| Subject: | Radio Rack Screws |
Bevan,
The first step is to know the part number for the SS parts. This is
actually rather simple. You simply add one to the last digit of the
more common MS part number (The K1000 numbers used by Vans Aircraft
are actually part of an obsolete numbering system). As an example, a
common nutplate (old system calls them K1000) is the MS21047-xxx (x
denoting the screw hole size). The SS version of this nutplate would
be MS21048-xxx.
I purchased my SS nutplates from M&M Aerospace Hardware. M&M has 5
locations around the country. They are geared towards selling to
aviation professionals, but will sell to individuals. Early last year
I made a "group purchase" of these SS nutplates for people on the
Yahoo RV8 List. I did this because M&M offers pricing discounts when
hardware is ordered in lots of 100. The discount is very significant.
M&M's web site is below.
http://www.mmaero.com/us/index.cfm
M&M carries all the "hard to find" stuff that other vendors don't have.

Judging from Bob's patient answers to innumerable queries, from the
didn't-read-the-F-manual to from-one-EE-to-another-EE types, I don't
believe he will be alienated anytime soon. Many years of teaching
have apparently taught him that in any audience there are people for
whom the phrasing of a question is exhaustion enough, leaving them
only with the threshold consciousness needed to scribble down the
answer. I've gotten that plaintive "Dude!, I asked you for the time,
not how to build a clock!" reaction, usually from those taking a
course because it's required, not because they are interested in the
subject. As a guy who can only understand amps and volts in terms of
water spurting from a garden hose - and I have to be looking at one
to get a clear picture, I am more likely than most on this list to
reach for the inhaler if an answer to a question leaves me with
another question. But, hey, I figure I'm learning, so I reach for
the 'Connection, call Stein, reread installation instructions, search
the archives, kick the cat, or have another beer, and try to work it
out for myself. Keep teaching, Bob, and set up a fee schedule for
those who want one-line answers.

Whoo, hooo! Bless you, William! Just the item I was looking for.
Guess the lathe will have to wait.
Thanks!

| Subject: | Switching between comm feeds |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Neil Clayton <harvey4@earthlink.net>
Like most Long's/Cozy's, I built a comm antenna into each winglet.
I ran coax's from both winglets to the panel. I'd like to install a
switch so I can switch between antenna's.
There's such a switch behind my TV that the kids use to switch
between DVD or cable feed. It's a flaky Radio Shack thing, but it
works (if you fiddle with it).
Is there a higher-end version that I can install behind the panel for
switching between antennas?
Many thanks
Neil

Great info, but does anyone actually carry them? I couldn't find a
distributor that even recognizes that they still exist...

I am one of those "EE types" and if one of my explanations leave you
scratching your head, just ask again, but please don't kick the cat :-) .

See www.utahelectronics.com/cuesprod.htm. You will have to call them, no
internet sales. They do stock the Knurl-nut wrench. Don
