Carlos, B & C Specialties of Newton, KS has them. You should also be able to
get them from Digikey or Mouser. Here's B & C's web address:

PS when wiring this in you don't run the wires from the regulator to the
positive pole of the cap then out from the negative pole. Your output to the
battery is from the positive pole. The negative pole is wired to ground.
What this does is provide an electrical leak to ground that filters out the
noise.

One thing that is often overlooked are the wires to your kill switches.
They are conducting AC from the engine to somewhere in your cockpit, in
effect they are fairly long antennas radiating AC from your magneto to
all over the place.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My kill switch wires are pieces of coax grounded at the engine... this helps
keep the noise in the hot wire shielded and out of the radio.
For a test of removing the wires,,, and you still need a way to kill the
engine without going through the prop..... try turning off the gas at the
tank. The engine will kill when the float bowls empty.

Thanks for the word on the "Black Baron" from ACS. I checked their catalog and
it looks like the unit for me.
Early next week I'll be on the mainland, so I'll drop by Harbor Freight and check
out the IR senseing unit Jimmy recomended.
Got the rest of the materails together... So I should be able to get to work on
the tear when I return at the end of the month.

Rick,
Do I have this correct? For a 1 inch tube:
Circumference = 3.14"
6 * 3.14 = 18.8" wide
I tried this with paper to see what it looks like and it just seems like a lot
of material for a 1" tube.

Henry,
No need to wait on Harbor Freight for your digital thermometer. I just recently
purchased this model on eBay and I am very satisfied with its performance
and quality. Here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190183316352
It works VERY well and appears to be a quality item!! I read the surface temp
of the iron every 30-45 seconds....only takes a couple of seconds to read with
the red laser dot, and is accurate to a 10th of a degree.
eBay has dozens and dozens of models of digital thermometers. I can't see the
need of a more expensive one than the one I got.

Roger,
I don't mean to interupt your conversation with Rick, but the formula for circumference
is;
3.14 X Diameter (usually referred to as: pi*D) If you are talking about a 1"
tube, then the circumference is 3.14 X 1" = 3.14".

The original formula given by Rick was:
Circumference * 6
Which for a 1" tube becomes 3.14 x 6.
Which equals 18.8"
Which seems like a lot of material for a one inch tube when you try it.

Roger, mike, et al. Got my wording wrong, sorry. Should be 6 times as wide
as diameter, not circumference. Hoerner in "Fluid Dynamic Drag" found that
the ideal shape for streamlining a body was an ellipse 3 times as long as it
was in diameter. If you figure 1/2" for the seam, then add 1" to the total
width.
So for a 1 1/2" diameter strut, you'd need a piece of mylar 10" wide.

You'ze Guys, It pays to be near the Air Capitol. I called the local FSDO and
gave the inspector a sob story about needing an inspection and not being
able to move the aircraft because of the wind storms we've been having. That
was a week ago Tuesday. Monday he came out and 614AG and 169RG are now legal
E-LSA's. I will have to transport the Mk.3 and the Firestar, but they're
robust enough to handle the trip. With a little luck, I'll take the
Mk.3tomorrow. It'll be cold, but the winds will be less than gale
force for a
change.
Yippeee!!!

Carlos,
Check your plug caps. If they have any wiggle at all they are making some noise.
I changed mine out last year and noticed a dramatic drop in ignition noise.
If you decide to do it, don't by the $18 Rotax plug caps. You can get the proper
NGK LB05EZ caps from Sparkplugs.com for about 2.50 ea. They are black not
red, but otherwise identical to the Rotax OEM caps.
