I have installed a Rotax 912 ULS in a Highlander and have used VDO oil
pressure and oil Temp. gauges. I have connected the + and - and the
sender wire, as shown on the wiring diagram, but I am showing a ground
short between all the pins and the power buss bar. Has anyone else run
into that problem or can Bob shed some light on the problem? I've run
out of ideas, and I haven't talked to anyone else that knows anything
about the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Roger

Subject: | Lear L2 autopilot removed |
Long ago I gave up maintaining a Lear L2 autopilot that was installed in my 1957
Piper Apache. I believe that, as of this week's annual inspection, all of the
scattered components have actually been removed from the aircraft. It was a
three-axis autopilot with selsyn pickoffs on elevator and ailerons. Approach coupler
and altitude hold worked in its early days. The attitude and heading gyros
with pickoffs are no longer available.
Having worked on the box for a couple of decades I can guarantee that it will never
become airworthy again. The 300 volt rotating motor generator and the magnetic
clutches are shot. It's all done with vacuum tubes and the sockets were
giving me pains.
If anyone is interested, perhaps for parts to support a still-working unit, please
contact me at user dmcnutt with the same domain as my list address. I'm willing
to pack it up but you would have to pick up the cost of UPS or other shipping
from zip code 80919. I estimate about 75 pounds.
In a week or so I am going to extract the cute things - like selsyn motors - and
junk the rest.

I would pay the shipping. If that works for you I could use it. Mike 612-590-8604
