| Subject: | Re: Fuselage Access |
Nigel,
Well, not exactlY :^)
I did add a string of LEDs behind the new sight gage when I replaced the
old, leaking, fuel tank:
While doing that I used the remainder of the LED string inside the
tunnel for work illumination. No pictures of this, but I can take some
next visit to the aircraft if anyone is interested. I=92m also
considering the addition of another LED string to the interior aft
fuselage, behind the =93D=94 door for additional interior work
illumination. The LEDs provide plenty of light, can be dimmed and use
very little power.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
Bob Borger

| Subject: | Fuel tank expansion |
All=85I came across this note in my build log, written several years
ago:
> Reports of tank bulging, splitting, and leaking; cause not yet
definitive, though appears to be exacerbated by high ambient
temperatures, draining and allowing tank to be empty for extended
periods. =93Fix=94 to be augmented with sloshing agent (yet to be
determined) treatment using =93fill, rotate, and drain=94 technique
intended to coat tank interior and prevent fuel from being absorbed into
tank material, the root cause of tank expansion.
Tank had already been installed at time of writing=85my kit # is A-194,
purchased in year 2000...I=92ve yet to put any fuel in my tank, but
expect to do so in the near future. I do have a rig with which I can
rotate my fuselage and create a certain amount of =93sloshing=94.
My question is:
Was a =93sloshing agent=94 which would reduce fuel absorption ever
discovered, or is my note just a bit of wishful thinking?

All,
In my as-yet-non-airworthy Europa, I=92m about to replace the RG58 coax
originally installed for COM and XPNDR antennas. Both my newly purchased
COM and (mode =93S=94) XPNDR are part of the Dynon SkyView suite. Dynon
sez the RG58=85though perhaps adequate for the COM...will be very
unsatisfactory for the XPNDR, and the folks there refer me to =93Antenna
Cable=94, p. 230, (chap 11-p.12) in the SkyView installation guide where
various coax cables are considered.
(I cannot seem to include a link to the SkyView Installation Guide)
On p. 231, (chap.11-p.13) there is a chart which appears to state that
RG400 (M17/128) is fine IF its length is less than 8=92-4=94. I find
that this M17/128 is the spec. for the RG400 sold by suppliers like
Aircraft Spruce, SteinAir, and B & C.
The chart also lists an RG304 for lengths up to 12=926=94, and RG393 for
lengths up to 17=92-3=94.
There is also a link below the chart to manufacturer=92s data which is
more specific=85there is clearly a special realm reserved for coax
cables.
I=92ve located a source for the RG393 where I can buy a minimum of 100
feet at $6.89/ft=85and I=92m having trouble swallowing.
I=92m skeptical of the notion that SkyView customers are using coax
other than the widely available RG400 (M17-128), and I=92m VERY
reluctant to spring for this RG393. I do intend to replace ALL of my
RG58.
Can someone who has some keen knowledge on this subject give me some
guidance?
=85with appreciation,
Fred

Sounds like gilding the lily to me.
It's just a question of attenuation at the
1 GHz range. My SL-70 uses RG-400 just fine. Is Dynon suggesting that
their transponder output power is weak and they need every femtowatt to not
be lost in cable?
