Building a NG trigear & need some advice on avionics panel. To simplify matters I was considering using a commercial power panel such as the TRAYMOUNT EXBUS2V, LIGHTSPORT or MINI POWER PANEL as found in Aircraft Spruce catalogue. Does anyone out there have any experience with these units. Thankyou.

So much specific know how in just two replies! Today I inspected my brake setup and found it like Max expected. The toe brakes have been converted. That means screwed together and fixed anyhow. First I will try to adjust the fluid quantity. and perhaps will build longer levers. But the first problem I have to solve is getting access to the lock screws as there is no opening in the cockpit. All in all not a big peace of engineering. Will come back to you. Thank you again Juergen Kit 161 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=355589#355589 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:27:26 PM PST US From: Tony Renshaw Subject: Europa-List: Coax Advice for VHF antenna. Gidday, Ive got a bit of a hybrid, a classic with a few bits of XS thrown in. For example I've got a sternpost, premanufactured that I was kindly given, and I am now wondering if this is the structure I should be attaching my vertical VHF antenna to the front of. Now I've got the Europa kit, with torrodes or whatever they are called, and a bunch of COAX. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on the merits of building up this antenna or whether I should just bin it and use the Z shaped Bob Archer VHF antenna that I also have, and put it on the side of the fuselage? I don't figure it would hurt to give it a try, but am unsure if the Europa one is worth building, and if so, knowing nothing about COAX fittings attachment and being a lousy solderer, does anyone have any specific guidance. Thank you in anticipation.
