendix,77&b=0&a=0&f=-1&h=0&t=6C73165&p=0&i=0&e=0&c=283&s=Experience+with+Honeywell/+Bendix-King>-King
(Honeywell <spell?Honeywell,90&b=0&a=0&f=-1&h=0&t=6C73165&p=0&i=0&e=0&c=283&s=Experience+with+Honeywell/+Bendix-King>)
as I have currently.
Situation, 3 years ago, I've bought a KX-125 and used it in my Star. From Day one
on the VOR part was not working (couldn't get a signal strong enough) as testing
took a year with two configuration to test plus noise measurement etc. I
did not spend much attention (I know I should because of guarantee) on that until
last spring. A test showed immediately, that the VOR Receiver must be bad.
As policy does not allow to repair outside factory we had to send it back, took
more then 3 month with several quotes raising the estimated repair cost from
about 600$ to meanwhile 1264$ plus tax and shipping (the Com being also defect).
I think this is a bit of a rip off, as a re conditioned one goes in the rang of
1700/1800$ most.
Any similar experience?
br

If you look at the history, you can see that engine fires caused by broken
fuel lines was a major technological problem. Early aircraft frequently had
a fuel tank between the pilot and the firewall, and fuel lines that tended
to break and leak. The invention of flexible lines that were capable of
carrying fuels as a big deal. See:
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/reports/1921/naca-tm-48/
also see:
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/reports/1922/naca-tm-144/
My Glastar kit comes with a 10 pound sheet of stainless steel firewall that
I just can't bear to use. There are dozens of good approaches to building a
firewall that makes sense and weighs a lot less. The big guys don't use
stainless steel firewalls anymore, but of course only single front-mounted
engines require one. There are dozens of good approaches to building a
firewall that makes sense and weighs a lot less. Additional sound deadening
can be achieved at the same time by using a sandwich of fiberfrax, 3M dot
paper, carbon fiber and silicone.
It does seem odd that a whole hank of cables can run through a hole and most
of the effort seems devoted to making a fireproof collar for the hole.
Something seems amiss. It also seems a bit misguided to worry about the
firewall in a plastic airplane.
A number of issues--
1) The Lancair approach to bringing in cabin air from the tail seems great.
In the event of an engine fire, smoke won't get in.
2) A fire extinguisher that injects Purple K into the engine compartment,
perhaps in several places would be easy to add. (but Halon or such for the
cabin....)
3) A flame/smoke hood for each person on board would be cheap insurance.

Mornin' Mark, Frank-
Snip
Not sure if it would work for y'all taildragger types, but my brake
reservoir
is mounted on the far right cockpit side of the sub-panel
I'm Building an -8, and I think that location would be problematic for me.
But you do have me revisiting the layout of that system...
Snip
Plus, I made a duplicate cabin heat box and door from stainless, and used a
steel hinge for the door.
I dodged that task and sprang for the prebuilt SS unit.
I also used Bob's SS shower grab bar idea for wire / cable penetrations.
I'm very happy with the results. The one addition I made to the concept on
my -8, for what it's worth, was to use a length of 3/4 aluminum tube I had
laying around as a conduit along the R/H sidewall of the fwd baggage
compartment, between the firewall and the gear tower. It runs just below
the longeron. The only drawback was that by the time I had run all my
sensor wires, MP tube, and Stby alt wiring, I was wishing I had gotten some
1 inch tube for the installation.
While I'm at it, what are you guys using for FWF manifold pressure line,
and are you running it all the way to the instrument, or making a
transition of some sort at the firewall? I thought I had mine all mapped
out,, but have heard some dissension lately (off list ) that has got me
rethinking it.
Thanks a bunch-

Eric,
I couldn't find any data about the Exitair smoke hood's capabilities to
protect against carbon monoxide. The Exitair may be an adequate device to
use for escape if you're already on the deck. A better choice to carry in
the cockpit may be a hood that does filter CO, such as the Evac-U8. Combined
with an in-flight CO detector, a CO-filtering hood could provide the
necessary time to land the aircraft from altitude if CO is detected, or
there is smoke or a fire. Yes, the Evac-U8 and similar are more expensive
and take up more space, but....
Would be very interested to know more about firewall alternatives, can you
point us in the right direction?

