Howdy List!
Regarding previous posts about my problems with epanelbuilder:
Bill VonDane has been in touch and it appears epanelbuilder is too much for
my slo dial-up connection to handle But much to his credit he is working to
make it more accessible for those of us still in the 20th century. It really
looks like a useful tool, but just not so much for those of us who prefer
putting ga$ in our planes instead of the pockets of the Internet mogul$. (sigh)
Maybe one day when I get rich like everybody else, I'll be able to get all that
advertising at breathtaking speed! 8-)
No ill-will intended for epanel, but at least now I know what the problem is-
my penny pinching! 8-(

Dick,
Thanks for your comments. I agree the MSI PVC housing is a problem. I was
thinking about disassembling the sensor and machining a brass housing. The
nice thing about the MSI is that it already has an amplifier so the output
voltage can go directly into my BMA EFIS.
I think the materials in the Honeywell are OK for gasoline. I know several
Europa drivers who have had this installed for over two years with no
problems.
I'm still trying to decide which way to go.

Mark,
I have a DSL line, so I didn't have the same difficulties you did. However,
the site is a little difficult to use. First, it really doesn't work at all
until you pay (minimum is $40 for 3 months). This turns on most of the
functionality, including the ability to save your project so that you can
see it and work on it again, or print it out.
Navigating around the site is a bit odd. Things don't always work in the
way a MS Windows user would expect. Second, there are a few common items
missing - for example, I can't find any type of Hobbs meter in the
libraries. Also, most of the items I am planning to use in my panel are
missing information (electrical load, weight, cost, etc), so the summary
pages are pretty much useless. Nevertheless, it's a pretty quick way to do
several conceptual layouts of an instrument panel when you are trying to
decide how to arrange things. Just remember to "SAVE" before printing or
closing!

I've registered, downloaded the required Macromedia app, supposedly started

struggling for 15 minutes to get a panel template to show) and then couldn't
open
that
project next time I tried, and generally run into more problems than any app
(out of hundreds- this stuff is NOT new to me!) I've ever tried to use
before.
Then tried to get assistance, been issued "tickets" (what ever happened to
customer support via e-mail, fer chrissake!!) and am genuinely frustrated
and
annoyed after over 3 hours for 2 days of trying to accomplish anything.
Must
not be holding my left foot in the correct position or the moon is out of
phase. Anyone else with horror/success stories with this?
Suggestions for alternatives welcome- maybe I'll just go back to AutoCAD and

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Gilles Thesee <Gilles.Thesee@ac-grenoble.fr>
Hi Bob and all,
A buddy is asking about the Scintilla 28 V 300 W dynamo on his LOM engine.
Does anyone know of a suitable voltage regulator at a reasonable price ?
He says the one on the Moravia website is much too expensive.
Some builders have suggested connecting the dynamo to the battery direct
via a diode, and devise a simple regulator with a transistor and some
simple components.
I recall intricate devices with vibrating coils, shunt and series
coils, cutout adjustment, etc.
Have things become so simple today ?
Any input appreciated,

Mark,
How did the site work for you in demo mode, i.e. before you paid your
$39?
I've been using the demo mode to layout my panel for fun, until I'm
ready to committ the $$ and time to make a hardware copy, and it seems
to work well. The "ticket" system of communication seems like a solution
looking for a problem and is cumbersome. But I found the guy who runs
the site (Bill Dane, if memory serves) is responsive, and obviously
overworked. The panel I'm using (Glasair FutureVision) was not in the
inventory of templates and I emailed the file from Panel Planner to him.
It was up on EPanel's site within a day or two and needed only minor
tweaks to get to the right scale, which EPanel accomplished quickly.
if EPB worked for you in demo mode, despite limited features, and it
stumbles after you subscribed, then I would want to hear some answers
from Bill Dane.
Thanks for the heads-up,
John

Hi John- sounds like you connect at something higher than 49K- my dial-up
seems to be the biggest problem- I couldn't even play with the demo except to
(finally!) load panel template & got no further- also had not subcribed at the
time...

The last data I had on the LOM power generation of choice
showed a classic, wound field generator wired per Figure Z-18
An electro-mechanical regulator for this generator would
look something like this:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Regulators/GenReg_2A.jpg
There ARE solid state replacements for generators but these
are much more difficult to build than for alternators.
Generator regulators need reverse current cutout relay
or diode, current sense and limiting in addition to the
voltage regulating duties. See chapter 3.
This cannot be done with simple circuitry. Further, the
generators are generally slower in their response to
changes in applied field voltage. Regulators tend
to be more specific to the type of generator while
alternator regulators generally work with a wide range
of alternator sizes and brands.
Short answer is that one can PROBABLY craft a suitable
regulator from pieces and parts but the $time$ invested
would most certainly exceed the $time$ required to
purchase the off-the-shelf part. I doubt that any of
my clients of past years would even consider
bringing a modern generator regulator to the market.
The market is too narrow and expenses are breathtaking.
Bob . . .

