| Subject: | Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some lame magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth
at least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and
get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come
to think of it, you do... :-)
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support the
Lists?

Again, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has made a Contribution thus far
during this year's List Fund Raiser!! These Lists are made possible exclusively
through YOUR generosity!!
Thank you for your support!

I see that AvWeb and Aviation Consumer are doing a survey of pilots who have
had a battery fail. You can participate here:

See their website.
You will see lots more of these soon. As always--buy these if you are going to
fly very soon--otherwise wait for more products, higher performance at lower cost.

| Subject: | Master Relay Switching High Current |
Hi Bob,
Thanks for answering my question about the effect of the hydraulic pump
motor on the master relay. Your answer is also consistent with the fact
that I haven't heard of any problems in the field, but I have the new
model hydraulic pump that has a significantly higher current draw than
most of the existing ones. I won't worry about it.
Thanks,
Dennis Johnson

Does anyone know where Bob's articles on load meters are? I thought it
might be in Chapter 7, but I couldn't find it.

I would like to eliminate the 60A circuit breaker from my experim
ental project instrument panel. Is there a suitable fuse, current limite
r or fusible link which would survive the heat and vibration in the engi
ne cowling between the alternator and starter contactor on the starter.
thanks,
Chris

Use an ANL 60A fuse. These are slow blow. They are often found under the
cowl!
You should be able to find them at Aircraft Spuce or many of the other
suppliers.
