Elbie,
You have me! I admit I was unaware of your product and let me
apologise. If I ask you here, perhaps it won't appear to be advertising since
you were questioned. Ferg Kyle
No offense taken Ferg!
I have never produced an AOA with a needle & Dial, though did some
experimenting with them for many years, from the late 60's to '91 prior to going
to
LEDs I attended Sun N Fun , Oshkosh, Arlington having a booth and giving
forums from about 96 to '05 and finally decided the shows were so expensive that
unless I really raised the price of my product it wasn't worth the cost &
effort. Not that I didnt' like going to the shows, but the reality crept in
that it wasn't helping the bottom line any. I have advertised in the Sport
Aviation and Experimenter for well over 10 years, could be that isn't very
productive either :-)
Our "Poor Mans HUD" is basically just that we use Ultra bright LED's, bury
under the glare shield, and angle so the LED's are reflected on the windscreen,
works just as good as the multi thousand dollar system. Think of it,
anything you lay on the panel reflects ~~ right where you want to look! All you
see in the windscreen is a little series of colored dots, all 3 green you are
on speed, amber slow, red stall warning.
Will answer other questions off line, don't want to interfere with the main
purpose of these lists, helping the builder This can be refined with a short
tube to make the light more intense and sharply defined.
I'm still striving to give the best safety product at the lowest price.

| Subject: | sight tube too aged |
Although unused, I am not sure of the condition of the sight tube. It has
small discolored spots at about 2 foot intervals.
It seems hard, but maybe no worse than originally supplied? It does not
seem to bend real easy. If I grip it with the thumb and pointer finger and
squeeze as hard as I can, I cannot get the sidewalls to touch. It compresses
about half ways. Assuming I don't need to work out and strengthen my
fingers, is this normal for this hose? What is it like brand new?? All
answers welcome. I am ready to install this stuff, so now would be the time
to chuck it too, and find a replacement of some sort.
Thanks for all responses,
Greg Fuchs

just a though, sure, shows are expensive but it is cheaper for you that
all your customers visit you at a show than you go and visit them ;-)
I'm impressed with your description of the "poor man's HUD" btw

Greg,
I'd throw it out, especially if you intend to use Mogas.
There were a couple of good postings earlier this year, where the
builders had used PVC sight tubes,
perhaps you can track them down in the archives, or maybe they will
be re-posted ( from John L and Fred K I think )

Greg,
Dave refers in part to a post of mine a year back...relevant portion as
follows:
>> clear PVC pipe w/ 0.33" i.d. (sold by ACS as P/N 03-54100, Quickie
>> sight gauge
I've threaded this pipe for some 90 degree fittings and use it for the
sight gauge proper and connect it to some flex tubing from the
gascolator and for venting....not at all sure as to how it will
perform, but I'm hoping it will be more readable and durable than the
flex tubing.