Matt: forgive me.
Bob Nuckolls said:
" Yup. At Cessna (1965) and every job I've had since, they are referred to
as a "bus". Folks often forget to take the second "s" off when paring down
from
plural busses to a singular bus. Further, the brand name Bussmann and
their foreshortening of the trade name for other marketing names
(Buss-Power, has been cited as a strong influence for misspelling the word
as well.
A Google search on "power distribution buss" yielded 67 hits. A search
on "power distribution bus" yielded 1020 hits. Bob . . ."
I'm afraid I must gently agree with 'Old Bob'. Here in Canada we (who
aren't taught by USTV) have learned to respect the source of our language
(English) by maintaining traditional spelling - very few of us apparently.
Like Old Bob, I was taught by aviation teachers who spelt it BUSS to
diffrerentiate it from BUS (Omnibus). "Buses" is thus the 'common' pleural
of 'buse' and we all know where that leads. What ever happened to the
grammatical rule that a double consonant renders the previous vowel - short
or am I all alone here?
Referring to Google for spelling is like asking Elmer Fudd to sign up for
Astronautical Physics. It simply refers to 'common usage' - the sole
quality being most common. Thus we have color for colour (couleur), fit for
fitted, etc.
I can't wait for channel X Pajama Patty to refer to a meeting as a

Ferg,
No flame, but certainly a different perspective. My "authority" on the
subject is only that I recently finished listening to a lecture course from
The Teaching Company called "A History of the English Language", which
doesn't exactly make me an expert.
First, the English language, like most languages, evolves. The reason that
"knight" is spelled that way is that that way most closely resembles how it
was pronounced, long ago. Second, there are many dialects or versions of
English. The way someone from Liverpool uses the language is not "better" or
"worse" than the way someone from Dallas or Sydney or Vancouver or Cape Town
or Boston uses it - just different. And third, a dictionary, by design,
presents common usage, which is determined by studying how people are
currently using the language. I would expect that a dictionary written in
Canada to be different from one written in the U.S. They would have a
different "color", so to speak.
So please don't assume or imply or say that if it's not the King's English,
it's not the English language. If you want a static (defined, non-evolving,
dead) language, try Latin.
As for how to spell "bus", how does it matter?

I hope this was an invitation to lob over some good-natured
spears!
I used to be very pedantic about how people used English,
particularly in written form. Then, when I moved to Switzerland
and had to "quickly" learn to read, write, and speak German
and French, I became *very* tolerant of other people's
mistakes in English. I'm still butchering German and French,
and in the process, my English is getting worse!
The CEO of ABB once said that the company's official
language is "Bad English", in order to put non-native
English speakers at ease for not speaking or writing
perfect English. This was a good move, IMHO.
I think we should do whatever we can to help people
feel comfortable asking questions and providing answers
on these lists. Having had the privilege of working
with smart people from all over the world, I can
assure you that we have a lot to learn from many
people that don't speak or write perfect English, or
in probably more cases, any English at all!
I know you were just poking a little fun at those of
use who are "spell check challenged" - and I promise
I'll try to do better. :-)
Cheers!
Mickey

