The 9024 release is not imminent. If you'll order
the crowbar module for now, I'll trade it out with
you later when the 9024 is ready to go to production.
Too many squeaky wheels!

I installed one of B&C's wig wag units, and wired it per page 2 of Bob's diagram
(separate switches for the landing and taxi lights, and an S700-2-3 wig wag
switch)
I can not get the system to work properly.
The landing and taxi lights each come on with there respective switches (the bulbs
are definitely working). When the wig wag switch is turned on, both lights
go out, and a split second later only the taxi light comes on, and no wig wagging.
I have double checked the wiring and switch diagrams, and the continuity of all
wires and feel that everything is hooked up correctly. I switched the two light
wires on the wig wag unit and now the landing light only comes on.
I purchased and installed a new, identical wig wag unit from a local auto parts
store (Tridon EL13 A-2) No change...
I am using two Trail Tech HID lights. 30watt 1850 lumens.
Any ideas?!
Thanks!
Tom

The flashers used in this system depend on fairly low voltage drop continuity thought
one of the lamps . . . even when it's off. Hence, the system I published
is tested only for use with incandescent lamps. Further, SOME HID system don't
like to be flashed. Try hooking some ordinary 12v lamps in place of the HID
fixtures. Tail light lamps work. See if the system functions then. Also, check
with the folks you bought the HID system from to see if it's okay to flash it.
If flashing is okay, then you might get things to work better by paralleling one
of the lamps with a 10 ohm, 25 watt resistor.

I will suggest it is even more valuable than a magazine.
Magazines are edited and published by entities who measure
their success in paid subscriptions. Their end product is
to get paid for having sent X-pounds of paper to your mailbox
and getting paid for it. Whether or not any particular
issue has information of immediate value to your building
efforts is a dart-throw. On the Lists, we measure success
by how many new airplanes fly, how many dead alternators
are resurrected, how many hard to find parts have been
chased down.
This is the reason why I consider the Aero-Electric List
to be a necessary extension of the book. The book, like
a magazine, can only cover the unchanging fundamentals and
introduce the reader to the language and the occasional
'project'. The List builds on that knowledge to assist you
in closing your eyes, seeing something that does not yet
exist . . . and going out to the shop to build it.
The List-Servers are interactive. You can ASK specific
questions and get multiple-answers back within hours.
The List plugs you into the collective experience and
knowledge set of many individuals. If your own $time$
is worth anything, just consider how much of your $time$
has not been expended to reinvent a wheel or research
un-useful options. More important, when something DOESN'T
work you're about 1000x more likely to get meaningful
assistance here than with any magazine. Compare your
proposed project with the wiring in a Tri-Pacer . . .
is that "good 'nuf" for one of those marvelous OBAM
airplanes?
Finally, the List contributes to a kind of education that
you cannot get in modern educational settings. In ancient
times, a prospective tradesman applied to a guild to
apprentice with a master craftsman. That master KNEW that
diversion of his/her attention from the tasks at hand
would reduce the return on investment for their own
$time$.
It was a decision that came with some risks. So entry
was selective and the demands on the student great.
But if you could cut it, you emerged with a knowledge
and skill-set that was available to a very few.
Your participation here on the List makes no demands and
has no consequence for missed expectations. Yet it adds
to your own knowledge and skills in ways that go beyond
the crafting of airplanes. So if you've not done it yet,
do it now. All those byte thrashers in Matt's back room
cost money to buy, $electricity$ to run and $hours$ to
maintain. A paltry 1-1/2 cents per day, $5 total from
from each of 1800+ AeroElectric-List members would go
a long way toward keeping the Matronics fires lit.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch so we're either
supporting participants or moochers. Just because it's
open-source does not mean that its creation and maintenance.
doesn't cost somebody's $time$. Let's do what's necessary
not just to keep it going but to make it better. That's
the way folks who love airplanes do it.
Bob . . .

Thanks for the reply Bob.
I e-mailed Trail Tech and they answered that their HID lights do not work with
flashers.
Oh well, guess I have an extra switch on my panel to find a use for...
Anyone interested in a wig wag flasher unit? I'll give it away if you need one
AND are on Matt's List of Contributors...
