| Subject: | Re: Old / new tailwheel |
Hi
Many thanks to Graham, Barry, Jonathan and Andreas for the good advises!
Now I have decided to rid the old tail wheel. I will keep the old
wheel bearing block with a modified steering arm. That's the way I can use
the push road and the cables without modification. Is a bit heavier as the
solution according to Mode 77. But I have had 3.7kg lead in the back as W/B
compensation before.
Best regards
Ruedi Vogel, HB-YJF

The later wheel is much better. I find the spring action perfect on take off
as there is nearly no transition from ground to air.

I never notice because I am concentrating on keeping it straight. If you do
that there is no bounce!

| Subject: | LED lights intercom interference - Ferrite needed? |
Hi all
I have installed bright LED's into the cowling for improved visual
conspicuity. When the engine is not running I now have audible
breakthrough white noise through the headsets in time with the Skyflash
strobe light (which is mounted on the tail). I have had no problems with
the strobe system up until now. While flying the white noise was
continuous but I was able to partially stop it by altering the intercom
squelch. I then found I had no interference on one frequency but still
had lots on another frequency. Radio communications do not seem to be
affected. The LED and Strobe circuits run off separate contact breaker
switches. Radio and Transponder are Trig which work ok up to now.
There is no high frequency noise suppresion in the LED wiring. I will
try running the power cable through a ferrite ring close to the LED
unit. Any suggestions?