There exists an entire internet peopled by misspellers, and occasionally I venture
into it by mistake. It's always certain you are in the Land-of-People-Who-Can't-Spell
when Google returns three or four hits. In fact there is an entire
AereElectic list run by people who can't spell; their main Guru is Bob Knuckles
who proposed the E-Buss and seems to like Crow Bears. It's kind of like an
alternate reality.
What the real Bob N. said about Bussman fuses influencing the spelling of Bus/Buss
seems to agree with my experience. One might add that I was 50 before I learned
to spell Littelfuse instead of Littlefuse. I wonder how much business it
cost the Littelfuse people? By the Way--They know this and own the sites Littelfuse.com
AND Littlefuse.com. They both go to the same site. Google finds ~400,000
Littelfuses and ~40,000 Littlefuses.
But seriously, the main problem with spelling is that it makes it hard to look
things up in archives later on. I used to read the pertinent US patents in the
medical business and one day I learned of an important one that I had somehow
missed. The reason was that the device name was badly misspelled on the patent,
and nobody involved in the process seemed to take notice. I began to suspect
that there might be a world of misspelled stuff out there. How would one ever
know?
You can write the HTML code to get search engines to go to your website, EVEN if
the search string is misspelled, by adding misspelled variants to your metatags.

and the wrong way."

My personal favorite was a single email that used "to", "too" and "two"
- all incorrectly!
And then there's the nonsensical sales-speak such as this pitch I
recently received. More evidence of the decline of civilization...
====================================
Dear Greg
We wanted to reach out to you and express our interest in having a value
based conversation. We've been working with several local companies
similar to C/s Solutions recently and have been able to realize
significant gains to the bottom line.
We're finding that with the reduction in operating expenses coupled with
accelerating sales cycles, enhancements to the qualifying process,
ability to reach more people and drastic reduction of support call
volumes and call times all add up to measurable and sustainable gains.
We would like to put a call together where we can better understand your
initiatives and potentially align them with our services.
At this point we don't know if you folks will be able to realize the
types of gains that others are enjoying but with a quick 5 minute call
we can make this determination. I'll be reaching out to you early next
week. If this is inconvenient for you, please respond and suggest a time
and date that is more suitable with your calendar.
Best Regards,
<name withheld to protect the guilty>

I still don't know what he was trying to sell me but nothing was

As usual, I took the cheap&easy track- my engine came with 3 cylinders
already plumbed for primer, but as I opted to forgo priming, I used these for MAP
instead. I just ran a piece of auto style vacuum hose from the T fitting that
collected the primer lines on the engine to a steel fitting on the firewall,
then on to the MAP sensor (EIS4000). A short section of 1/8" copper tubing from
the T provides a place to attach the hose at the engine end, and another
short piece at the firewall side.
http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/images/117969595342a106f8d3529.jpg
In the foto, you can (barely) see the fitting where the line is connected
directly under #4 cylinder, passes behind the exhaust tube and in front of the
engine mount web, down the mount tube and into the short copper line at the
steel fitting through the firewall just under the outer end of the oil cooler.
Other than being pretty easy, I'd theorize that the MAP sensor is being fed the
average MP from the 3 cylinders it's connected to as opposed to just one
(typically #3) and possibly results in a smoother pressure gradient at the sensor,
FWIMBW.... (For What It Might Be Worth!)

later sent a note home with mispellings. Our educational system is in decline !

Hmmm . . . I think the connector on the back of your indicator
is a Positronics GAP series connector. You can get the catalog
at:
http://www.connectpositronic.com/pdf/StdDensityRect_C009RevB.pdf
Look thorough this document and see if dimensions for a 41 pin
device matches your indicator. Now the hard part. It's hard to
find tools (and even perhaps pins) for a one-of-a-kind project.
Avionics shops stock all then necessary tools and pins for these
popular connectors. However, Positronic doesn't sell through dealers.
You can probably get them to sample you enough pins for a one-of
project but you still need a crimp tool. I think you can use the
RCT-3 tool from B&C by removing the pin positioner for d-subs and
manually positioning the pin in the tool.
You might see if an avionics shop would sell you 41 pieces of
22AWG wire with pins installed. You can insert them without a
tool and won't need to extract them if you're careful with the
wiring job.

Subject: | Alternator Noise |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Jim Pack" <jpack@advancedmd.com>
I've got some pretty heavy Radio noise that I've traced to my Alternator. I cut
the alternator and - Quite.
Any suggestions on where to look? It's a B&C 60 amp.
