Subject: | Re: Excellent tailplane modification designed by Pat Tunney |
The amount will vary depending on how much work is required for individual aircraft,
but as a guide Pat Charged me 360. I am not sure if Pat has any more clamps
in stock, as he only had a limited number made.

When I installed the fuel hoses in the then not yet installed cockpit
module(supply line, return, drains, sight tube), I did not think about
renewing the hoses. Now, I realize that access to some of this is
difficult, at best.
I built my plane with a cut-out in the bottom where the monowheel would have
been (mine is a tri-gear), with a hinged hatch door for easy access to
gascolator, fuel pump, drains, Andair fuel selector valve, etc. It is,
alas, too tight to reach further back and do much there.
I know that some have cut out the bottom between the two round tank outlet
inspection hatches - see the green area A on the attached sketch. I cannot
see that this weakens the construction, but on the other hand it may not
give me the access I would like.
Has anyone cut out the red area, marked B? If so, how has it been
covered/the area reinforced? Although the very strong cockpit module
probably carry the loads on its own, this part does give some contribution
to strength. I can see ways to maintain the strength when a cover plate is
bolted in place, but if anyone has already tread this path, I would
appreciate to know the details.

I also have the tri-gear, and have the wheel well area covered with a door.
I also cut out the area A (on your drawing) and made one long oval door b
etween the two round holes . I reinforced this oval opening with thin alumi
num and glass. In addition, I put an additional several layers of glass acr
oss the entire bottom and up the sides about 6 inches. In part I did this t
o reinforce the hole I made between the normal round holes and also becaus
e a friend with an older Europa said that after a few years his Tri-gear de
veloped cracks around the gear supports. The rule is that you have to repla
ce a cut out area with some multiple of the area removed (4?, 6?). I probab
ly went over board and will see the costs of my over- reinforcement next mo
nth when we do the weight and balance (I have nightmares that I have built
a single person plane - and that person must be skinny - something I am not
.)
I would not be too happy about cutting out more as in area B in your drawi
ng - especially after the cockpit is in and you can't reinforce the surroun
ding glass from the inside. - although the way the cockpit module is glued
in means the structure is really strong.
Although my gas valve is on the top of the cockpit module center armrest I
did cut out the provided cutout for the gas value on the co-pilot side of t
he cockpit module. This approximately 6" hole does provide some access.
The other approach is to move the parts so they are accessible. I have been
through several revisions of the fuel system to make it maintainable. The
rule I have found is that it takes 1 X of time to make it work, 2 X to make
it work and be maintainable, and 3x of time to make it work, be maintainab
le and be pretty. Or maybe you can get your spouse (with hopefully small ha
nds) or a small child to do that part of the maintenance.

Subject: | Re: AC powered fin strobe |
Hi Richard,
Not the way we are used to connecting loads to power sources indeed.
I don't like the fact that your DC power supply and your strobe box are
now mutually dependent.
Mind that the optional switch drawn has to carry 15 A average and 100 A
peak (<1 ms).
But it will probably work well enough.
A power supply is generally used as a voltage source. The load takes
some current away that does not affect the voltage (ideally).
In this case usage is reversed. The load takes some voltage away that
does not affect the current (too much, we hope).
The strobe input may be an up transformer with a few fat primary
windings and many thin secondary windings.
It probably takes away a certain percentage of the AC voltage available.
You will need somewhat more RPM than before for DC to reach normal
performance.
That should be all, actually.
Regards,
Jan de Jong

It is indeed in series!
Well, my ideas on this:
The total aircraft electrical power consumption will have to go through
the strobe box and its associated wiring. All of it. This means that if
you put the strobe box in the fin, all electrical current for whatever
avionics you have, will have to travel through the wires, forth and back
to the tail.
This has the following implications:
1) you need to run very heavy wires, to keep current losses acceptable.
The wires do not just carry the current for the strobe, but the current
for the total electrical load of the entire aircraft.
2) You can not install a light fuse, you have to use a fuse higher than
the total power demand of the aircraft. Think about something like 30
Amps. If you have a short circuit somewhere but the current stays below
30 Amps, the fuse won't blow but all this energy is converted into heat.
This is a fire hazard.
3) The long wires will act like an antenna. Alternators AND strobes are
both notorious for their electrical noise. It may have an influence on
your radio.
Therefor, I would highly recommend to put this strobe box as close to
the alternator as possible. This again has the implication that you will
have to run long wires to the strobe bulb, but at least these wires do
not carry large currents.
Also be aware that your electrical system becomes completely dependent
on the strobe box. If it blows open circuit, it takes the whole
electrical system with it. You definitely need to incorporate a
short-circuit switch, to bridge the strobe box in case it fails open
circuit.
There is no such thing as "free electricity". Anything in series with
the voltage regulator will have its impact on the performance of the
electrical system. I can't judge from here how bad it is. But the Rotax
power system isn't powerfull to start with.
Best regards,
Frans

Gary,
Thank you very much for your good comments.
I will give it a try with the openings that I presently have, and will do as
you suggest - move some parts (the T for fuel return and the T for sight
tube) so that they become accessible in the wheel well, provided I manage to
get out those parts and hoses (some surgical cutting of the old hoses could
do the trick).
Without having performed any structural analysis, attached is a sketch of
how area B (ref. my previous mail) could be cut out and the strength of the
bottom retained when an aluminum cover of adequate thickness and quality is
bolted in the cut-out's place. WARNING: Not verified in any way!!
Good luck with completion of your build!
Regards,
Svein

Being a belt and suspenders guy, I would put BID on the top of the aluminum
and run up the inside of the tunnel wall to carry the load up the sides. I
wouldn't bolt it but rather rivet it (just to hold it in place or clamp it
until the glue dries - then glass it in place - you are never going to tak
e it out I assume. You can also use the aluminum and/or the fliberglass to
provide the lip to hold the door flush to the bottom and to hold your nut p
lates for mounting the door. (Wrap the door in saran wrap and use as the fo
rm for the lip - as you probably know.)
I have been working with Bud Yerly and he has convinced me to nutplate ever
ything - so I can remove stuff without a helper.

Thanks for all the posts, really nice of you all.
I attach a picture of the plane (same as the rest, except perhaps not so polished)
and Andy Draper and my inspector Matthew Boddington.

You look suitably proud Graeme, and your polish exceeds my standards,

What's the back story on your use of what appears to be an XS cowl on
your Classic?...and your prop/spinner combo is?
Congratulations,
Fred
