    Subject: Experimental conversion
    Case in point as to what Dan Lloyd said, after selling my -6 and starting my -7a I bought a Teenie 2 to stay in the air. After the recnet rule changes the Teenie 2 now falls under the LSA rules but, only IF you are the builder, I'm not. Because I am not the orginal builder, it is, and will always be registered as an "Eperimental", and because I do not hold a Repairmans Cert. for it, must always have the annual done by an A&P. >From what I have found out in this cases anyway, I can not convert it to a LSA (if I wanted to) unless I build a new ship (look Horton, no holes) and register it under the LSA rules. As with any "Experimental" I can add modify, upgrade, repair, etc. nearly anything I want to as long as the aircraft remains (performs) within it's category limitations and meets the intention of the AW Cert. Just my two cents Jim D. Do Not Archive

    Just curious... Does the 3000/5000 shrink tubing come rolled up into a special cartridge along with an ink tape - or do you feed the flattened tubing in separately? Has anyone experimented with flattening "regular" heat shrink tubing and then trying to print/label on it? I think I even have some white "regular" tubing that came flattened. Does anyone with a 3000 or 5000 have a picture of the tubing before printing/cutting? How long is the flattened tubing before printing/cutting? Is there any "leader" on it? Is there any waste at the ends when printing? How do the small sizes stay centered when printing? Rick

    Subject: Conversion to Experimental
    From: "Chuck Jensen" <cjensen@dts9000.com>
    Given the many postings about all the hurdles to conversions, one comes away with the over-mastering impression that the FAA is THE hurdle. Not that it's unsafe, unwise or stupid, but it's a bad idea because the FAA says so. I can understand the FAA being control freaks for commercial aviation--a lot of traveling people are involunatarily putting themselves in situation out of their control and they deserve protection from unscrupulous, unsafe operators. Whether the FAA accomplishes that or not, some may argue with, but the intent is clear. But as we step down the aviation food chain, why the FAA feels the need to obsess over control of personal aircraft is less understandable. Is it so outrageous an idea that if someone wants to put 6" letters EXPERIMENTAL on an aircraft, that they shouldn't have great leeway in what they do...much as the OBAM does? Owning a C150 that was not owner built and is subsequently converted to Experimental is no different than owning an RV that was built by someone else. Both have to be inspected by an A&P. How is one more, or less, safe than the other? With that said, and given the personality of the FAA, I stand amazed (and thankful) that the 51% rule was reviewed and the repercussions seem to have been minimal--to date. This initially looked very much like the proverbial 'camel's nose under the tent' problem, but the FAA seemed to show considerable restraint in reining in the most egregious examples that were pushing the boundaries without going on a boundless witch hunt. Gads, if only the world were perfect!! Chuck Jensen

    The only 28v VariEz I worked on was for a builder in Canada who wanted to fly in the wintertime . . . and wanted to use all-electric heat. We put a 28v, 100A alternator on the airplane. About 5A of that was used to run the airplane, 80+ amps were used to heat the cabin. Most of the "toe warmers" offered by suppliers to OBAM aircraft were selling 300W fan-heaters. This guy built a 2200 watt fan heater and reported "usable" performance for all but the coldest days but even this boss hog heater was too small until he spent a lot of time sealing the cockpit.

    Subject: Alternate feed to Lightspeed
    We have 360 hours on our RV6A with one mag and the Lightspeed II unit which has worked well. We have had one kickback when starting on the Lightspeed with a low battery. Spoke with Klaus about using my backup battery as an additional power source for the unit. He thought it would be fine as long as I used a Shottky diode (90SQ030) to prevent back feed from the auxiliary battery to the main. The engine starts better on the Lightspeed but we have been starting on the mag since the kickback. I am debating using power from the E-Bus which I have activated during start vs. running the Aux. power direct from the Aux. battery. The second option would allow better charging of the Aux. battery. I worry about excess current flow if the Aux. battery is low causing the 5 amp fuse on the Lightspeed to blow. Any advice? The Aux. battery is currently charged through my Rocky Mountain monitor. Thanks for the help. Kaluza

Any advice? > >The Aux. battery is currently charged through my Rocky Mountain monitor. This issue (and others like it) have surfaced dozens of times over the past 15 years. There are some products not designed to work in the real world of airplanes. In this case, a software fix to the product in question would prevent inadvertent kick-backs due to low bus voltage or any other stimulus. Adding an aux battery per Z-30 has always been the universal Band-Aid for this phenomenon. Further, it offers an opportunity to run other electrically-dependent engine accessories from a "protected" supply. No diodes needed (therefore no charging issues). Battery may be any practical size needed to address your endurance needs. Closing the contactor may be automatic . . . See: http://aeroelectric.com/articles/lvwarn/LVWarn-ABMM.pdf or manual or manual with warnings . . . See: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9011/9011-700-1C.pdf Any item needed to keep an engine running should be operated from an always-hot battery bus . . . if you got bad smells in the cockpit, you need to be able to shut EVERYTHING down without having the engine quit.

