Subject: | Avmap EKP 1V sat nav and Navaid AP 1 Autopilot |
Hi,
I am having a problem getting the Navaid (complete with smartcoupler) to talk or
communicate with my satnav. I know the Avmap is sending out the correct NMEA
strings because I have a Dynon D100 and the data from the Avmap flight plan is
overlaid in magenta on the Dynon HSI.
The unit works OK in wing leveller mode to the AP1 isn't the problem.
Navaid have asked me to check the wiring from the Avmap, which I have and I have
continuity, a ground and a signal from the satnav.
Has anyone had a similar problem or can you provide any suggestions?
Navaid have said I may need to sent the smartcoupler back to them in the States,
but only as a last resort.
--------
Robert

Subject: | bonding cockpit module to hull |
Can anyone help with this?
I have a number of (what appear to be) voids in the adhesive bonding the
cockpit module to the outer skin especially in the two aft joints '
(the one
at the rear face of the fuel tank and the one aft of that).
I have tried injecting redux but I can=92t seem to make that work=85any
hints?
The option I thought of was to grind the whole flange down to the skin
and
then re-construct the join with a bid +/- 45 lay up.
Any ideas? Anyone resolve the same issue?
Thanks

If this is on a Trigear, I would go with the remove and Bid option, given
you will be doing a lot more glassing
for your gear sockets anyway, If you can get to any voids through the spar
holes then you could glass the other side as well
just to be sure you have it. Mind the fuel tank when your grinding though.

Have you checked that the NMEA strings contain all of the required data?
The NMEA protocol allows data elements to be missing, so long as the comma
separators are still present (so that the absence of the data can be
identified).
So, for example, the cross track error data can be omitted, but the rest of
the sentence is still useable. But I wouldn't have expected this on an
aviation set.

Anyone answer me this one. Having spent ages soldering co-ax onto
the copper tape supplied by the factory, I've just broked the tape in
half! Would a piece of copper wire be of similar efficacy as t he
copper tape - it would certainly be easier to solder to. I'm
guessing its the length of the dipole that's important rather that
width or section - true or false.

Try injecting Redux again by first drilling two small holes, in the
cockpit module glass only, at the outer ends of each of the voids. Fill
a 10ml syringe with the redux and inject into one hole until it oozes
out of the second. Repeat for each void.

William...sorry to hear of this but I believe it is a relatively common
result with a number of posts which you may be able to coax out of the
matronics archive. One aspect of the injection-solution is to provide
two holes into each void...one for the syringe, and one to allow air to
exit the void. Fortunately (for me), I cannot speak from direct
experience as this is one particular bullet I dodged.
Good luck,
Fred

could it be that there appears to be no adhesive where the module and the f
uselage are actually touching, well almost touching=3F and that where there i
s a gap filled, there is enough to black out any transparency=3F
That is what I thought happened with mine so long ago.

The factory should have completed their move by the end of this week. I
have not been able to contact them either. Keep trying.

Dont know if anyone can help with this, but I bought my kit unstarted
from
Harold Isberg (also owned a Mono) The foam core dates are august 2001.
Harold couldn't help me with the kit number as so much time had passed
(6
years) since he bought this second kit.
I found some old
archives from 2001 making mention of someone having a list of major
part
numbers and kit numbers.
I have concerns about getting my rego without the kit number.

Paul,
The length is the main factor determining the operating frequency of the
antenna, while the width of the conductors determines the range of
frequencies over which the antenna works. Since the aviation band is rather
wide (as a percentage of the frequency), it is desirable to use wider
conductors. It is no problem to repair a break in the copper tape with a
piece of wire soldered across the break, however. It is definitely
mandatory to fix the coax securely to the airframe prior to soldering to the
copper tape, so any movement of the coax will not transmit stress to the
solder joints and the fragile copper tape.
