Hi Ferg,
I would be interested in the outrigger pivot mod. Please send me necessary
info and cost.
thanks

So am I to conclude that there should be two separate electrical bonds in the
plane? One for all the regular things that need electrons to operate (lights,
engine, instruments, etc.) and a separate one that bonds the various
nonoperating parts of the fueling systems to a single point that one can attach
a ramp
ground wire to and the container that the fuel is presently in when
refueling.
For those people that drive up to a fuel pump at a gas station and insert a
fuel nozzle to fill the tank, anyone have any special safety tips for this
procedure?

Tried fitting a microair transponder to my plane but appear to have problem. 2
transponders both new both do the same.
All the segments are black on the display and if you look from the side you can
just see the number underneath. But it just isn't useable.
I'm not using alt encoder etc so have connected just the 2 live pins and 2 ground
pins.
And Aerial of course

Anyone any ideas

Kevin,
Use the backlight by pressing the ON button lightly once for the first level of
backlighting, and twice for the second level of backlighting.
In the instructions.
Cheers,
Tim

Does everybody have 2x12ft sections of 1inch section steel tube?
If not then how did you weight the panel for the bonding process?
Thanks

Dave, figure 10 on page 27-12 shows both washers location. Step 14 tells how
the second one goes in.

There is no need for the A/C's electrical system ground be involved, but
a practical consideration is that airport fueling personnel will attach
the bonding wire to the exhaust pipe. One need minimally only bond the
metal filler opening, so I suppose one could placard the filler to that
effect and provide a means of attaching the clip.
If by "bonding the various nonoperating parts of the fueling system"
means other than the filler cap, then I believe that's more hazardous.
What will happen is that any static accumulating in the vicinity of
those metal parts will be sent to the filler cap, unnecessarily raising
its voltage potential. If the filler cap is also earthed in some way,
then there's no hazard. Even one's body can drain off the charge if the
conditions are right. However, it's best to leave any static deep
inside the system, and this is the reason that filling an ungrounded
metal can is more hazardous than a plastic container, where static
charges tend to remain where they accumulate.
