    Excellent. In the past I've written a couple of emails to Kitplanes suggesting this very thing. Looks like the new editor is more responsive and alert than the previous one.

    Bob What do you recommend for removable connections for larger single wires, say 16 or 14 gauge? Would a "B" crimp male and female with heat shrink be ok? -Rob -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Robert L.

A piece of tight heat shrink will hold the whole thing together. Good or bad, the entire connection disappears in a wire bundle, it's so slim. Yes! I've illustrated the technique at: http://tinyurl.com/c5v2xvm Also, I recently did an install that needed power to 5 or 6 engine sensors. The sensors are all very low current and fed from a single wire out of the engine monitor, so I used Bob's DB ground block philosophy in reverse: I soldered the wire from the engine monitor to the back terminals of the DB sockets, then distributed that power to the various sensors through the other half of the DB connector. I used the plastic body of the connector to insulate the whole thing. The d-sub can be pretty versatile. The technique Dave is talking about here is illustrated at: http://tinyurl.com/kpy5acn http://tinyurl.com/jwwta9t Bob . . .

    Congratulations Sensei - I'm real pleased to hear this. For years your offerings have been shared extensively by word-of-mouth in the OBAM community. This praiseworthy development is long overdue. Kitplanes is the most respected publication IMO, for the quality of information you present. Bill SF bay area On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 5:05 PM, Robert L.

    Bob, That's good news for us Kitplanes subscribers! Here's some inspiration for writing technical articles for the average OBAM reader. http://tinyurl.com/nb628a4 Good luck on your new job. Eric Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403101#403101

Vocabulary and meaning are critical to the useful sharing of ideas. Many years ago in my own career, I remember being presented with a list of words that had identical, similar or easily mis-understood meaning. We were encouraged to tailor our writing to favor use the top word on each list, I.e. probably the one with the most common usage. In later years, we've see the rise of Technical Standard English' as a communications tool for maximizing the sharing of understanding. I think there was a mil-spec of common technical terms too. To be sure, our own culture is becoming less dependent upon comprehending the written word as the cost of producing visual/aural documents goes down. Concise use of words becomes more important not only for many of our fellow citizens but for the spread of ideas amongst our brothers for whom English is not a first language. I've toyed with an idea for another book that would compile and distill some 20 years of Q&A work with the OBAM community into a kind FAQ. This book would be an ideal vehicle for defining terms as well. Dr. Dee is helping me get the present state of the 'Connection into a single application for a completely fresh look at the editing with a goal of doing our first issue totally generated in a desk-top publisher. I'll then be able to screen the document cover to cover for certain words and phrases with the idea of bringing them into greater common alignment. Bob . . .

After a career centered on selling new products and fixing old products that didn't, it's hard not to hold an extra appreciation for the value of what I've called simple-ideas. Fundamental, unchanging truths that become ingredients that go into recipes for success. Individuals with the most rudimentary reading and measuring skills can follow a recipe for about any work product. It's been institutionalized as the ISO9000 way. Certainly Ford and McDondald's demonstrated the utility of the work-instruction for a century. But the first time the outcome is not-as-expected or the machine breaks, the short path to resurrection and perhaps the prophylactic against future failure will be guided by an understanding of those simple- ideas . . . and what caused them not to 'fit'. I've adopted the philosophy for my readers that is no different than for customers or supervisors of years past. Laying out the whole story down to the list of simple-ideas builds confidence and reduces risk. It makes us better customers, better suppliers, and more competent users of systems which are a mystery to the vast majority of the inhabitants of this planet. I don't get to fly nearly as often as I would like but you folks are my alter-egos. If I can help you exploit your enjoyment of the sport with as much pleasure and confidence as I have experienced, then not having a machine with wings on it parked at my airport is not a serious void in my life.

    Johan, thanks so much for the suggestion. Could you tell me from whom you are going to buy this muffler? I did a quick look on the web and see a number of sources. One we've dealt with before is Summit Racing, but the three versions I see there don't match the one you are speaking of. Is there a particular reason you are going with 2.50" diameter pipes? Also, are you going to run the left and right pipes together and have a single muffler, or two pipes. The header pipe we have from Jan is 1 3/4" diameter. I do see Magnaflow muffler of a straight through design (inlet offset to outlet) in 1 3/4" diameter. but with the case of the muffler 14" long, 20" inches long overall.
