This was "not" the case with my Narco AR850 Alt Encoder.... I bought it 3 years ago, installed it in the plane ..... When I finally went to "Certify" the unit , the Transponder checked out but the encoder didn't.....( Oh Crap , $395 to replace ) I wrote to Narco Avionics ( Ft Washington, PA ) The guy looked up the records and knew the sale was 3 yrs old.... But I explained that I never used it....He told me to send it in.... They found a bad Voltage regulator in the unit....and they replaced some other stuff too..... I think they are a good company to buy from , because they'll do what's right.....They realize that a builder will sometimes make a purchase that might "sit" for a while....but as long as the unit didn't show "wear" or abuse....they were willing to fix it FREE..... .. .. ..

You're getting to the "professional" level now, and I know the originals are better than the downloads to Goggle.. Bugs, I hate those little things - they hurt at about 60 mph and the taste bad too. And geese, didn't I see "Geese or ducks"?? Those are the most fun to chase and take pictures of, like herding cats. Just stay about 20 feet above them, when the get excited, they can really mess up your lens. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:39:19 AM PST US From: "Larry Cottrell" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: last of the video's of Owyhee ----- Original Message ----- From: possums And geese, didn't I see "Geese or ducks"??

Lots of them down there feeding on the new growth exposed and growing on the new flats caused by the water level dropping. I thought of you while I was chasing them, but I haven't attained your level of expertise yet. There was also a Coyote running for cover. Perhaps the next ones I will be able to keep in one large file, now that it is working better. I just haven't figured out how to paste all the clips together or to stop screwing up or to keep the exciting parts all together.

Was chasing a flock of geese years ago in the Hummer, was slightly below and behind, when one of them got freaked and demonstrated a most unexpected "evasive manuever." He apparently pulled in one wing and turned into a sort of cannonball maple leaf, doing a snap/twirl spin to fall out of the V formation. Seconds later, another one did the same thing. Picturing what that would have done to my leading edge tube (or my bod) got me flying a bit higher.

Another time was solo flying low along the Colorado right north of Yuma in a student's Sundowner when I spooked Canada Geese, a great bunch of them I pulled up hard and one hit the strongest parts of the airplane the nose wheel trunnion, I heard the thud and wondered about the damage, there was none, there was blood and some feathers. It ain't fun. Ron (Arizona) do not archive ---- Richard Pike wrote: ============ They can mess up more than that.

I am pleasantly suprised that the process will be fairly simple it seems... ....I have my EAA pack and will be sending my paperwork in, in an a day or two. The max weight for the Mkll is 750 lbs. (I did not build the plane but I have the builders manual and weight and balance sheet) I asked my DAR that I have secured for this adventure if I could raise the Max weight to 830lbs. He said I could, but it would be a good idea to ask other Mkll owners if any of them had registered at more than 750lbs and had flown and determined a higher max weight was safe...I guess my question is, has anyone else registered their Mkll at more than 750 lbs max weight and how do the members of this list feel about it?...Thanks in advance for your help....Mike -------- The next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing!...Mike Hillger Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=127654#127654 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-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/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-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.
