Subject: | Re: New Instruement Panel - 2nd cut |
Scott, the panel will be fully engraved and powdercoated. Mike did all the
panels for the NASA fleet of T-38 aircraft and it just so happens that the
tan color they used works perfect for my panel. I guess I will become a
NASA astronaut vicariously through the instrument panel. ;0)
I did the 2nd panel fit ysterday and will move a few things slightly for
better positioning. The Avionics master is too close to the
throttle/mixture, the GPS selector switch needs to be closer to the NAV
equipment, the two 12vDC plugs need to go down about 1/2" to make space for
the mandatory "EXPERIMENTAL" warning placard and I want to install a
co-pilot pull down air vent since when I have the iPad it blocks the
co-pilot air vent. I also powered up the SKYVIEW and started the
configuration setup. It looks AWESOME!
I posted photos on the webpage:

I don't know if this has already been posted but I found this on the TRIO
Autopilot webpage:
*Out of a fielded population of over 3,000 Gold Standard servos, we have
recently been notified of two instances where the pressed pin in the hub
(behind the crank-arm) has worked loose in the hub. We have not yet been
able to determine if this is a manufacturing issue, or a lot number of
servos that might be affected. We are therefore recommending that all
servos be fitted with a washer and cotter pin to preclude any possibility
that the hub might come off of the shaft if the pin does loosen. The photo
on the left shows the crank arm with a washer and cotter pin installed.
We consider this a mandatory change that must be installed before further
flight.
The washer and cotter pin should be available at any hardware store. If
not, contact us and we will send the components to you.
The washer inside diameter should be 5/16". The shaft is 8mm in diameter.
The washer OD isn't real critical. The hole for the cotter pin is 3mm
(about 1/8").
If you find that the pressed pin protrudes more than 1/16 inch out of the
hub, notify the factory of the servo serial number and return the servo for
service.*
