| Subject: | Re: Flying Scotland |
When thinking about hangarage north of Perth, think about hens' teeth. You should
be investigating and getting on a waiting list now, as you are indeed evidencing
by this email.
In Aberdeenshire you can more or less forget it. You need to be well-in with the
flying communities to stand a prayer. I run a waiting list for our club near
Peterhead and couldn't promise you anything. There might be a crowded/difficult-to-extract
aircraft slot at Deeside Glidig Club; rarely one comes up, but only
for glider chaps or those well acquainted with them.
Are you sure that you want to move here before the independence referendum? Do
you really want to live where there's a chance that the "lunatics might get to
run the asylum"?

Ladies and gentlemen of the forum, not sure if this is a stupid question or not
but I don't know the answer and so hoped someone a little more knowledgeable
than me could enlighten me with the answer. If an altimeter only reads up to 10000ft
what happens to it if you go to say 12/15000ft? Will it blow up? Does it
not have a quantified amount of air in a chamber which expands the higher you
go? The reason I ask the question is that I am going to have a glass cockpit
(dynon skyview) but need an old style altimeter as a back up. There's one that
reads up to 10000ft for 280ish but the same one reading up to 20000ft is 780ish!
500 difference is quite a lot so that's the reason for my question, that's
not to say I'm going flying over 10000ft all the time. Thanks Frank

| Subject: | Re: Cockpit heater |
Chris Piper from CKT engineering (they who make our exhausts) contacted me recently
to ask if he could use my mono as a donor to develop a cabin heater. I believe
he intends to sleeve the silencer as a warm air supply. Will post progress
when work starts.

Frank...I can't answer your questions, but would suggest you look
further for a moderately priced altimeter...I too am fitting the Skyview
and have a 2.25" UMA steam gauge (calibrated to 20k feet) for which I
paid about $200 USD.

Correction: Make that price about $300. USD

I doubt the capsule will blow up if you go higher. May be at 100,000
ft it might. Most likely the 10,000 ft limit has to do with the
calibration range. If you go higher, it may stop moving (if it has an
internal mechanical stop) or it may simply continue reading into the
uncalibrated range, but 11,000 ft may show as 1000 ft. Since this is
really for backup at low altitudes, I would just use it and decide
later if it is worth upgrading.
Alternatively, as Fred pointed out, you can get sensitive altimeters
with three pointers for under USD $300 at aircraft spruce.

Hi,
I went down the route of a 3 pointer Altimeter, mechanical ASI and Tru
Track ADI for the back up to my GRT Panels, but if I were to do it over
again I would use some thing like the Dynon D6 or GRT Mini and run them on
a battery back up.
