To my friends on all the Matronics lists that have helped me in many ways
over the years.
Some of you I have met in person, so many that I have never met but have
been with me
through this project since 2002.
I just want to say thank you for the encouragement, help, sound advice, in
formation, photos, drawings, parts, ideas, techniques, web sites, lessons
learned, stories, debates, Scotchbrite advice,humor and especially the fr
iendships.
Many of you don't even know how much you've helped, but your contribution
and presence on the lists
have been a tremendous help.
Yesterday, I had my inspection completed and received my airworthiness cer
tificate. I'm surrounded by
many experienced pilots at Spadaro Airport in Long Island, NY to help me
through the next phase of this
adventure/dream/crazy idea. Thanks Matt Dralle for making it all happen he
re.
I especially want to thank these people from the lists.

Last week while flying my Lancair Legacy, one of my two "glass cockpit"
screens went dark. The two screens are redundant, so continuing the
flight was no problem. When I landed and back in the hangar, I replaced
the fuse, hoping for the cheap and easy fix. Surprisingly, it seemed to
fix the problem. Although the fuse I removed still looked good, the
screen powered up normally with the new fuse. However, after about five
minutes, I happened to touch the joint where the power wire connects to
the fuse block and it was almost too hot to touch.
I figured I had a bad crimp on the Fast-On connector that attaches to
the tab on the fuse block. I cut it off and tested it with my VOM. But
I couldn't find any problem with it. I soldered a new piece of wire to
replace the part I cut off and crimped a new Fast-On connector. I
guessed that the fuse for some reason hadn't formed a gas-tight
connection and removed and replaced it a number of times to burnish off
the corrosion. I replaced the fuse and it now worked perfectly.
The fuse block, the ATO fuse, and the Fast-On connector were all name
brand. The connector was Amp PIDG. There was no heat damage visible on
the connector, which looked perfectly good. And tested perfectly good.
The screen takes 2.0 amps at 14 volts and is fused at 5 amps. I have
350 hours and 3.5 years flying time on the airplane.
Anybody have a better hypotheses than the "internal corrosion between
the tabs of the fuse and the fuse holder?" The fuse block is under the
glareshield and protected from the elements.
Thanks,
Dennis

Did you talk to them about it and if so, what
did they do for you?
