Same here. I soldered almost everything. Using proper materials and
operation there is nothing wrong with soldering.
The only caveat is that you MUST protect solder joints from movements.
Judicious use of tie-wraps is the key. ;-)
All the internal parts of avionics are soldered as well. I still need to
see the first GPS units where the internal parts are crimped rather than
soldered. :-D

Death is just nature's way of telling you to watch your airspeed.
Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers &

There are only three things the copilot should ever say:

As a pilot only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will.
a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your
last flight.
b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is
your last flight.
There are Rules and there are Laws. The Rules are made by men who think
that they know better how to fly your airplane than you. Laws (of Physics)
were ordained by nature. You can, and sometimes should suspend the Rules,
but you can never suspend the Laws.
About Rules:
a. The rules are a good place to hide if you don't have a better idea and
the talent to execute it.
b. If you deviate from a rule, it must be a flawless performance..
(e.g.., If you fly under a bridge, don't hit the bridge.)
The ideal pilot is the perfect blend of discipline and aggressiveness.
The medical profession is the natural enemy of the aviation profession..
Ever notice that the only experts who decree that the age of the pilot is
over are people who have never flown anything? Also, in spite of the
intensity of their feelings that the pilot's day is over, I know of no
expert who has volunteered to be a passenger in a non-piloted aircraft.

Actually, I crossed over to the "dark side" on this one. I was initially
very skeptical about using crimping, but after doing some research I
decided to give it a try. The airplane has been flying since 2004 and I
have not had any issues with crimps.
Just as an aside, a long time I ago I did a class called high reliability
soldering. One of the exercises we did was to cut a cross section of
various solder joints and examine them under a metallurgy microscope. It
was quite surprising the number of joints that looked okay were in actual
fact crystalline.

All
I do for my business and to get some fuel to fly
for example all kinds of outdoor displays. I have
done since 1980 about 500.000 hand soldering
joints by myself. They all are outside in very
hard conditions; humidity 30-100%, sometimes under
water, temp varies -40...+100 (yes - you can fry
an egg there over the black aluminium plate), some
of them are a bit shakeing and so. None of them -
I repeat - none has ever broken. If a soldering
joint is well done, it is so forever. At least
when I complete it (or my wife)!
I wish I had a photo of my "main bus" and "sub
busses". Some of you will got a heart attack if
saw them. Buy your medicine - I will some day show
you.
Is not that strange that in aviation there are
many so old but still valid techs like this (to
crimp)?
For example it is awful that we have fuel in the
cockpit. Think about every Cessnas or Pipers
primer or those oil pressure gauges which bring
hot oil over your knees. And sometimes to your
knees. Our fuel filters under our ashes or that
grazy sight gauge. (Thanks Frans - I WILL
ELIMINATE IT ASAP).
Generating heat in a plane is easy to do from the
muffler. That is dangerous. I hate my heating
systems and have that is why a CO-detector. Should
make a heater via radiator. Next winter?
We - as an experimentalists - are the sharp point
of the development. Lets be brave and do our job
as well as we can.
Of course I do understand: old way is usually more
safe than a pack full of new but not so much
experienced way.
Still, some habits should change - let us step
down from the elephants bone tower...

Subject: | woodcomp install on G-umpy any tips ? |
Got me a nearly new david joyce style 3 wide blade woodcomp and a smart avionics
controller.
Any tips for installation and/or operation?
I have the inserts on the prop 912ULS flange for the warp drive do these need to
come out I wonder?
I presume I can put the Manifold pressure sensor behind the dash, keep the wires
short and pipe the pressure tube through the firewall?
Install seems straightforward.
I seem to recall mr Carl P turning his to manual regularly during our flight in
his to stop the motor working all the time.
How useful is the extra external LED which shows the motor driving?
Comments appreciated as always.

Subject: | RE: Europa-List: Europa for repair on AFORS |
Ha an interesting little winter project I'd say. Sure, change the engine, and mount,
remove the paint where the stress is. It must be possible to repair the
fuselage foam, the main weight bearing section looks in tact. As for the small
section of leading edge - folks must have repaired worst.
I'm suffering from empty shed syndrome - tempting.

Subject: | Re: woodcomp install on G-umpy any tips ? |
Graeme, I trust it will work for you as well s it has for
me! Certainly it needs inserts in the prop flange, but I
don't know whether the Airmaster ones are the same size,
although I guess they are. But if hey have supplied new
ones I would knock the old ones out & use he new.. As far
as I am aware you can put the pressure sensor anywhere it
fits. I ended up with ferrous fitted to the wiring to mine
to stop radio interference, but as I am in Rome (via
Nimes, Corsica & Elba) with mr Smart Avionics, I will pas
your email in front of his nose and see if he has anything
to add.
Regards, David.

PS , I only switch mine to manual if I am in a long cruise
at uniform altitude in thermic conditions, where the pitch
change motor gets to do a lot of unnecessary work. David

Oh Yes, of course!
Are there really pilots who have done IT two times or really even
more???
Raimo
Here was an accident were there was an instructor and his student. They
were practising some low level fly-byes. That irritating alarm which
asked =9Cplease have your gears=9D was too irritating. So,
he elected to switch it out. When they finally landed really, they did
it as clean as new born baby. That was a two engine machine. Place: EFHF
