Thanks to all for your goodwill messages. The final test flight, with myself
as observer, was conducted yesterday at Popham airfield and all went well.
Paperwork will go to the LAA and the full permit should reach me soon.
The encouragement and support received from this forum, my inspector Alan
Thorne, test pilot Dave Bosomworth and all friends and colleagues has been
invaluable.
I now look forward to a little coaching before that first solo in my own
aircraft.

Hi All,
Sorry about getting the weather wrong for North Weald today. My apologies to anyone
who did make it, I'll try better next time - though this will probably be
down to someone else. I'm getting my annual done, then doing a bit of essential
maintenance, so I'll be out of action for a time.
All the best, Paddy

Hi Karl,
I assume that you have checked for a loose plug cap. They will come off.
I am just replacing my bottom caps which seem to be more susceptible to
working loose. The caps are obtainable at http://www.clubplug.net/ for
$6.30 each. The NGK 5 K ohm resistor cap part no. is VD05FMH.
(Lockwood's price is $53.34!!)
Another possible cause is a broken wire at the multi-pin connectors on
the ignition modules. On early engines, there was a common problem with
breaks inside the small inlet grommets due to a tight bend and vibration.
Cheers, John

Has anyone come across this ignition problem before ? :
In my usual runup I noticed that the engine is vibrating like mad on one (L
) magneto and there seemed to be some backfiring going on.
The engine runs fine on R and on BOTH.
For example at 2450 on BOTH=2C I get 2370 for R and 2150 on L.
What am I looking for ?

Yes Paddy, it had been my intention to go but the drizzle proved to be a
damn "no no". so frustrating when surrounded by "high" ambient pressure the
still air makes for cloud and poor vis.
I'm too facing a period of grounding for some works to be done but can't yet
commit to accept the fact of "ground Zero"!

| Subject: | Altimeter/transponder question |
Cheers,
I have dropped my plans for a discrete display and have opteds to
add the Dynon D-100 EFIS to the mix.
In the process, my Garmin GTZ327 transponder was fed by the
Ameri-King AK-350 Altitude Reporter. Since the D-100 boasts the same
altitude reporting facility (at much greater simplicity) I must now undo the
AK-350 wiring.
Has anyone else done this dirty thing? - because I have not yet
found the means to disengage the old one for the D-100 features...... Your
advice rochly appreciated.
Happy landings

Altimeter/transponder questionFerg,
I just happen to be doing a similar exchange tomorrow and was doing
research on my wire bundles.
The AK used analog inputs only and the Dynon will do a serial digital
directly to the Garmin 327 which will do both. Follow your D100
instruction manual and eliminate the wire.
If you hate or cannot make new plugs easily there is a provision to add
a Dynon Avionics Encoder Serial to Parallel Converter which is a
converter box sold for a price. It takes only two wires from the Dynon
and will allow with some checking, the use of the multiwire strand you
have to use now. Basically, it takes two wires and makes a bundle that
plugs in to the transponder cable you had going from the Garmin to the
AK 350. See the chart below. Piece of cake either way. I prefer to
wire to the digital inputs as shown in the second box. Just set the
D100 program up to talk to the Garmin and it will work. In the
programming part of the manual it has specifics for your transponder and
the D100.
Just follow the instructions, it is piece of cake if you know how to
make D sub connectors. Please download the D100 installation manual
from the Dynon website. It takes a bit of study, but it frees up a 10
wire bundle. I am doing the same with a conversion from the AK to a GRT
Horizon HX which wires similarly. I have done the same with the D-10.
Alas most of my customers prefer the Horizon series from Grand Rapids as
it has a more features. But they all give you digital abilities and
fewer wires which is a plus, but more programming time.
Best Regards,
Bud

....you have come through loud and clear. I looked at the manual
pages applicable, per your message, and see that method two is the preferred
- so will carry on with that. I find many of these 'technology' manuals are
written by the 'guy who done it' and he knows what he means but sometimes
doesn't say what he means.
In any event you cleared the air and I thank you for it.
