A similar issue arose with a client a few
years back who called to ask about 'heat sink
grease' to put under a transistor being
replaced. He didn't have any 'legacy' products
purported to offer exceptional thermal
conductivity but needed to expedite the
repair.
I suggested E6000 . . . just glue the puppy
down. He was worried about the relatively low
conductivity . . . I reminded him that the
two mating surfaces were nearly flat . . . i.e.
the gaps to be filled were probably under .001
inches. The conductivity of air (no grease at
all) is a whole lot LOWER than just about
anything else he might choose. Even tho
the non-traditional filler had 'unimpressive'
numbers, they were a whole lot better than
air. Further, because the gap was so thin,
the difference between E6000 and the best money
could buy was probably impossible to measure.
A suggestion . . . if the discussion with
this particular dealer continues, show
him a copy of the solder-sleeve catalog
page/specs. If it's good enough for a
military airplane, it probably suffices
for a VW.

The last few emails from Mr. Nuckolls have come through with what I
assume is HTML code, but the actual text of his message is missing. Any
information regarding the cause and/or solution to this issue will be
appreciated.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty,
understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness,
egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men
admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
-John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968)

| Subject: | Com transmit blanking out VOR CDI |
I've been chasing an issue where whenever I transmit on either com radio, I lose
the CDI needle. This only happens on VOR's, not localizers.
Specifics:
Composite aircraft with foil com antennas in the vertical surfaces and foil nav
antennas in the bottom of the main wings. The antennas are based on Jim Weir's
antenna designs (RST Engineering). The com and nav radio's are Val Avionics
2KR models. Absolutely no known problems with com transmission or reception.
Never had any complaints from ATC about weak transmissions.
Localizer performance is fine. Rock solid needles, transmitting on the com radio
has no effect on the localizer. With VOR's, the needle doesn't seem to be
as steady. A little... wobbly. Tried numerous VOR's and transmitting always knocks
out the needle.
Instrumentation is Grand Rapids HXr EFIS. The CDI is represented in the EFIS.
There is no separate, standalone, traditional CDI.
This occurs whether I transmit on Com 1 or Com 2. I only have a single Nav radio
and I have tried this with both nav antennas.
Val Avionics initially said it was the com antenna "blanking" out the VOR signal.
But after hearing that I had no problems with the com performance, they said
it was the nav antenna. [Rolling Eyes]
I swapped email with Jim Weir and he basically said it's not the antennas.
Local avionics shop isn't sure how to proceed other than to suggest trying a traditional
antenna.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this and what the solution was.

I've experienced the same issue. Only Bob's posts are affected, only in the last
few days, and it doesn't matter whether I read the email on an iPad or on a
PC. I'm subscribed to receive an email echo of each individual post.

I have the same issue and it is disappointing. I can't learn anything
from Bob when his emails aren't getting through. It is only Bob's
emails that are affected. I read them only on a PC.

I've seen the same problem with at least one other poster's email, but
obviously not everyone's. When I saw the 2nd person with the same issue, I
just figured it was a 'system' problem somewhere in the chain.

I would encourage all who send emails to the list to forego using HTML or RICH
TEXT. I know if I send a RICH TEXT message, the Matronics mail host can't handle
it.

I think this is my fault, I tweaked a filter last week that might have caused problems
for messages that were not of the plain-text variety. Things should be
back to normal now.
Do however, configure your email client to send only plain-text messages when posting
to the Lists...
Thank you,

What's the best way to put an ATC fuse inline? Should I rely on a
prefabricated fuse holder of unknown quality, or is there a way I can fab
one myself?

The free hanging devices from the car parts store
are fine.
Emacs!
There are some pictures of an option for
rigidly mounting this style of fuesholder
at
http://tinyurl.com/7sguf9t
. . . but they're so light, you might
consider just tying them into the wire
bundle.

Matt, the email scrambling issue doesn't appear to be fixed. This message from
Ken reached me as a bunch of HTML tags and no content. Same as Bob's posts over
the last few days.
