    Hi! Richard/all I have it from Andy Draper that Issue 4 is to do with the use of Loctite. However I also have assurances that those with my PFA approved Torque Tube clamps are exempt from the Loctite requirement. ...Not sure yet about the 10 hour inspection requirement.. however.

    The PFA advise that the CAA were too quick off the mark and the Issue 4 will be on its way to all owners hopefully by the end of this week. Steve Pitt #403

    Subject: Panel Autocad drawing
    From: "Bill &amp; Sue" <Billandsue@billbell.co.uk>
    Does anyone have an Autocad drawing of the panel they'd be prepared to post please? I was intending to potter about with an Autocad drawing of my panel partly because I'm a bit limited on what I can do to the plane until I find a new workshop and also as an exercise to familiarise myself with Autocad. I took some measurements of my panel and drew up a blank -which is clearly wrong! I must have cocked-up the measurements but re-measuring it involves two hours driving at present... hence the request. Thanks Bill Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=142961#142961

    Alfred, Thanks Alfred, that's exactly what I need but, despite your extremely swift response, Vaughn Teegarden just beat you to it!- I've just responded to a similar offer from him. So it's very kind of you and much appreciated, but I should have his files shortly. Best wishes Bill Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=142970#142970

    Bob, I understand from Francis Donaldson that the CAA were a bit ahead of the game and that PFA 247/FSB-004 Issue 4 is being distributed and will be posted on the PFA web site tomorrow. The use of Loctite will then allow the 10 hour inspection to revert to an annual inspection. I asked Francis specifically about your Torque Tube clamps and the 10 hour inspection, and he said that you would have to make a case to the PFA for aircraft fitted with your clamps to be exempt from the 10 hour inspection -- no doubt he would wish to know how many aircraft had been fitted and whether any player had been found during the 10 hour inspections already carried out. Please argue your case with Francis: you don't need to convince me of the effectiveness of your clamps.

    Subject: MPD 2007-005 R1.....implications with Torque Tube Clamp
    Mod. Hi! All who have invested in my Torque Tube Clamp Mod. I am not aware of anyone finding tail plane slop after fitting my clamps (except those who I attended to on a recall basis due to Europa using differing tube sizes.) It seems I may have to comply with the PFA and prove none have shown slop since fitting although I clearly understood to the contrary by my conversation with Andy Draper. You have all completed the slop checks on the 10 hourly requirements presumably at great inspection expense and are therefore aware of any slop to aircraft fitted with the clamps. Please e-mail me immediately EITHER WAY and advise should you have experienced such problems with the clamps fitted or continued satisfaction with NO slop.( my e-mail address is :- ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk Without this information served on a plate to the PFA I expect the "ostrich approach" to prevail with regard to 10 hour inspections! So it is very much in your interests to mail me urgently. Sorry for this nuisance request.

    Subject: New Prop / Cooling
    Of course it's hard to tell (As the temps have dropped in Tennessee) but I believe I've solved my cooling issues with the new Sensinich prop It appears as though it's made a big difference. If your not going with the warp drive then I would strongly consider this new carbon fiber prop. Same 3000 ft same 5400 RPM's I am seeing 130KTS instead of 120 on my tri-gear Gold Rush. At 5000 RPM's it holds 120KTS at 65 degrees outside. I now have another issue. Can anyone tell me the allowable CHT spread? I'm seeing 50 to 80 degree spreads and couldn't find the limit in the manual. Any info would be appreciated. Regards, Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush 95 hours and climbing slowly.

    Hi Paul I will try to send you a photo of my panel that has the compass installed. Yes , I know, when you put the compass in the panel that electrical currents can cause problems. When I turn the power onto the panel, I get about a 1/2 degree change and I should be able to trim that out although in the day of gps who follows a compass that close?
