    Ive used a similar product that is a little less refined (no hole die cut in on end to wrap a nearby tube) and found it to be very useful for all sorts of wrapping tasks. https://www.amazon.com/SJ3000-Scotchmate-Hook-Multiple-Sizes/dp/B007Y7JCJC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1 Ive always much preferred the 1/2 wide and have found it in black, red and green colors. Easily cuts to your desired length with a sharp knife or scissor. And yes, 8 is a bit long for all many / most wire bundles. The spec on the 3M branded stuff is 93C. [quote] Interesting. I've got to go to Wichita sometime this week. I'll drop by HD and see if I can find some.[/quote] I stopped by HD just this weekend and struggled to find the first product referenced, in all the normal places, like in the electrical area near the tie wraps. Finally ran across it on an end cap randomly placed near the windows and doors.

    Subject: ROTAX 914 Z 16 John Deere VR Connection
    My ducati VR charging light glows (as opposed to going out fully) for between 30 seconds and over a minute after start up. My Dynon says that it is providing the normal voltage. I am told that a glowing light is a symptom of pending failure. If this is the case I need to change the VR. (I have a bandC VR on order and will have to remove my OVP because the bandc has an integral OVP) I also have a John Deere VR which I bought as a spare. My question is about the connection of the JD VR The ducati is as follows: G - dynamo G - dynamo C - charging light 22awg and 12AWG to capacitor B - 12 AWG to capacitor R - 12 AWG Capacitor Is this the correct wiring for the JD? (product of web research) AC - Dynamo (equivalent to G) AC - Dynamo (equivalent to G) L - light 22AWG - (equivalent to C) B+ - Capacitor 12 AWG (equivalent to B) IGW - Capicitor 12 AWG (equivalent to R) Second question: I have a 12v 20AH AGM battery. I see from the web that the JD VR outputs a higher voltage than the Ducati. Is this an issue for my battery? Thanks Will

I doubt that. That 'warning' circuit is exceedingly crude . . . I don't even recommend hooking the thing up. ACTIVE NOTIFICATION of voltage abnormality is your primary monitoring system. I'd ignore the light. >I also have a John Deere VR which I bought as a >spare.=C2 My question is about the connection of the JD VR > >The ducati is as follows: >G - dynamo >G - dynamo >C - charging light 22awg and 12AWG to capacitor >B - 12 AWG to capacitor >R - 12 AWG Capacitor >Is this the correct wiring for the JD?=C2 (product of web research) >AC - Dynamo=C2 (equivalent to G) >AC -=C2 Dynamo=C2 =C2 =C2 (equivalent to G) >L - light 22AWG - (equivalent to C) >B+ - Capacitor 12 AWG=C2 =C2 (equivalent to B) >IGW - Capicitor 12 AWG=C2 =C2 (equivalent to R) Why not leave your current regulator place until the B&C unit is installed. >Second question:=C2 I have a 12v 20AH AGM >battery.=C2 I see from the web that the JD VR >outputs a higher voltage than the Ducati.=C2 Is this an issue for my battery? What voltage values are cited? It's unlikely that the JD will not be suited to task but why bother? Bob . . .

    Subject: Canopy antenna?
    Hello all, My buddy is building a light carbon fuselage airplane. The mounting of the comm antenna is envisaged in the fiberglass fin, but in order to save the 0.5 kg of RG 58 to the tail, we are wondering whether some discreet antenna could be glued to the underside of the cockpit canopy? Or maybe some not-too-lossy lighter coaxial and connectors could be used? Any advice appreciated, Thanks in advance, .-- Best regards, Gilles http://contrails.free.fr http://lapierre.skunkworks.free.fr
