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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=472804#472804 ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 05:06:56 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Battery From: "h&jeuropa" 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.
