    questions John, If I remember correctly we were bantering this topic around during the winter. Do a search on the website posts for p-lead and so on. Like the battery topic, there are several schools of thought on this one. In my mind, if the P-Lead is grounded the engine won't start. Last time I checked, that was the objective. The thread was fairly complete an should answer your question as desired.

    Dan, Of course, I concur. Here's why: Coaxial cables are classed as high frequency waveguides because the energy transmitted in them is almost entirely within the insulation. An amazing demonstration of this is that the group wave velocity is exactly equal to the speed of the electromagnetic wave in the particular material out of which the insulation is made. The importance of this is directly proportional to frequency. For audio purposes it matters little. Above a Megahertz it becomes critical. "Pigtails" where the coax shield is twisted into a lead and both the inner conductor and twisted-up-shield lead are treated as separate wires is deadly to signals above a Megahertz. The shield should be terminated by any method that does not increase the impedance of the shield or the inner conductor. There are many ways to do this, but they all use some collar arrangement to terminate the messy coax shield. Any coax catalog has lots of solutions--use them. -------- Eric M.

    Hi Dan, Any chance that someone in your area could just loan you a BNC type antenna & coax for it? If so, you could just substitute. On 2nd thought, how about a 'rubber ducky' off a handheld? You'd still need a BNC to BNC cable, and a Male-Male BNC adapter to hook up the antenna, but that should be easier & cheaper than a $100 antenna. If you can't come up with a local solution, I might have one and a cable in my collection I could ship to you for testing. Another (long shot) idea is, are you running off a bench power supply, or the plane's battery? If a bench supply, I wonder if RF could be getting into the supply. Bob might be better able to address that possibility.

I would also like to know if there is a BNC connector (or proper terminator)designed to hook up to an antenna with just the threads on the bottom. Thanks DIY antennas have been successfully installed on lots of OBAM aircraft. Back in the early days of VHF comm radios in airplanes, virtually all the antennas were built at the airframe factory, not purchased. Build one of these from RadioShack parts: Emacs! Stick it on the back of your comm transceiver in place of the antenna coax. See if the 'buzz' goes away. Keep the test transmissions short . . . a few seconds. This load is only good for 2W continuous so your transceiver's output represents an potential 'overload' condition but short test transmissions wont hurt it. If the noise goes away, then quality of the feedline and antenna system is suspect. It could be a poorly installed connector at the transceiver end, at some intermediate joint, or the antenna end. The fact that you have a DIY antenna is not an automatic recipe for failure but it does put some extra-ordinary requirements on the fabricator for quality of the made-up joints. You could fabricate an antenna using one of these coax-connector-to-rod adapters that are common to the CB radio accessories market. One such article is Radio Shack 219-0961 Emacs! This product is designed to accept the PL-259 "UHF" style connector and an antenna rod fitted with a 3/8-24 threaded end. Note that this product comes with an internal tooth star washer to effect good electrical connection between coax shield and the aircraft skin. This washer needs to be exactly centered in the final make up of the joint. Emacs! You can install this style connector directly on the end of your coax but it's a bit of a chore http://tinyurl.com/2lwyc You'll also need a step-down adapter Emacs! to mate the smaller RG-400 style coax with the larger connector. Alternatively, you can install a BNC connector on the end of your coax and use a BNC-UHF adapter on the antenna mount. Emacs! Steer clear of any coax connector that is not crimped or soldered. "Twist on" or other "solderless" connectors are to be avoided. Many folks have discovered that $100 for a pre-assembled antenna is not too bad a deal. You can spend a goodly chunk of $time$ fabricating your own antenna. It's not difficult but it's not a trivial exercise either. Bob . . .

    Above a Megahertz it becomes critical. "Pigtails" where the coax shield is twisted into a lead and both the inner conductor and twisted-up-shield lead are treated as separate wires is deadly to signals above a Megahertz. The shield should be terminated by any method that does not increase the impedance of the shield or the inner conductor. I think the terms 'deadly' and 'critical' are not appropriate here. Yes, as soon as you break out a shield and center conductor from a coax cable, the resulting conductors are no longer 'coax' and they become part of the antenna. No, they are not 'ideal' connections between the coax and antenna elements. But their effects on overall performance is impossible to simply observe and can only be measured with pretty sophisticated equipment. There was some discussion a few years back about the value of adding the ferrite beads over feed line attached to an embedded foil VOR antenna. See the "foil antenna" series photos at: http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Antenna I did some work in the RF lab and found that it took a couple dozen beads to drive the 'deleterious effects' of antenna-to- feedline mismatch to immeasurable levels. At the same time, having NO beads installed produced no observable value. The observable effects for DIY departures from idea are likely to be the result of poor connection, i.e. loss of gas tight connection between two components . . . not for having violated the sanctity of a coaxial feedline. The exposed center conductor and shield pigtails simply become part of the antenna's complex impedance. Careful measurements would show that the trimmed antenna length will be a tad shorter because of exposed feedline pigtails . . . but the time it takes to "trim for perfection" will not make the radio perform batter in any way you can observe.

