The winmail.dat file is a proprietary file produced by Microsoft Outlook. Outlook
is the only program that can open it. If you use any other mail program,
you're kinda outta luck. There are some programs that will interpret it. The
Outlook user that sent this file should change the settings in Outlook to attach
native files rather than the winmail.dat file.

An interesting article, both for the technology described
and the information that give rise to pondering return
on investment/reliability.
Without a doubt, the industry's ability to put a host
of features into a small package is inarguable. From
the perspective of a user of such features, there's
a question of value. A second, and equally important
consideration is the consideration of risk. Few failures
in 4-wheeled vehicles pose concerns for life-threatening
failure . . . at least today. I'm reading mumbles
about all electric braking . . . and steer by wire
system being proposed for automobiles.
The longevity of exceedingly complex consumer products
speaks to advances of an ability to produce but
most markets for complex systems have little need to
worry about cost of ownership and gross reliability
issues that concern designers, builders and operators
of aircraft.
I think it is useful to watch what comes over the hill
in ground-based technologies and to ponder its utility
in future aircraft applications. At the same time,
I am cognizant of my own motivations to climb into
an admittedly risky machine and give up contact with
the ground. I do it for fun and personal satisfaction
as a pilot . . . whether the machine is fitted like a
J-3 or a 787 matters not . . . no, it does matter.
It takes too long and costs too much to be proficient
in a 787. Further, proficiency in a 787 takes too much
time and attention away from "flying." A talented instructor
and a J-3 frees me from the earth in a few hours in a
machine that places few demands on visceral or material
resources.
This gives rise to a personal considerations of what
features we should expend time, talent and resources
to acquire . . . and what we can live quite nicely
without. Each of us has to make the trade off between
design goals and expenditures. The Volt is one example
of some amazing abilities "to do stuff". But quite
often, the best way to drive a nail is the judicious
and skilled application of a hammer.

I switched to Mac a number of years ago and haven't used Outlook in just as long.
I don't remember where to find that setting. I'm sure that there must be
some Outlook users out there that can help. But I do know that there is a setting
where you can switch that "feature." Also, if you are connected to a Windows
server using Exchange, the setting may be at the Exchange level.
Any windows experts out there?

According to Microsoft, this problem arises (automatic conversion to .dat
files) when you try to send e-mails in "rich text format". Their solution is
to use either "plain text format" or "HTML format". Different versions of
Windows and Outlook make these selections differently, but on my combination
there is a selection box on the toolbar where the "send" button is located
which allows me to make that distinction. Your e-mails have always looked
different than everyone else's on my computer and this may be why. In typing
this response my computer automatically selected "rich text" because that is
the format of your original. That would seem to lend credence to Microsoft's
explanation. I've changed this reply manually to "HTML" because that's what
I normally use for e-mail.

Not all holders have that much free plastic and you'll
want to sand away the proposed mounting meat to make
sure no fuse wiring extends into the boss.
I considered just bonding this holder to the bracket but
wasn't sure about storage temperature extremes. Decided
to bond it to fixture and then re-enforce the bond
with screws.

Subject: | connect 1-5 volt fuel level sender to legacy type fuel |
gage
Hi Bob,
I'm toying with the idea of installing Electronics International's new
magnetic fuel level senders, that output 1-5 volts from empty to full,
to interface with a JPI 930 or similar.
However, I'd like to continue to make the legacy 12 volt Wheatstone
bridge style needle gage work...
I've been puzzling over how to fool the legacy gage into thinking it's
seeing a resistance, comparable to the stock potentiometer fuel level
sender, via a conversion circuit that's looking at my new senders' 1-5
volt output in parallel to the JPI monitor.
I'm filling the paper with voltage sources and current sources, but I'm
not sure I'm getting much closer to a circuit design... seems like it
shouldn't be hard for someone with at least a little insight, but so far
I'm not bringing that insight to bear.
Thoughts?

