    Subject: Coolie Hat Switch
    From: "Stucklen, Frederic W UTPWR" <Fred.Stucklen@UTCPower.com>
    Does anyone know where I can purchase the Coolie Hat switch used for aileron & Elevator trim? I'm also looking for the relay deck required to interface it with the trim servos. Fred Stucklen RV-6A RV-7A Hi Carl, I have them in my 6A. They have worked well so far, I like the feel, and were fairly easy to wire. They have them set up for pilot and passenger sticks, make sure you get the correct one. I have one of each. I have it set up :- trigger - ppt; front - flip flop ( you need to watch this one, have changed channel without realizing it) - coolie hat Elev & Ail trim and Top two - auto pilot engage & disengage. Regards, Dave Burnham

    Very kool, this stuff "will" fly airplanes one day. Why not now? I understand Boeing has an electric bird in development now. -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bill Dube Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 6:58 PM To: aeroelectric-list@matronics.com Subject: AeroElectric-List: KillaCycle on Dish Net Tonight I haven't posted in quite a while because I have been uber-busy with my electric drag bike (instead of building my RV-7). For those that are interested in the latest battery technology, you might enjoy watching "Green Wheels" on VOOM HD (also Equator HD) on the Dish Network at 10 PM EST. Here is a link to the teaser clip: http://voom.tv/equatorhd/greenwheels/ Click on the "Watch Video" tab Bill Dube' billdube@killacycle.com (I'm also the guy that did the original LED position light kits. Still doing them, actually)

    Subject: A123 Systems Nano-phosphate technology and aircraft
    (was: KillaCycle on Dish Net Tonight) You can do a fantastic electric motor glider, but nothing long range. Imagine if gasoline weighed about 100 lbs per gallon and you will understand the range issue. These "Nano-Phosphate" type cells will make a big dent in the weight of airplanes soon. As you can see, they put out a huge amount of power for their weight, so they will be perfect starting batteries for airplanes. This specific type of battery has none of the safety issues that other high-power batteries have. If you are interested in a good technical discussion about this new high-power battery technologies, in comparision with other types of cells, here is a link: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/print/5490 Bill Dube' longg@pjm.com wrote: > Very kool, this stuff "will" fly airplanes one day.

    For range/payload performance, it seems that it's tough to beat power plants which directly convert chemical potential (fuel) to mechanical kinetic (driving a propeller). Especially since you only have to bring part of the reactants with you - there's already an oxidizer in the air. Converting chemical potential to electrical (discharging a battery) and thence to mechanical seems to me incurs an extra step, and extra steps are always lossy. Having to carry both reactants with you is a steep penalty as well (a battery). Fuel cells can use air as a reactant, but their reaction rate densities have been so low as to make them impractical for a flying vehicle.