The S704-1 and similar relays (like eggs, flour and milk) are used in a variety of recipes and each recipe may treat that ingredient in a manner that is not consistent elsewhere. When you're baking a cake, you don't take a handful of recipes from multiple sources and then attempt to resolve differences between them. When someone publishes a recipe, you need to know if it's from a credible source and if the recipe is a demonstrated pathway to success. If those conditions are satisfied, then run with it.

    I am wiring up my Grand Rapids EIS and found out that the model that I have only has one aux input. I had planed on useing one input for Fuel press. and the second for Manifold pressure. With only one aux input available on my unit, I've decided to use it for fuel press. which allows for a low press warning. MAP doesn't need a warning so I will use a guage. I already have a Grand Rapids Manifold press sensor output 0 to 5volts. Does anyone know whair I can get an electric 2-1/4" 0-5volt map guage? Thanks Bill S.

I wanted to know what these labels actually looked like, since I have never seen one. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002AZ2RY/pricegrabbercpc11-20/ref=nosim The link on amazon.com has a better picture. It actually shows a few sample wires with wire labels attached. It sure does look nice for labelling wires.

    Seems like a golden business opportunity for someone with a deluxe-o labelling set-up: market a kit of pre-printed heat shrink wire labels in various alpha and numeric combinations as well as commonly used words, like comm1, nav2, audio in, etc. Printed in bulk, they're bound to be more cost-effective than wasting alot of $5 / foot heat shrink in your own home ;-) -Bill B On 12/13/06, Jae Chang <jc-matronics_aeroelectric@jline.com> wrote: > > Here is a P-touch labeller on sale for $68.43 at buy.com with free shipping. > > http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10372536&loc=101&sp=1&adid=17662 > > I don't have one, but just noticed it and remembered the discussion on this > list.

    Subject: Re: GNS430 VLOC/GPS wiring
    My old copy of the Garmin Installation Manual shows how to wire the NSD-1000 HSI, and there is no mention of any special issues. I looked at the list of configuration menu items, and didn't see any that were obviously relevant to your problem. My installation manual shows a possible cause. The HSI lateral and vertical deviations are supposed to be wired to pins on connector 4001. These pins send either VLOC or GPS deviations, depending on what is selected. But, there are VLOC only lateral and vertical deviation pins on connector 4006. I can't find a description of what comes out of those pins if the GNS 430 is selected to GPS, but it is possible that they would continue to send VLOC data. Maybe your friend's HSI is connected to those pins rather than the ones on connector 4001. Who did the wiring?

    Well, a TC aircraft has to be inspected by an A&P?IA annually, unlike an OBAM.

    Subject: Re: DYMO RhinoPRO3000 label writer
    Since I started this discussion, thought I'd chime in on my purchase decision. I've opted for a Brady ID Pal, for about $100. It doesn't print heat-shrink tubing, but the Dymo Rhyno cartridges are pretty pricey for only 5 feet of tube. The standard cartridges are smaller (less total length) on the Dymos, and Brady claims there is less waste (margin) on their labels. We'll see.. My thinking is that if I really NEED a heat-shrink tube label, I'll make a standard label and apply a clear shrink-tube around it. Usual suspects might be anything FWF. But the MAJOR factor was that using the wrap-around labels, you can print up to 4 (I think) lines of text on each label- a no-brainer since this kind of label is vastly easier to read when you are standing on your head with a maglite in your teeth trying to find the "E1-26A" wire in that bundle going to the audio panel. Whatever. My best investigations indicate that the heat-shrink tubes only get one line of text- not too handy, IMHO... Will produce a "product evaluation report" upon reciept and use of Brady label machine... >From The PossumWorks in TN Mark

    Subject: Heat shrink labelling
    Just another approach. We got 400 pairs of numbered heat shrink, 300 pairs of 3/32" and 100 pairs of 1/4" - Each label being 3/4" long, www.merithian.com - total cost was about US$60. Every wire / cable then has one label on each end and a spreadsheet for look up for wire size / termination / routing / function. So far has worked really well.
