Hello Guys,
-
I am flying again after being down because of whether and Transponder failu
re.- I replaced a Radair transponder unit for a King KT76A.- I bought i
t used from a shop in Calif.
-
Anyway I am still planing to send Rich my weight and balance figure when he
gets relocated.- I was not able to get any pictures of tufts on the elev
ator so will fly with a chase plane to take pictures as soon as the weather
clears some here in Denver, CO.
-
I have flown three times since I had a nightmare landing.- I decided I co
uld do it and learn what it takes to do it right.- I went to the airport
and watched the Lears and Cessna Citations land.- They come in with enoug
h power to maintain the airplane level through decent and across the fence.
- The descent is controlled, at that attitude with power.- At about tou
ch down the power comes back some and the nose is raised about 5 degrees an
d held at that pitch until touch down.- I have had 3 perfect landings sin
ce by doing it just that way.- I practiced this at altitude first and saw
what it took to hold these attitudes.- When I get a few more landings un
der my belt I might change that some but for now, I am actually touching do
wn about 65 to 70-mph indicated.- What a relief, I don't think I will p
art it our now.- HA!!!!!
-
I had an experience I would like to compare with your guys though.- I was
flying straight and level in the practice area, indicating about 140 when
all of a sudden the plane pitched up about 15 degrees, then down about 15 d
egrees etc.- It was bang - bang --bang- bang,-very rapid and-violent.
- This happened about 3 times before I could pull the power, then it stop
ped.- Question:- Has anyone else experienced this action?- Did I fly
through a front that was rolling?- Did I hit someone else's wake?- I di
dn't see any aircraft in the area.- I even turned around and scanned the
sky and no one else was in sight.- It was like flying through a roll clou
d.- I've never experienced this before.
-
At the right speed, could this have been an interaction between the wing ro
ot filets and the tail?- Anybody care to speculate?- I got back and hav
e careful gone through the-plane and I find nothing loose.

Hello Mike, If you are making in line wire to wire connections my preference
is Molex AVIKRIMP, fully insulated, crimp on, male and female, quick
disconnects. Here is a data sheet on the male version:
http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0190010001_QUICK_DISCONNECTS.xml&channel=Products&Lang=en-US
and here is a data sheet on the female version:
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/19003-0040/?qs=zb2cXSD1GSE7hqjLVfW3MA%3d%3d
These terminals will come in the standard red, yellow, and blue colors
indicating the wire gage size that the terminal is intended to be used with.
They will also come in different metal tab widths. The most popular width
tab seems to be 0.250 inches. The female version is also used on a wire when
the electrical device or fixture is equipped with male push on, or FASTON
tabs.
Avikrimp terminals also come in ring versions for use in connecting wire to
a threaded stud on the electrical fixture. Here is a sample data sheet:
http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0190730168_RING_AND_SPADE_TER.xml&part=active/0640011500_APPLICATION_TOOLIN.xml&channel=Products&Lang=en-US
These come in a variety of wire gage sizes (red, yellow, and blue) and rings
sizes to fit various stud sizes. Shop around. These are not cheap. Here is
one potential source:
http://www.terminaltown.com/index.htm
You may go a bit cheaper by using insulated (but not fully insulated)
terminals and covering them with heat shrink tubing, but unconnecting is
then more difficult.
Here is one tool for crimping these terminals:

Here is another one:

