Just a reminder directed at the newer U.K. audience members, all Mods and Mod variations have to be approved by the LAA before execution. The EAA regime is very different to the U.K. Many approaches are proven, but remember changes must ultimately be compliant with the LAA permit. Your aircraft insurance cover is based on a compliant aircraft. If in doubt check with the Inspector.

It fulfilled its function and after 5 years, alarms flash on my Dynon D100 + D120. After checking, it appears that the Silent hektik regulator is out of order? ... After various searches, I found the MOSFET regulator FH020AA. I installed it on my 912S the alarms went off and all is well. I am attaching the document for this regulator to you.

It looks very similar to the Multistrada 1200 series. I'm not a semiconductor guy and prefer plug and play, but Shindengen is held in high regard for their products and I'm sure it is a good piece of equipment. I've looked at the Multistrada Type but I believe I will go to the B&C, although my Ducati spare is working well (right now). In the US it is easier to get service questions answered SOMETIMES with B&C as they back their equipment and understand their limitations. I heard that there is a Chinese knock off on many regulators that are very price appealing but I tend to shy from them. No offense to the Chinese manufacturers, but producing an electronic component for 20% of the cost of a European, Japanese, US equivalent makes me wonder. For those of you in the UK and other areas where modifications must be approved, use caution. I find it interesting that you can change regulators but not add a screw to your throttle for a stop without permission. So please consider this post as information and discussion and not acceptable for action without thorough research, appropriate permissions and guidance from certified sources commensurate with your countries policies and procedures.

The volume knob on my headset was rolled up during storage in its pouch an d I didn=92t notice. I lowered the volume on my Sigtronics but feedback an d excessive noise was still present. I have no idea how I missed this simp le headset volume verses intercom volume relationship during an hour flight but I was hopping mad and ready to yank my panel when I simply lowered the volume on the headset, readjusted the intercom volume and all was well. D uh. I really should put a paint dab on my headset knob to prevent recurren ce as I am getting more forgetful every day.

Simply turn off your alternator switch if connected to the C and see if the noise stops. If you are wired differently where the regulator is powered continuously an d only the bus is disconnected by the alternator switch, pull the C out of the regulator or just unplug the whole regulator and check.

Not even the quick disconnects or those plastic filter elements. As the dealer I kept mine stock for obvious reasons. I've never found that these were delicate or easily broken unless dropped. I've grown to like them. There is a technique, and with the setup I have, are well protected. My technique is to Loctite the fixed end of the tube, change the rubber rings, tighten the filters down, add the spring per the manual, Wrench down the ends just snug to note compression. Allow to set while I do the other filter, then tighten one more time until I'm satisfied the glass is compressed into the rubber. After install and full of fuel, I check them again after a few hours to be sure there are no leaks and press on. Operationally, I check them after fueling for debris, (with a 914 I run a pump and let the fuel run through the filters on both sides to check for debris), then change them annually or when dirty (which is never). $10 a year. I use AvGas so, I get by longer than those using Jerry Cans and auto fuel. I keep a spare in my cross country kit bag ready to go. One of my clients put a metal polished camping mirror (piece of polished stainless) under his filters so he can see the bottom of the filter easier. Nice touch.

Don't know about the USA but here in Australia, filter choice is not usually seen as an something the aircraft maker has the last word on (they are a consumable like oil or coolant choice). Further the Hengst filters are quite popular in LSA class aircraft operated in Europe. Soooo much simpler to use than the screw together type. -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501868#501868 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
