I have used Visio a lot and re-drawn many of the symbols- I can let you have
my 'library page' if you'd like.
I use Visio a lot so I found it pretty useful to draw the schematics as
well.

Has anyone tried using Visio to draw their schematic? It looks like it will
work but I'm not finding much in the way of automotive symbols i.e.
solenoids relays etc.
Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program for this?
Thanks, Tim Andres

Hi there Peter,
I have sent what I have to you via your email address; you can also convert
the dwg files that Bob supplies, although I find that using them after
conversion is not easy. If anyone else wants what I have (not much..) then
mail me directly.

Hi Tim,
Here's mine, all done in Visio.........
I started off by importing Bob's CAD drawings and then converting them. I then
went about "cleaning" up the less than perfect result and saving the individual
components as "groups". After that, drag and drop and copy and paste works a
charm in Visio.
Would you like a copy of the source?
Andrew.

Here is the 9.5mm camera for $107:

You can also get the Rigid inspection camera unit here for $85,
which I think is the same thing as the HF unit:
<http://www.reliablepaper.com/SeeSnake_Micro_Inspection_Camera_p/632-31133.htm>
They also have a $49 version. I'm not sure what the differences are:

They look identical to the borescope I bought from Harbor Freight a few
months ago. Excellent tool. Has a solid, firm feel to it, too. One ad
mentioned a 30 foot extension? Where can I find one of those?
Oh, the one I have allows the video head to be removed from the handheld
and can be moved some feet away from where the actual tool is working,
allowing others to see.

DJ,
It appears that the $49 "version" isn't a less expensive camera but a 3' extension
cable for the $85 camera unit.
I'm considering ordering the basic camera and the 9.5mm camera head. Looks very
interesting.

Ok, the difference between the $49 and $85 versions appears to be the
length of the cable. The $49 is 3 feet while the $85 is 6 feet,
according to the ads. Mine is 3 feet from HF. Heckuva bargain at $49.

DJ (and others)...
Be careful that you know what you order from the website you linked below.
Cjeck out the next page:
www.reliablepaper.com/Ridgid_SeeSnake_micro_Inspection_Camera_s/6295.htm
It looks like they used a stock picture of the entire camera set for not
only the camera head, but each of the accessory options except the 9mm
camera.
If that's true, then even if you get the camera, you will still have to
buy the cable and the accessory kit separately...the $49 version appears
to be JUST the 3 foot cable extension. When you get done buying
everything you need, it'll be a bit more than the HF unit which is $139
right now, but goes on "sale" regularly for $99..
Having said that, the major difference between the Rigid unit and the
Harbor Freight one, is that the HF unit has a REMOVABLE screen that is
wireless. I was able to remove the screen, plug it in to my computer,
then walk out to the garage while recording what it was seeing into my
computer (it doesn't come with the software to do that, just an video
cable...I already had an video to digital converter and the software).
I tried using the HF unit with the screen attached several times, but
even for simple inspections, it was easier to detach it so I could
manipulate the camera without having to stand on my head to see the screen.

Thanks! I didn't catch that.
Looks like the camera unit itself is $76 at:
<http://www.reliablepaper.com/SeeSnake_Micro_Inspection_Camera_p/632-26663.htm>
plus the 9.5mm camera and cable for $107 at:
<http://www.reliablepaper.com/Imager_Head_and_Cable_p/632-30068.htm>
so it would cost around $183 in total for the smaller camera.
It is not clear whether you would also have to buy the accessory pack
(mirrors) separately for $17 at:
<http://www.reliablepaper.com/Hook_Magnet_and_Mirror_Attachment_Accessory_Pack_p/632-26668.htm>

Yep, Bob...a whole bunch of us did.
You must have missed my previous email today on this topic, as I
mentioned a couple of uses I've put it to.
In addition to those (including recording the inspections directly into
my computer), I used it to repair a pocket door (like the doors on Star
Trek...slide into the wall) at a friends house that had jumped the track
INSIDE the pocket. I used the camera to look in along the top edge of
the door from the end and see which side it jumped off on, and what was
needed to get it back on the track...also used it to watch what I was
doing as I maneuvered it back on track. Without a camera like that, she
would have had to tear out the trim molding and then cut a hole in the
wall behind it just to see what the problem was, and then probably cut
another hole to adjust it.
As far as my Long EZ, so far, I've checked the hell hole to find tools
and small parts I've dropped in there...inspected the inside of the
strakes, both from inside the fuselage, and through the holes in the
strake used to tighten the wing mounting bolts, and just today found
some washers I had dropped into the nose when installing the electric
nose lift (the fuselage is currently upside down ...I used the magnet to
pick up the washers once I saw them lying between the nose block and the
forward edge of the back battery bulkhead ).
When I get the holes cut for the fuel tank filler, I'll be using it to
examine the inside of the tanks. It can also electrically flip and/or
rotate the image on the screen. Don't know if the others do that.
The HF camera has been worth every penny! You just have to remember that
with the camera it comes with, if you want a sharp focus, then what you
are viewing should be further away than 4 inches...that smaller 9mm
camera is advertised to have a shorter focal range if you want to see
something close, and pay the extra money for it.
As I mentioned earlier, the best part is being able to remove the
screen...then you don't have to twist around in weird positions to try
to look at it as you move the camera handle.