Hello Again Mike, If you are connecting to a device that has just a few
wires, say 3 or less, then connecting each wire individually is probably the
easiest. See my earlier post on terminals to use when connecting wires
individually.
If you are going to be connection many wires, and particularly if these
wires will be disconnected and reconnected frequently during the aircraft's
operation, then some kind of multi wire connector may be suitable.
When it comes to multi wire connectors many factors can influence the
selection of the type of connector, such as: cost, amount of amperage per
wire going through the connector, size of wire, frequency of disconnecting
and reconnecting, accessibility of the connector, reliability of the
connection, and probably some more factors that don't come to mind right
now.
Some commonly used multi wire connector types are: D sub miniature, plastic
block (such as AMP Mate n Lock, or Molex), and circular types, commonly
called "Cannon Plugs".
There is no "one size fits all" solution. Why don't you give us a few of the
specific connection problems that you are trying to solve and we can come up
with some suggestions.
'OC' Says: "The best investment we can make is the effort to gather and
understand knowledge."
PS: Terminal blocks for connecting to individual items spread througout the
electrical system are probably one of the least favorite ways of making
these connections.

the nearest airfield and did a low fly-by so they could check the conditio

it proved that there wasn't any impact either.=0AHaving discussed this at
length with several other pilots, we put it down to Wake turbulance from a
heavy jet.- Apparently it is possible for wake turbulance to descend many
thousands of feet below airliners when the conditions are calm.- I was d

Hi Jesse,
-
It sounds like you hit wake turbulence-from something big.- It can get
pretty violent.- You might want to look at the Denver arrival charts and
see if you were under any of the arrivals.- Denver approach usually keeps
us right on the arrivals and they slow us down when we get around 30 miles
from DEN so we're clean and slow which makes for maximum wake.

Hi Mike,
-
I used Amp CPC connectors, series 1.- My philosophy was that everything s
hould have a quick disconnect connector on it.- Landing lights, fuel send
ers, trim servos, etc.- I also have a 16 pin connector at-each wing roo
t and six 16 pin connectors between the instrument panel and fuselage so I
can remove the panel easily which I've had to do a lot more times then I ev
er thought I would.- I also put bellcrank bearings on the panel so it can
fold down which has made things much, much easier.
-
www.mouser.com has them.- It's a bit hard to find them on the website, bu
t if you click on the catalog tab and look on page 1288 they are there.-
-
I attached a picture of what I did.
-
For me the electrical stuff seemed overwhelming initailly, but it ended up
being the most fun part of the project.-
-
I got pretty much everything electrical from mouser or http://www.bandc.biz
/
-
The military surplus places have great deals on wire sometimes.- Don't bu
y anything electrical-from aircraft spruce.- They don't even spool the
wire.

Scott

I was having to replace the original Gas springs every year or two. A
fellow builder told me he recharged his. I found a piece of steel pipe
and two end caps and put a Schrader valve on one end. I put some thick
goo on the threads and filled it compressed air and checked it for
leaks, I found some leaks and tightened the caps more, no leaks. I then
filled the pipe with Nitrogen, from my brothers bottle that he uses to
fill the struts on his Bonanza. It worked great! I haven't had to re
fill them in the past three years.

Hello all...
I've been looking for a set of replacement gas springs for my
2-place and finally found them. The company does not normally stock
this size, but their canadian distributor has them in stock right now.
They're called Normont Systems, 1-800-465-3678. They were just over $50
for a pair delivered. Part number is NSE400V20CE.
I'd recommend ordering a pair now as the minimum order is 100 if
they don't have them in stock and they normally don't stock this part
number according to the sales guy.
Cheers,

Thanks for the comment Scott,
I would have been about half way between Centennial and the flight path
into DIA at about 7500 ft. There was a front moving through that day and I
wonder if that might have had something to do with it. Any way I put the
new with fillets on my plane and wanted to make sure that wasn't the culprit.
Since no one else has had the problem I suppose that could have been it.
I can certainly attest to the fact that this is one whale of a strong spar
to have survived that. I'm glad I wasn't in one of those others that are
loosing wings.

Hi Jesse,
It sounds like you hit wake turbulence from something big. It can get
pretty violent. You might want to look at the Denver arrival charts and see
if you were under any of the arrivals. Denver approach usually keeps us
right on the arrivals and they slow us down when we get around 30 miles from
DEN so we're clean and slow which makes for maximum wake.
