Bob -
Do you have a schedule for classes that are coming up this year? I would be
interested in attending if possible.

I do them by invitation. If an EAA chapter
wants to host one and has the facilities, I
work with them to fill out the class roster.
I've not done one for and EAA chapter in some
time . . . the last two were for clients . . .
but "have program . . . will travel" . . .

Speaking of crimping and soldering, I have been trying to fi
nd some 3 row, 20 pin d-sub connectors for my
Link trainer for three years. Does anyone on this list know where I can
find some of these ?

I am working on the Pacer Project that is certified and will be for
sale. And I am doing research and gathering parts for the Wagabond we
discussed on the phone awhile back with the extended baggage area. It
will be my =9Ckeeper=9D airplane and Light Sport. So if you
have any classes anywhere, I will try to make one. I know I can make
things work using the =9CConnection=9D, reading and working
out the details, but it does shorten the learning curve a lot to get
some instruction!

Google "HD-20 D-sub" and take your pick from the many electronics suppliers
that have them (digikey, mouser, element14, rs-electronics etc)
I'm hoping this is the 20 pin d-sub connector you're looking for.

20 pin? Wow . . . that's a new one on me.
The only three-row connector I've actually
seen in the smaller shell sizes is the 15
pin VGA video connector that was common to
the computer industry for years. I've read
about some 19 and 22 pin connectors seen
on Mac and Commodore computers . . . probably
specials.
Are all 20 pins used? Could you punch out
the hole and change it to a 25 pin from
the more garden variety options?
Bob . . .

Maybe you could use the services of someone with a 3d printer. Is the
housing itself the only difference, or does it use different pins too?
