Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?" and that's a good question.
Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables. It provides
for the very expensive, commercial-grade T1 Internet connection used on
the List insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List
services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling
the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search
Engine, List Browser, and Forums. It pays for narly 20 years (yeah, I really
said *20* years) worth of online archive data available for instant random search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and
maintaining the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places
on the Internet can you make all those statements these days? It is YOUR
CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many aspects of these valuable List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the
best investments you can make in your Sport...

| Subject: | Re: windscreen air |
Like Ira I have a BMA Efis and a medium sized fan (over passenger footwell)
with a row of holes under pilot windscreen. It works moderately well in
terms of demisting, where I suspect that you only need to warm the air by a
few degrees to have an effect. It does not stop the Efis complaining about
overheating in central Spain in a heatwave (where I experienced air box temp
of 37.4 C/100F). I have found that in such temps the top of the instrument
module which is painted dark blue, gets unpleasantly hot to touch, and
dealing with that factor is probably more important than the internal air
flow. I have a piece of neoprene with one silvered surface which I place on
top in such conditions, but if I was starting again I would consider
building in some insulation over that top surface and also having the fan.

Hi Fred,
I have not seen plexi condensation since I install the fan this summer.
Could be the fan or the weather conditions so far.
I speculate, not having actually measured the wind screen temperature, etc,
that the fan could help but it would be slow to effect change.
That is why I keep a Sontara (Dupont) cloth in the cockpit.
It works instantly ;-) and does not make noise!

Hi, What type of Sontara cloth do you use?
I contributed some pictures to a previous thread on the subject of demisting fans - pictures are on my post at http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=74836&highlight
The fans work really well in the UK, last week it was cold and the entire cockpit
misted up. The fans cleared the important front LH screen immediately (l now
leave them on permanently).
Life saver.

| Subject: | Fuel filler tube Fixing |
Hi,
I'm wondering what method is preferred for fixing the fuel filler tube
to the fuselage. I've been told that if Bid is used this can be seen
through after painting.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Regards John

Hi John
I reinforced fuse where the Cobra (fuel filler tube) is located.
I used Balsa under the Cobra with some thin foam wrapped with BID, it will be Reduxed
to the fuse.
I think if the large fuel filler hose is loading the Cobra it is likely the cause
of problems.

| Subject: | Oil change question |
I don't usually have a problem with getting the oil pressure back after an
oil change=2C but this time I seem to have an airlock.I was going to bypass
the tank and connect the in/out hoses together and crank the engine for a
few seconds (I am not using ignition).Is that okay ?Thanks for any input.

Karl,
Follow the Rotax Service Instructions SI-912-020, SI-914-021 I get
them at www.rotaxowner.com
If you introduced air into the system and do not then properly purge the
system, severe engine damage could result.
