Steve, I would absolutely recommend the ipad for getting all your flight
planning info and everything that you could otherwise do on a laptop, + all
the books you want to read, etc. - then any old phone will do to make calls!

The GPS which comes with the iPad is not "aviation grade". I also bought
the Bad-elf chip and my Foreflight app runs much better and more accurately.

I too recommend the iPad, however, I run ForeFlight on my iPhone as well and
with the GPS it works wonderfully. Very nice in a small cockpit.
BTW, if you have an iPad without 3G and GPS be sure and take a look at
Bad-elf.com. They have a chip which adds GPS to the iPad.

Gents,
FWIW, Air Guide has their FlightGuide EFB for the iPhone, iPad and
Mac/PC. Great for flight planning and flight monitoring. Plus it now
has an aviation-grade bluetooth GPS for use with the iPad. Not
inexpensive but not outrageous either. I can't rate it right now but
it's what I plan to use after I get my iPad next year.
Check six,

Subject: | Rotax new flywheel hub for 912 series |
Hi all,
This is the copy of the message I just posted on the Rotax forum:
Rotax has recently introduced a new fly wheel hub with lengthened trigger cams
which change the ignition timing during starting. This is described in SI-912-020
R4, section 74-00-00, page 1 and 4. With the new hub, ignition timing during
the starting phase will be 3 degrees after TDC instead of 4 degrees before
TDC. I am very interested in doing this mod on my 912ULS as it should prevent
any possibility of kicking back.
However I am puzzled by the dimensions shown on the drawing on page 4. The drawing
says the old cams are 22 mm long and the new ones are 29 mm long. I measured
the length of the cams on my 6 year old engine: they are 30 mm long! I also
did the maths: the radius of the flywheel cams is 78 mm, so 1 degree rotation
moves the cam edges 1.36 mm. From 4 to 26 degrees, that is 22 degrees difference,
the length should be 1.36x22=29.95. So i believe my hub is good and the
Rotax drawing is wrong.
I have 2 questions:
- to anyone who has access to the back of his engine: could you please remove the
3 screws which hold the plastic cover and measure the developed length of
the cams.
- to any one who have the new flywheel hub: please do the same. According to the
SI, engines fitted with the new flywheel hub start with the following serial
numbers:
912S: from S/N 4,923,847
912ULS and ULSFR: from 6,775,360
Waiting for your answers
Regards

Given limited battery life of iPad/iPhone, has anyone found a cord
which can plug directly into a 12v power source, and a receptacle
which could be wired into and located on the instrument panel?
(I'm told the iPad wants 1.5 amps)
Thanks,
Fred

Fred Hi!
Not being flippant but everything has a limited battery life. You are quite
right when you say the iPhone battery charge can dissipate fairly quickly
when using something like Memory Map as a navigational back up.
Possibly as low as 4 hours or less. I do have a 12V Auxiliary connection to
mine from a 7Amp Hour Battery Box as I have no electrics from the Aircraft.
It's old and basic and not a Europa.
I have a iPad at home and the battery life on that is very good, lasting
about 15 hours in constant use although it could be less as navigation
device. It too can have auxiliary 12V supply. These supplies are normally
connected via Aux or Cigarette Lighter connection.
I used a RAM iPhone Holder purchased from Aircraft Spruce. The iPad has
similar holder.
When using iPhone as navigational device turn off 3GS connection to conserve
battery life.
For iPad Holder look at:

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/ramholap8lu.php
For iPhone:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/ramholap9u.php
Hope that helps.
The iPhone is an excellent BACK UP for navigation as well as many other
aviation Apps to use. AeroWeather is a must.

Gerry