Subject: | Engine Quit on Takeoff |
OK I need some help on where to start looking. Sorry for a long post
but don't know how to say it without leaving important stuff out. About
a month ago I lost power on takeoff. It didn't quit completely so
thanks to some throttle blips and altitude I made the "impossible turn"
and got the plane back on the ground and taxied normally to the hangar.
First we checked the fuel system, doing fuel flows every conceivable way
we knew how. Even tied the tail down and ran one in a "climb out
attitude". All flows seemed to be normal.
The next thing was to download the Dynon data log. In looking that over
it became apparent at the time of the incident I was producing 62 Amps
and 20+ Volts. This would last for a few seconds and drop to a more
normal range then spike again it did it several times. It appeared that
the spikes were when the engine wasn't running.
The next was checking the P and E mags. Brad after hearing my story
suggested I send them in. They found the circuit board in the P-Mag
wasn't reliable. Both mags had been subjected to very high temps,
according to Brad this could have been from the engine oil temp or the
high amperage. I learned that I had the blast tubes aimed incorrectly.
They have been rebuilt and are now both P-Mags.
The alternator, Van's Nippon Denso, was bench checked twice by two
separate shops. Everything was normal.
The plane was reassembled and test run. Everything seemed normal until
I ran high RPM, 2000+. As soon as the RPMs climbed the Dynon showed the
amps climbed right up to 60 and voltage up to 20. The engine kept
running on the ground but to say the least I am not enthusiastic trying
to fly it with these same conditions.
Where do I go from here?

The alternator was in uncontrolled runaway and
you apparently don't have over-voltage
protection system installed. The last time
we were discussing Van's alternators, they
were internally regulated machines.
At a minimum, have the regulator replaced.
If you're going to have the alternator
opened up by a competent local shop, you
might see if they would modify it for external
regulation which is more builder friendly
for addition of ov protection and any-time,
any-conditions on/off control from the cockpit.
What you have experienced is a relatively rare
event . . . but the risks are not zero. This is
why legacy alternator installations in TC aircraft
have been externally regulated and fitted with
ov protection almost since day-one.
The first alternator installations on Cessnas
did not have ov protection . . . but we quickly
learned.

The holder body is solid plastic. I suppose you
could use self tapping screws in the plastic . . .
but machine nuts on a screw are much more secure.
You can thread-lock them with super glue.

What are the characteristics of the instrument?
Current full scale? It's pretty easy to craft
an op-amp signal conditioner that will apply the
necessary gain and offset to spread the 1-5 volt
signal over the legacy instrument's scale.
These tend to be 'beefy' instruments of perhaps
10 ma full scale. The signal conditioner would have
to be vetted for this much sink or source current.
If you can get full scale current value for me
along with the old resistance sender's empty-full
span I can sketch a circuit and propose parts.
On way to do it in the airplane is hook a rheostat
up to emulate the old sender. Adjust the rheostat
first for FULL indication, measure voltage across
the rheostat before disconnecting it to measure
its resistance. Repeat for 1/2 and empty. The
only reason you need reading at 1/2 is to verify
that the instrument is reasonably linear.

Thanks Stu, and these have the added benefit of not having to splice into
pre-assembled PVC lead wires.

In Outlook 2010 there appear to be two places that might affect this. In
Outlook go to File/ Options
You'll see this:

Scroll down a bit further and you'll see this, look under "Message Format":

Roger;
According to Microsoft, this problem arises (automatic conversion to .dat
files) when you try to send e-mails in "rich text format". Their solution is
to use either "plain text format" or "HTML format". Different versions of
Windows and Outlook make these selections differently, but on my combination
there is a selection box on the toolbar where the "send" button is located
which allows me to make that distinction. Your e-mails have always looked
different than everyone else's on my computer and this may be why. In typing
this response my computer automatically selected "rich text" because that is
the format of your original. That would seem to lend credence to Microsoft's
explanation. I've changed this reply manually to "HTML" because that's what
I normally use for e-mail.

The winmail.dat file is a proprietary file produced by Microsoft Outlook.
Outlook is the only program that can open it. If you use any other mail
program, you're kinda outta luck. There are some programs that will
interpret it. The Outlook user that sent this file should change the
settings in Outlook to attach native files rather than the winmail.dat file.
Steve Thomas
Can you point me in the right direction to change my Outlook to send native
files? I can't seem to find it in the help files.
Thanks,
Roger
