I have a slew of pixs which Bob sent me...unfortunately, I've only saved them in an Appleworks file, and they can't get past the Matronics gatekeeper. If anyone would like to review them, I'll send them off-list upon request.

How does the effect of the lower pressure on the exhaust vent compare with the effect of the lower temperature of the intake air? Remi >>>>>>The power increase that occurs with altitude at constant MAP is due to the drop in pressure to which exhaust gas is vented.<<<<<< ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:17:13 AM PST US From: "Robert C Harrison" Subject: !RE: Europa-List: Hi! Cleve.... For my experience I'd put the batteries on the PAX footwell and use multi-strand welding cable to the 3300 engine and starter. Keep it shortest route and nearest(save weight and loss of starting boost), with the six cylinders you will have two coming on compression together and as ever you need to get one just over top dead centre before you have a chance. I "fannied" about for 3 months on the basis of what people were shouting for me to do (battery's in the back cables etc. etc.) until I took the "bull by the horns" fitted two 13AH Red Top batteries in parallel and I just changed them one 9 years old and one 8 years. Together they put in excess of 800 hours in faultlessly (except when I left the battery solenoid on for about 3 weeks!) To be honest I only changed them when I awoke to the reality of the Rotax 914(which I now have) needing battery power for it's fuel pumps. Weight and balance was suited to the batteries being forward any way. Regards Bob Harrison.

It's sub-freezing here in Paris. The question is how to do some maintenance work on the airplane in an unheated hangar ! I am planning to attend SnF too. Remi F-PGKL Do not archive >>>>See you at SnF if you can make it... Bud P.S. It was 82 at the shop today. Wanted to turn the air on. <<<<< ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:07:02 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: No Title From: "rampil" Hi Remi, Here is an excerpt from another book: Ojha SK: Flight Performance of Aircraft. The basic bottom line is that engine performance is measured and recorded in standard atmospheric conditions which includes the temperature drop with altitude. Power output is inversely proportional to exhaust backpressure. It is a feature of all types of thermodynamic engine cycles. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=221715#221715 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/temp1_495.gif ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