    I'm with Mike and Bob on this one 100%. The government uses laws, especially tax laws and now health care legislation to pick winners and losers. If our President really believed his health care plan was good for America and Americans his administration would not be granting 100's of waivers to friends of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Nobody would get waivers and all would be held to the law equally. As far as income (or wealth) distribution - not the same thing, BTW - it is none of the government's business how it's distributed and it is confiscation when they take from one to give to another in the name of "fairness." On income distribution, I have attached a spreadsheet that approaches this from a strictly mathematical model. I assume income is distributed in equal increments from 10,000 to 1,000,000 over 100 people. I then add up each block of 20 people to see what the distribution is. For a simple straight line distribution the top 20% of wage earners get 35.8% of the income. The bottom 20% of wage earners get 4.2% of total income. It's mathematics that does it, not any basic unfairness in the system! Unfairness is getting something for nothing or because of political contributions or favors. Unfairness is working 60 or 70 or 80 hours per week and putting yourself through school and seeing 50% (total tax rate in most states when payroll, income tax, property and sales taxes are included) taken AND IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH! Read "The Law" and "Atlas Shrugged." Lastly, our esteemed President said while campaigning he would met with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad any time and without precondition. That is a privilege he will give a dictator and abuser of human rights but will not give to the opposition party when the future of our country is at stake? What in the world is he thinking? Reelection and political power is more important than the financial health of our country? -------- John Keller, TX RV-8 N247TD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=345279#345279 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/income_distribution_2010_0627_180.xlsx

But it seems that in its rush to get the regulation out to the public, the FAA did not provide any path for Experimental aircraft to install/approve ADBS-B. The FAA has published an advisory circular on the subject (AC 20-165) that states ALL ADBS-B installations must be approved before use. It then goes on to state that approval requires an STC. It also broadly hints that all equipment must be TSO'ed. You all must know that STC's do not apply to us. To add further confusion, I was told by my local FSDO that all STC's for approval were not being accepted and that the only way to get approval was from the original aircraft manufacturer. I asked the FSDO if we (the home builder) were considered the manufacturer and was told the FAA felt that it was the kit manufacturer. I called the EAA, they were clueless.

    Subject: ADBS-B Out
    I wish it were that easy. Garmin 530W TSO'ed Garmin 330ES TSO'ed RMI Microencoder Air Data Non-TSO'ed. Garmin shrugged it's shoulders. The stumbling block is going to be the air data system. Unlike encoder certification by successfully completing a ground test, there is NO ground/air testing protocol yet published for ADBS-B Out approval. Remember back in the early days of RNAV? You had to fly over known landmarks and log the results to verify accuracy. That's what we need here. But that would require ATC coordination.

    Subject: Reliability of Un-certified Flight Instruments - Survey
    Dear All, Some of you may be aware that in the UK homebuilts are restricted to Day VMC operation only. A discussion has started with the regulator (the UK CAA) about extending the clearance for suitable airplanes to Night and IFR operations. One area where there is little data, and significant CAA interest, is the reliability of uncertified flight instruments. It is proving difficult to obtain any data on this subject. I would like to ask listers to help by providing some information based on your own experiences. The UK homebuilders' association - The Light Aircraft Association - has initiated a simple web based survey <http://kwiksurveys.com?u=laa_survey_World> to collect data. I would be very grateful if you could spare the few minutes it will take to complete. Thanks very much for your support. Any UK pilots reading this are invited to use this version <http://kwiksurveys.com?u=laa_survey_UK> of the survey. Best Regards, Peter

    Based on this paragraph I don't think the AC applies to experimental, I could be wrong though. 1-2. Who This AC Applies to. This AC is for anyone who is applying for an initial type certificate (TC), supplemental type certificate (STC), an amended TC, or an amended STC for the installation and continued airworthiness of ADS-B Out equipment. Since the TC STC area doesn't apply I think we are left without any guidance at this point. Rodney ---- Bruce <BGray@glasair.org> wrote: > > I posted this to the RV list and no one had any answers.

Throw out the ideas if you get one. >Thanks, Dan This is not a meaningful test. A rubber duck is a RADIATING device that floods the wiring behind the panel with RF energy. If the feedline is radiating due to bad termination, then the symptoms you're seeing may well be indiciative of a cockpit flooded with RF. Changing the radiator from a bad coax to an antenna mounted right to the back of the radio is not likely to yield useful information. You need to do the dummy load thing first. Bob . . .

This seems blatantly wrong. If I built an Experimental airplane of my own design from scratch, there is no question I am the manufacture of the aircraft. To that end, on my RV-8, when I registered it, under "Model" I put "RV-8", under "Manufacture" I put "Matt Dralle (Van's Aircraft)". Only the "Builder" (i.e. manufacture) of the aircraft can hold the Mechanics cert for my RV-8. Last time I did an inspection on it, *I* signed the log book off, not Van's Aircraft... $.02 Matt - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 170+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

    Bob, I had a bad day last Sunday, at least for my plane. Engine started to sputter at about 300' on take off. I made the impossible turn, but as Maxwell Smart used to say, "Missed it by that much". If the runway had only been 2 feet lower.......I walked away without a scratch or bruise, but now I have a little rework to do. Maybe I can come over in the trike once the summer heat subsides a bit.
