Subject: | Syndicate spreadsheets ??? |
Hi everyone
Just setting up a new 3 person syndicate on a Europa and I am treasurer.
I can set something up myself from scratch but just wanted to see if anyone has
a spreadsheet template they can share with me to start me off or views on the
best ways to manage wet/dry fixed/variable payments.
Many thanks
Jeremy

I second the installation of the Ultimate Ventilator. I strongly recommend lnstalling
them in the corner of the windscreen itself. (Careful not to cause a
crack)
I put mine in the fuselage side under the corner,and they don't quite direct air
to my face. Bud has installed his in the windscreen corner and the difference
is remarkable. Both these aircraft are operated in south Florida, so conditions
are often extreme.

Hi Jeremy,
My Europa is shared by 3 others and I'm principal shareholder, also acting as treasurer.
What has worked very well for me over many years is the installation
of a Hobbs hour meter. It is activated by a simple oil pressure switch, screwed
into the front of the crankcase in a ready-made threaded hole with blanking
plug adjacent to the oil pressure sender.
The Hobbs meter only runs when the engine is running, to provide oil pressure which
activates the switch. In my 20 years experience with this device and having
decided that members pay for airborne time only, they are required to record
the Hobbs meter reading at the start and end of each flight. From this gets
subtracted 0.2 hour (12 mins) to allow for warm-up and taxi time out and back.
If the engine is already warm after a previous flight, then only 0.1 hour gets
subtracted for combined taxi out and back. However if an aircraft is based at
an airfield where long taxis and delays are common, then my way of calculating
wouldn't be of much use. In which case it would perhaps be simpler to charge
for the whole period, but perhaps at a slightly lower rate.
I use a modified version of the original combined engine / airframe log sheet provided
by Europa for pilots to record their flying, which I later transcribe
into the proper engine and airframe logs. I have added columns for Hobbs readings
and fuel types to be recorded.
The Hobbs meter ensures that accuracy of flight record keeping is maintained and
prevents arguments, such as a pilot believing that he flew 3 hours when he actually
flew 4, or vice versa. I've even made such mistakes as owner and effective
treasurer; it was only the Hobbs which prevented the errors.
Finally my decades-long career as both a military and then commercial pilot, has
influenced how I log flying. For the engine and airframe log purposes, I record
from applying full power on the runway for the purpose of taking off until
the end of the after-landing roll on the runway. For my personal logbook I record
"chock to chock". Historically the difference between these times in my private
flying at a quiet airfield, averages out very well at 0.2 Hour.
If you want a copy of my combined log sheet or further information, you could pm
me.

Subject: | Re: iLevil and ipad |
I have installed the iLevil on the lnstrument panel floor, carefully aligned and
shimmed to level flight attitude. I use flyQ and the combination works very
well for VFR. We do use 2 aging ipads for redundancy.
I'm reserving the space on the right center of the panel for the ultimate installation
of a Grand Rapids or other unit in case I decide to get IFR current in
the future.
We flew to Wyoming from Vermont, for the eclipse and found glare to be a non-issue.
A small angle adjustment of the RAM mount always cured it. I recommend
RAM mounts without reservation.

Thanks Kevin for the trouble in replying.....much appreciated
I have spent a while on different mouldings fixed to NACA vents without much sucess
regretfully.. I will persue more experimentation and perhaps the vents suggested
by the next contributer.. As they say every little helps
Thanks once again

Jeremy - I applaud your preference to avoid re-inventing the wheel, but you might
want to consider options other than spreadsheets.
As a long-time user of database management programs, my own instinct would be not
to even try to set up this sort of thing in a spreadsheet. Many years ago I
used to use spreadsheets (anyone remember DynaCalc or MS MultiPlan?) for lists
and financial work, but always found their presentation and printing capabilities
very limited.
A database manager will give you much more flexibility and potential for future
requirements (at some stage some is bound to say wouldnt it be nice if we could
just . . .). Of course, if you have tried programming MS Access, that may have
put you off the whole idea of using a database manager, but there are other
database managers with a much friendlier attitude to humans! I admit to being
very biassed as I have been using FileMaker Pro for about 30 years with great
enjoyment and productivity and thus strongly recommend it, but there are other
choices such as Panorama, 4D, etc. If you want to pick my brains about the
whole concept, please contact me direct rather than on the Matronics list.
Alternatively, there are browser-based group ownership systems available online.
I have had some experience, as a flying club member (rather than administrator),
of Goboko:
https://www.goboko.com
but as far as I can see it focusses mainly on the booking rather than the financial
side of things. It now has a phone app as well as the original web browser
interface.
You might also consider something like Splitwise for iOS which is a general-purpose
multi-person expenses sharing app. I would guess that there are more like
this for both iOS & Android.
I feel that there should be something ready-made for the purpose, which would allow
all group users to enter their actions (flight time, fuel uplift, landing
fees, spares bought, etc) from their own location at any time, and also allow
the treasurer to manage monthly subs and all other transactions for the group
as a whole. However, after a few quick online searches I have failed to find
anything really appropriate, so maybe there is a niche waiting to be filled!

I have never seem one last very long in an airplane, They were popular in the U.S.
in the eighties, but they didn't last long. Service was bad, and lots of
noise.
You might check some of the Blogs to see what they are saying now.

Never heard of them!
I note that the copyright notice on their product page is datestamped 2014-2015,
which does not give the impression that they have done anything very exciting
lately.

my panel as an input to my EFIS. They seem ok..

Hi,
Following a heavy landing my aircraft has a bent main wheel leg. About 1.5 inches.
I am getting conflicting opinions as to the best way to jack up and remove the
leg.
All thoughts welcome.
Thanks.
Ian

Ian, I found myself helping in France when one of the group had a
puncture in his trigear (and I assume that is what you are talking
about). We found it a satisfactory way to get the tire off to get one
strong person to get under the (offending) wing tip and push up with his
back whilst someone but a padded trestle under the middle of the wing.
Being a mono driver/builder, I am not at all clear how much clearance
you need under the wheel to slide the the leg out, but you could
increase that clearance by having pulled the other wheel up onto a block
first and/or removing the wheel. Alternatively if you have access to an
engine hoist you can suspend the aircraft by straps around the inlet
manifolds (a technique I use on my mono) with a trestle under the rear
fuselage.
Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

I had to remove a gear leg last year - long story.
I placed a 4x4 piece of timber, suitable padded, as close to the legs as possible
along the width of the fuselage and jacked up with two bottle jacks. You might
need to use a couple of pieces of hardwood, or metal plates, to stop the heads
of the bottle jacks sinking into the 4x4.
I tied the nose wheel down so it was not going to rock.
I then used two axle stands, you need the tallest possible, under the ends of the
4x4 to support and stabilise. Both wheels off the deck.
