Subject: | Re: Flying without the doors |
Thanks Dave, David and AirEupora,
I do have small vents each side in the side-windows, which can be removed and I
can stick the lens through. Tried it yesterday, it works fine, but problem is
that you cannot get the camera sweep for-aft in a tight turn to eg, capture
a herd of elephants. So maybe I will have another go, and take one door off as
a start.
Thanks again
Richard

Subject: | Classic 912UL Stainless Steel exhaust and muffler |
Does anyone have one of these hanging around unused, that I might buy? Or might
part with one pipe eg the Number 1 cylinder outlet? Mine is an early one; I
suspect each one is bespoke to get the exact fit, so the individual parts are
not generic to all.
Thanks
Richard

Paul,
We have an ETX 680C.
We still load test the battery each year during condition inspection to be confident
that we have at least 1 hour of endurance using just the battery. So far
the EarthX has not lost capacity the way our old lead acid batteries did.
Jim & Heather

I use the Aliant X3 in mine, I can recommend that. I have the 912 UL... A friend
uses the X4, I think with the 914.
Incredible weight saving at 1.25kgs.
The only issue I seem to have is my regulator. It runs at 13.8V and the battery
needs 14.4 for a full charge. So I'm looking into options to up the Bus voltage
a bit.

This is a positively last reminder for the annual dinner being held at
the Charlecote Pheasant near Wellesbourne Mountford on Sat 23rd
September - that is end of next week . Irene Watson has negotiated a
very pleasing menu at a very modest price and on top of that has charmed
her way into being given some magnificent prizes for the raffle,
including a brand new PLB! Full details on the club website or contact
Irene directly: Irene.watson@ntlworld.com or 01483 714096

Hi, I've not been very impressed with Dynon. My friend is on his 4th Skyview screen.
Returned one screen before the aircraft flew and another during test flying.
The other two since then.
Had the quote through from Adams Aviation today for the Garmin G3X and G5.
Sensors for a Rotax and all the other items for fitting 5,489 with out VAT. :x
That's a far chunk of cash. I'll have a look for alternatives I think.

Have a look at Kanardia. You can source from LX Avionics.
I'm interested in horizon and emsis with conventional asi, alt and vsi which will
replace an aging (and heavy) GRT hoizen and ems.
Should save me a few pounds in weight and reduce my base electrical load significantly
allowing room for a pitot heater and secondary instruments should I decide
on the IR route the future.

Did you read about the diode trick someone mentioned in this thread to fool the
regulator?

Subject: | Re: Rebuilding my panel |
Had no problem with the Lite Explorer MGL. Fits well within the panel. One can
redesign the screen presentation to suit your own requirements. The RDAC I installed
aft of firewall to keep away from engine heat and contamination. Very well
priced and equiped with all the information needed plus more. Has been reliable
and easy to install.

Yes, I have. I've spent the evening trying to work out how it works on the standard
Ducati Regulator of the 912.
Can anyone share the secret? My googling comes up blank.
Obviously, it's something to do with the voltage drop across the diode fooling
the regulator, but I don't know enough about how voltage regulators work to understand
it, or how exactly to wire it in. I guess it's not hard, but I don't
want to $%^ up a working system with a silly mistake :)

Here is how the "diode trick" works.
The Ducatti rectifier/regulator gets the power for it's internal circuits and also
senses the aircraft voltage at the C terminal. It will attempt to maintain
13.5 volts (see Rotax Install Manual, Section 19.4.2). That is a little low
for a lithium battery.
A basic characteristic of all silicon diodes is that a diode will have a voltage
drop of .6 volts. So by inserting a diode in the wire to the C terminal, when
the Ducatti tries to maintain 13.5 volts, the actual voltage output will be
.6 volts higher, or 14.1 volts. Take the wire off your C terminal, connect it
to the anode lead of the diode (the end without the band) and connect the cathode
lead of the diode to the C terminal of the Ducatti. Most any generic diode
will work, it must have a current rating of around 1 amp. I used a 1N4001.
Hope this helps.
Jim Butcher

I can recommend GRT Avionics. Great support and less expensive.
