Trouble is, the D100 out line is in a two-wire coaxial shield and the Transponder connection is a single wire solo. If you have successfully connected the two, could you please tell me how you did it? If Dynon think it should be shielded, and Garmin think it needn't - what's the answer? Both these leads are AWG24 at the most and so require fairly solid lagging to prevent vibration effects. Any assistance would be most appreciated. I seem to be thwarted at every turn. Regards, Ferg ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:09:26 PM PST US From: Andrew Sarangan Subject: Re: Europa-List: Best way to store araldite 420 after opening the cam That's an interesting procedure, and brings up the question if these epoxies are better stored under vacuum to prevent long term oxidation. There is a kitchen product called pump-n-seal which is used for vacuum sealing food jars. I wonder if that would be of use here.

Stored at over 70f Will ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:49:39 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Navaid servo, full left aileron From: "zwakie" Update: Today I made a 1:45H flight for doing the in-flight adjustments for the EZ Pilot II. Conclusion is fairly straightforward: once I found the sweet spot for servo neutral (which took me about 5 minutes), I did not have to make any adjustments to CRS and TRK tracking or PULL-IN settings. Maximum deviation observed in CRS mode was 1 degree. In TRK-mode it was 0.02NM maximum . I also tested manual clutch override and simulated CRS deviations with subsequent INT. No surprises there, all worked as advertised... One feature remains to be tested: emergency 175 degree turn. Given todays observations I trust that to be worknig by the book as well... -------- Marcel (Europa Classic Tri-Gear PH-MZW) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=351343#351343 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:39:39 PM PST US From: Karl Heindl Subject: RE: [SUSPECTED SPAM]RE: Europa-List: Best way to store araldite 420 after opening the cam I am still using Araldite 420 that is 10 years old and still as good as new .

The opened can of hardener does change color, to wine red, and eventually to a blackish red. It is a bit disturbing to see this color on laminations, but the strength appears to be good as new. The sealed cans (which also sat for 10 years) also show a slight red coloration, but not nearly as much. I think a vacuum sealing method for storing these epoxies would be a useful addition. I saved opening the araldite 420 until bonding the cockpit module, and for all other jobs I've been using the 50ml version of epibond 420.

The exit spout for the hardener allows one to finely control measurements during the weighing process, since it is a small diameter. Think of the spout as being of the type that comes on a caulking tube, with a cap on it. My Storage temperature is thermostatically regulated to about 65-70 degrees (heater is just a light bulb, like others have done, which works fine in the small area), except for a few months in the summer, where it might see a little more. The resin (the stuff that looks like Lemon Meringue pie filling) is the only component I have seen degrade (visually)...it can start to look a little gritty, but I think it can be re-constituted by placing the can into a pot of water, and heating slowly.. With regards to the unopened stuff: In the past, I have seen the shelf-life expiration date come close to 2 years out. Lately, the expiration is only 6 months out, even on fresh batches, that have just started their shelf life. That's too bad, since now the stuff is twice as much :( Not sure, but am thinking the manufacturer is covering their tail for the product having been stored in the most extreme conditions, i.e.. Very High or cold temps, etc ...but my guess is that it will probaly store much longer.. Greg __________ Picking up on the deterioration of the hardner - do you have data on that? How many months?