Done well, the ticket system can be a great help to the
customers, since it helps keep focus on the problem. Done
poorly, it can be a pain. I don't recall using Bill VonDane's
system, so I can't comment on it.

Bill has been very helpful for me and has added items as I have
requested them. The ticket system worked very well for me. Though sometimes
it may be a day or so in getting anwsers. No big deal to me I'm not in a
hurry. Although beware, the accual size of my panel (Aerocomp C6) vs e-panel
was not exactly to scale as I found out. The width and height seemed to jibe
I think it was the rounded contours that threw me off. Bill offered to fix
that too but I did'nt think it worth the effort since the program is mainly
for preliminary design. And very good it is. I changed my accual layout
after I saw layed out in the real world as I'm sure most do.

I tried to use it, but gave up. It's easier to just have someone download the Van's

machine. That's what I did after wasting a week trying to use epanelbuilder

the Van's DWG drawing and modify it to suite you needs, and get it cut with
a waterjet machine. That's what I did after wasting a week trying to use
epanelbuilder website. FWIW Sam Engine

Aircraft Extras will sell you an airspeed switch separately from their
Flap protection system if you want:

Bob,
I have asked you for assistance regarding where to get a rpm based
switch with a timer, as you recomended that I use instead of an airspeed
switch. I noticed that you have not been as active on the list as usual
so I am asking if you got my request, and if you have any information
about where to acquire such a switch. Thanks in advance. Please do not
take this as a complaint, just wondering about the lack of response.

Thanks Tim,
I am looking for a much lower set point. Bob suggested an RPM switch and I am
trying to find out if he knows where to buy the device that he recommended

Sorry for the delay. I've been tied up with a big
certification fire-fight. It's really limited the time
I can spend doing fun things. Should be over this weekend.
I don't know of any commercial devices. I have a kind of
generic etched circuit board that carries a little 8-pin
micro-controller and some general purpose input-output
pins.
My program guy could teach a chip to do a tach signal interpretation
and close a circuit when the signal stays above 1500 rpm
for 30 seconds. There are probably others on the List who
could do this too.
I'm wondering how much interest there would be for such
a device. It would take quite a bit of high-talent time
for a one-of-a-kind project.

Bob,
Thanks for the response. I can't venture a guess as to the desire for such a device.
In rv's the only use I can think of is to turn on/off avionics that are
normally switched by sqat switches or the like in the certified world. With
the decreased price of tcad units there may be more demand soon?? I am not in
a rush, but, I am interested in an electronic version of this switch. Please
let me know if you get a chance to look at this a little deeper. Thanks. Don

| Subject: | Panasonic LC-RD1217P and Van's Battery Box Misfit |
Hi Bob,
I took a few pix of the mod to the battery box. This should give
you the idea on how it goes together. My first attempt tried to get the
whole "other" battery into the box. However, the Panasonic does not have
the little ridge around the top which holds the battery about 1/4" up
from the bottom. I will file that ridge off the generic battery so it
will go all the way to the bottom. Then again, I might put a spacer in
the bottom to take up that space. I'm not in favor of trimming the
little flange around the top of the "other" battery. It seems to be
where the top and bottom come together. What is your thought on trimming
or spacing for that little protrusion?

| Subject: | Dissimilar metal corrosion chart? |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
I had a chart a while back (can't find) that showed in detail what could
be put together and what not to put together if you wanted to have a good
chance at not creating dissimilar metal corrosion.
Anyone have one or know where to get one?

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "DEAN PSIROPOULOS" <dean.psiropoulos@verizon.net>
I'm taking a poll:
What it the most popular power jack used in portable electronics today? I
am planning on putting two power outlets in, one is the cigarette lighter
plug. I thought I'd use one of the smaller common power jacks for a second
source as well. Good idea or should I just put in another cigarette lighter
plug?
Audio input jacks for my stereo audio panel...again what is the most popular
style of stereo plug used in portable electronics today? I'm guessing it's
the mini plug like that used on computer speakers but not sure.

Still a few holes needed in panel.

Dean Hi! From UK
I have standard Cigarette Lighter type 12V Auxiliary. May put another in or
with care use dual input adapter occasionally. The people I know who have
fitted the very neat 12V socket have always had to make up an adapter to the
12V auxiliary type! I've limited my in-line fuse to 3 Amps.
For audio into Intercom I using the mini plug and socket. Works really well
into my PS 500.