Is it small enough to enter a spark plug hole?

And with the HF model you can focus inside the cylinder okay with a 4" or so
minimum focus distance?
Can you look back at the valves?
And what does it look like the wireless range might be?
I think someone said it came with a cable to allow you to record the video
on the computer. Have you tried this?
Thanks,

Greetings Bob et al.,
On another list someone posted that he "spiked" his radio when he
inadvertently turned his master switch off and immediately turned it
back on. He did not say what the engine rpm was at when this happened.
He said the radio was protected only by a circuit breaker that did not
open. The radio required service which included the replacement of a
resistor. He also said he planned on adding a fuse to the radio circuit.
I don't understand how the stated actions would result in the damage
cited. Any insight would be appreciated.
Regards,
Frank

Like the 'Connection, the website is always "in process".
I've been working on a new index for the posted articles
and slowly coming out broken/missing links . . . time permitting.
I've activated the new index at:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles.html
. . . a heads-up on any detected errors would be welcome.
It's still got a way to go but I think the new organization
will make it much easier to browse the work product for
topics of interest.

| Subject: | Basic Electrical Architecture for review... |
Greetings all,
I've attached an electrical architecture (in Bob's drawing style) for
your review. It's for the Longeze I'm restoring. I'm doing the
restoration in multiple stages. Although it had ~1000 Hrs. on it when I
obtained it, it's been grounded since I received it. The attached
architecture is intended to be more robust and fault tolerant than what
was there (which I'm sure it is...) and certainly not worse in that
regard than a TC aircraft (though not as good as a design with an
essential bus).
Down the road a bit, I intend to replace the vacuum system and
associated instruments with electric, plus a backup alternator and an
architecture with an essential bus.
I would appreciate comments on the architecture and, specifically, on
any unmitigated faults (especially those that would not be acceptable in
a TC aircraft).
The aircraft is VFR only.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Stearns

Restoring (since 1/07): N45FC O235 Longeze Cothern/Friling CF1 (~1000 Hrs)

THeoretically you could look at the valves with the mirror but I haven't
done that.
As to range, I've had it contact stuff and it was almost in focus.
Range for the wireless part is a few feet inside the house if there's a
wall between you and maybe 25 or 30 feet outside. So range varies.
It does have a video out port so getting it into a computer is a snap.

Hi Tim,
Here's mine, all done in Visio.........
I started off by importing Bob's CAD drawings and then converting them. I
then went about "cleaning" up the less than perfect result and saving the
individual components as "groups". After that, drag and drop and copy and
paste works a charm in Visio.
Would you like a copy of the source?
Andrew.

Has anyone tried using Visio to draw their schematic? It looks like it will
work but I'm not finding much in the way of automotive symbols i.e.
solenoids relays etc.
Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program for this?
Thanks, Tim Andres

| Subject: | Re: "Spiked" Radio |
Frank,
You don't specify the type of aircraft and radio which can make a big
difference. If the guy is considering adding a fuse then that suggests to me its
a homebuilt aircraft, raising the question of just how much care has been taken
to configure everything to best practice for the mission desired.
Some radios designed for the Ultralight / LSA markets are not TSO'd and not necessarily
able to withstand the conditions of electrical immunity spelled out in
DOD-160 or better.
In a proper installation with an adequate electrical system any TSO'd radio should
be OK with the conditions described. I would not expect a properly sized CB
to trip and definitely not hold my breath for a fuse do do anything.
I have owned a 1961 Cessna or 12 years and my CH701 for the last five, these have
been equipped with the same KY97a radio and I have never turned the radio off
before starting the plane or any of that stuff that basically wears out the
switches and volume controls. I can't think of a better way to test a radio than
the O-200 with the pull starter!
But I've seen a high proportion of the newer radios with warnings about requiring
an avionics master switch, large capacitor ( a problem in itself because that
will render the CB / fusing inadequate) and these are the radios that seem
to scramble their insides on a regular basis.
Not sure if that gives any insight into whats happened if it was my plane I'd be
retaining the CBs not adding fuses - the fact you can attempt to replace them
inflight is a danger in itself.
