Any engine instrumentation we buy has to be compatible with the Rotax temp and
pressure senders.

For any of you who have yet to deal with FWF issues, recent
announcements concerning the Gemini 100/125 turbo diesel may be of
interest. Two sources of information are:
www.amtonline.com/publication/article.jsp?id=4434&pubId=1
http://dieselair.com/archives/2007_07_01_archive.html
No response as yet to an enquiry to John at E04 as to whether the
company might be considering supporting it for the Europa.

Michel, Troy and all
We are also using a 1.5 mm dia piano wire, along with many Rotax fellow
fliers.

Howdy folks,
Not much happening on the list these days so here's something to ponder.
Today, I went to the airfield to dynamically balance an Arplast PV50 prop fitted
to a Rotax 912S on a Kitfox.
Without adding any weights, it measured 0.02 IPS vibration which is an extremely
good result - I thought for a 912S, absolutely outstanding. The carbs had recently
been balanced by Adrian at Shobdon and they must be spot on.
I was so impressed, I blagged a ride in the Kitfox to see what it was like in the
air and, no kidding, if you put your hand on the instrument panel or structure,
you could not feel any vibration at all - it was uncanny.
The point of this story is that it is possible to achieve no perceptable prop vibration
on a 912S. So, if you can feel vibration, something isn't right.
Cheers,
Mark

That's encouraging news. imho the Arplast prop blades are very good, Not
too stiff so they don't rattle like Warps do and plenty of area near the
root to help cooling at low speeds.
I have always wondered about residual vibration, you can never tell if
it is due to some criterion that cannot be balanced out. Good to have
cinfirmation that it can!

From what I can see they do require their own senders but they appear
to be identical in size/thread, etc.as the Rotax ones so switching them
doesn't appear to pose a problem.

Martin,
Be aware that only numerical displays impose additional workload to the
pilot. You would actually have to read the number and the brain has to
process the numbers and compare them mentally.
In your case, I would look for some instruments with a combined analog and
digital representation in one instrument.
Example is at
http://www.sportflyingshop.com/Instr/Stratomaster/SmartSingles/smartsingles.html .
The nice thing about digital once is that many have a monitoring feature and
will ring an alarm when certain programmed levels are exceeded.
You find also nicer looking once in the automotive and aviation industry if
you look further.
Advantage of analog representation is that you just need to have a short
look at the instrument to see that all data are in the right area. Much
quicker and less workload to the brain. This is exactly the reason why the
digital representation in a car never took of.
