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: http://puertoricoflyer.com/glass_panel_instal.html and providing more details on the blog: http://puertoricoflyer.com/cgi-bin/blog Galin N819PR On Sun, Aug 26, 2012 at 1:11 PM, Scott Stearns wrote: > Cool!

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.* Here is a link to the web page with detailed information: http://www.trioavionics.com/Field_Change.htm Galin N819PR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-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/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-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.
