No, Jim. I think we're all talking about the same accident in Howard
Firms Purple Monster. It still amazes me that a bird could get past the
spinning prop and into the engine compartment, but it apparently did.
Howard had some extremely bad luck, especially after building another
Fox and having it burn when the hangar caught fire. Has anybody talked
to him in the past year?

I think you both are talking about two different accidents. The one I
mentioned happened to Howard Firm from Virginia Mn in a Kitfos 4. He
told me about finding the bird (I think a seagull) lodged behind the
engine. Jim Chuk, Avid MK IV, Chisholm Mn

I recall that the pilot had an encounter with an eagle a while before
that. The eagle hit the prop and went through it and hit the windshield
with no damage...to the prop or windshield. I think it was a Warp Drive
prop. Do not archive

I haven't heard a word about Howard. He was kind enough to send me,
gratis, the reamers that I needed to start building my plane way back
in Sept. of 2004. This was just one of the many acts of kindness that
I've experienced from members of this group/list. Another reason that
I gladly give when it comes "pledge time" at Matronics.

| Subject: | Re: uncoordinated turns |
It's not the torque of the engine I was thinking about. It's the fact
that
the air from the prop swirls around the fuselage in the direction of the
prop rotation. Several low and slow designs have the offset vertical
stab.
The problem with is is if you change the direction of prop rotation,
like my
582 to 912 change out, the offset will be going the wrong way.
You didn't notice yourself pressing the right pedal at cruise?

Real danger? Usually just as very extensive leading edge or cowl damage, but absolutely!
Per http://www.birdstrike.org/
Over 195 people have been killed world-wide as a result of bird strikes since 1988.
An estimated 80% of bird strikes to civil aircraft in USA go unreported.
Waterfowl (31%), gulls (26%), and raptors (17%) represented 74% of the reported
bird strikes causing damage to USA civil aircraft, 1990-2006.
A 12-lb Canada goose struck by a 150-mph aircraft at lift-off generates the force
of a 1,000-lb weight dropped from a height of 10 feet.
Starlings are "feathered bullets", having a body density 27% higher than herring
gulls.
As for a couple of reports at Kitfox speeds...
Cessna 152 OCT 2003
A Cessna 152 experienced a bird strike, forcing the pilot to make an emergency
landing. VMC conditions prevailed at the time. The airplane sustained substantial
damage. The airplane was found inverted; a quarter of the windshield was recovered.
A bird was found in the airplane. The instructor stated that the student
was practicing ground reference maneuvers at about 1,000 feet AGL at an indicated
airspeed of 90 knots. While coming out of a left turn, a sudden noise
followed by debris was felt in the cockpit. The instructor stated that the airplane
was missing the windshield and he could not maintain altitude after applying
full throttle. The airplane impacted a field nose first and came to a halt
inverted. The instructor and student suffered minor injuries.
>From an OH 58 (Jetranger equivalent) helicopter:
We were flying 700 AGL at 80 knots when suddenly there was a loud crash, and the
right half of the windshield (pilot side) shattered, sending 80 percent of the
Plexiglas windshield into the cockpit where it struck my face and chest. I
quickly scanned the gauges and determined that the helicopter was still functioning.

never heard that it had a name. With the mention of an eagle, I though it
was two different accedents. I did call
Howard's place last summer, he had some leftover paint and I needed some, b

Guys,
I have had this post on the Aeroelectric list with no bites, so I thought I would
ask it to you guys. I need some of you electrical geniuses to review my diagram
and critique it and let me know if it will work or what needs to change.
Here is my setup for background:
Rotax 914 with internal (small alternator) and external 40 amp alternator. My
plan is to have the 40A be the primary and the 18A (internal) be a backup on a
switch. Other than that it should be a standard Kitfox power system. The diagram
shows a "Generic Ford" regulator for the primary alternator but in reality,
my alternator has an built in regulator. The Rotax regulator will be connected
to the backup.
Please let me know what needs to change as I am covering the fuse on Monday and
I would like to do the electrical system next.

One of the edge connectors on the display screen is ready to go on vacation.
You will find more and more lines until you notice you only have a few white

Time to put the old unit out to stud and get a new one. In your case, like
me, get a water proof one.

I wish I could help you out Darin, but even though I managed to muddle
through my electrical system one wire at a time, this isn't my strong area.
I'm surprised that nobody responded to your request on the Aeroelectric List
because they generally jump right on to things like this. Bob himself
usually is a great help, but he's on the road a lot and he might have been
gone during this time. If you don't find the answers you need here, why
don't you try Aeroelectric again? There are a lot of aviation electrical
gurus on that list, probably more than you would find anywhere else in one
spot. This is something you need to ensure you get right (smoke test)
before covering.
Great job on the schematic. Very professional and easy to read.
Good luck,

Deke,
To tell you the truth, I was very suprized I didn't get any replies either on the
Aeroelectric list. And I agree, I need to get this part right but covering
shouldn't affect this part of the process as I have made the boot cowl removeable
to access all the wiring and fabric doesn't cover this area. Thanks for
the comments on the diagram, but I can't take complete credit because I simply
used a couple of Bob's diagrams to make it using Autocad.

Darin, It's been a while, but as I recall, the Rotax voltage regulator,
doesn't like to be without a load. It seems I read somewhere that if you
turn it off - no load - you can fry the regulator. Maybe someone else can
clarify this. You might want to put a small battery, a resister or a light
bulb somewhere in the circuit when the aux (small) generator is off line to
provide a small load. Also, I notice you have an overvoltage protection
module in the small generator circuit. I doubt you need it as the unit is a
simple permanent magnet generator rather than an alternator and run away
voltage is not an issue. At least this is the way I understand it. Bob was
a Kitfox list contributor when I was building and he influenced my circuit
design as well.
