I've evaluated a few of the offerings for
both solder sleeves and shrink-wrapped, butt-splices.
The solder sleeves are problematic. Most worked
well on clean, new wire in the smaller gages but
lacked an active flux for good flow onto vintage
strands . . . and a bit short on solder to effect
a good joint on larger wires.
To date, I've not keep any of the off-brand
solder sleeves on the bench.
The shrink-wrapped, butt-splices are a different
matter. Finding a tool/technique for effecting
a crimp is the hard part. My favorite tool
for getting a good mechanical connection on
the strands puts a rather ugly mash on the
shrink jacket . . . but much of the ugliness
abates when you shrink the jacket. Splices
with the internal melting wall of sealant are
particularly effective. I used three or four
of these under my truck last week to install
new pump/sender assemblies in the saddle tanks.
The finished splices looked quite adequate
to the task.
Play with them a bit until you arrive at your
own crimp-n-shrink process. I'll see if I
can locate some el-cheapo tools similar to
the one I've settled on.

Bob,
I have been monitoring this list for several years and have learned a lot.
I bought your book and I have built two homebuilt airplanes and wired them by your
recommended drawings.
I was hoping someone other than myself would ask what does OBAM stand for. I know
what TC is but not OBAM. I think it may have to do with amateur built but have
never seen it in print. Could you please enlighten me.

After working with you guys about 10+ years
I cam to realize that MOST of what was being
practiced in this venue was anything but
'experimental'. Further, the term didn't
register well with individuals I was attempting
to introduce to the 'personal side' of aviation.
I began to test the term back in March of 2001 . . .
it's been over 20 years. Haven't had any push back yet
so who knows . . . maybe it will stick. In any case,
I think it more descriptive of what we do here.
Bob . . .

Hi Bobby
I'm not proud of it, but there are times instead of:

more appropriate would be:

| Subject: | headset crackle part 2 |
I changed the plugs and one loose plug cap as advised by Joe.
To recap: I have a Rotax 912 turbo with stock ignition. It started with a
crackle in the deadset that rose and fell with engine power. This
occurred in mid flight after a normal mag check. Prior to this the Dynon
Skyview had been without abnormal noise.
On landing I found that the switching off the left mag silenced the crackle
and switching off the right mag made the engine run rough.
Trouble shooting today: The CDIs have two "in" connectors from the pick
ups and two "out" connectors to the coils. So I swapped the CDIs. Also I
tried to start the engine with only one CDI connected to one "out"
connector. Both CDI work with both "in"-connectors but both only work with
one "out" connector to the coils. I tried starting the engine with only
one CDI. It starts fine when the single CDI is connected to the right coil
and when "wrong" coil the engine wont start. This leads me to the
conclusion that I have a problem between the CDI and the plugs. In other
words I have a problem in the coil system or in the HT/plug area.
Agreed?
If so, what is my next step? How do I test the coils?

Yup . . .
That goes for virtually every kind
of mechanism . . . we've all seen
boats, cars, t/c aircraft, ultra-
lights, etc. etc. that we'd rather
not ride in . . .
But yeah, airplanes are especially
dicey. Seeds of the 'Connection were
sown during my first trip to OSH when
I left the B&C booth to visit a customer's
Ez out on the flight line. I was going
to put a voltmeter on his alternator.
The wiring on this thing was really scary/
Lots of zip-cord, wire nuts and black
tape . . .
