I am reposting my message from a couple of days ago as I realized that i
t should not have included language regarding archiving. Difficult to a
dd to the list if it isn't retained in the archives. Also, are there an
y plans for a Europa Dinner or gathering?
Folks,
With less than two months to go before Sun-N-Fun I was wondering if we
can start a list of who all will be attending, when, and contact info.
I
can start off with myself and others can join in.

Hi Frans
I just received torroids from Aircraft Spruce (for Quickie Antenna kit). Do you
by chance know why one side of the torroids are painted white? The torroid was
painted green by Mfg. then they painted one side white.
If I slip them on antenna cable (no multi turn choke style wrapping going on),
is there a prefered way to install with regard to white painted side?
Another question on your install, you put 10 turns and more torroids by baggage
bulkhead, could you have put those 10 turns and more torroids by radio?
I appreciate info you have given!
Thx.

I have to admit that I'm not an expert on torroids. I think this is just
a color coding, to describe the parameters of the torroid. For our
purpose, these parameters are not really critical.

They are equal on both sides.

No. You want to isolate the antenna from the outside of the cable. If
you would put the torroids on the radio end, this would mean that the
entire length of the antenna cable is granted to receive and radiate to
the adjacent cables. This is exactly what you would like to prevent.
Let me know what difference you experience with these changes.

Hi All,
I also will be attending Sun-N-Fun. I'll leave dates out for weather
but if we get a good forecast I'll be flying Gold Rush in. If not I'll
be flying commercial into Tampa.

Subject: | large mag drop on both mags, 912uls |
Hello all,
On first running my new 912 uls a couple of weeks ago, I got a mag drop
pf just over 500 rpm on one mag and just under 600 rpm on the other mag,
starting at 4000 rpm. All else was OK; oil temp and press, EGTs, CHTs
etc, and the engine ran quite smoothely; even on 1 mag with the rpm
drop it was not obviously rough or misfiring. Prop is Airmaster,
operating correctly - testing done on fine pitch.
Our local Rotax man thought it was probably not a real mag drop but a
tacho problem, though it sounded real. So yesterday we checked it with
an optical tacho and it was real. The optical tacho showed a rpm drop on
the prop from 1700 down to 1490, which is equivalent to a 500 rpm drop
on the engine.
Another rotax owner here suggested it might be the mag ground leads
shorting to the screen, as I had left the screen quite close to the end
of the wire where it enters the ignition modules. So today I stripped
the screen a bit further back, disconnected the screen ground and
connected the mag shorting wires to 2 temporary switches, bypassing the
ignition switch completely. This made no difference, still the same mag
drop, eliminating partial shorting of the mag wires as a cause.
The plug gaps are correct, and the plug colour looks OK. The throttle
cables are set correctly. The engine always starts first go, easily, and
runs smoothly. Our local engineers have no ideas, although they are not
very familiar with rotaxes. So I would really appreciate any advice on
where to go from here - what should I look at next?
Thanks,
Keith Hickling,
