Hi Tom,
Do you want to "covert" the map you have to an
"All Kolb" map ?
I asked Matt about a Map on each "list"...
I'm not sure if he can do it... He's looking into it...
.
.
If not... The guy running the old Frapper Map should
be setting up another map....
Here's a look at the Tailwind Map I set up...
The planes and other things all have pin colors to separate them.
We've got guys in Canada ,Europe and Australia

Mike,
Your Tailwind map looks good with a variety of pin colors to differentiate whatever.
I do not want to convert the Slingshot map to ALL KOLB but having such a
Google Map would prove useful. I just don't think I'm the guy to do that.
do not archive

Wonder if a simple band-pass filter triggering a red LED on the dash would work.
You'd have to fool with it to get the right frequency passed. Might work, might
not. You might be able to use sound software and fool with the frequency analysis
via a laptop. Or make a quality recording... naw... might lose to much
high frequency.

Aren't you afraid they'll let a contract on you? Sheesh! That would be my knee-jerk
reaction! :-)
> X Planes would probably be your best choice.
I haven't used x-plane. Some folks who do have told me that MS FS is easier. You
could search around and see if anyone has created a Kolb for that sim. But it
might not be any good. some sites have user ratings of each plane.
> There was an article in either Kitplanes, Sport Pilot, or the other EAA rag about
a thrust measuring device.
There are some folks that have them. I know one EAA chapter has one built into
their engine stand. I have a pic of it with a corvair on there. Think they use
a hydraulic cylinder (from a jack?) to resist the pressure generated by the prop.
The pressure within the cylinder is displayed on a pressure gage. Or it might
measure torque, not sure.
With a lil work you could add another such cylinder to resist the twisting moment
of the engine on the stand, thus acquiring a torque number. Note the rpm and
you can have a hp number too. With some transducers and a single-board computer
you could automate the data acquisition during a run, at different rpm. If
you designed a universal ignition system tied in to the CPU, you could also vary
the timing throughout a run and generate an ignition curve/torque. of course
you could leave the computer out and do everything manually and generate the
same set of numbers. If you build it can I borrow it?
> I was wondering if you were using the stock throttle body fuel system and std
computer?
I am thinking about using one of my Geo throttle bodies for my generac. Not sure
what ECU I would use, there are several possibilities.
> you want a ground plane that radiates out from the antenna
While this is probably a great idea and makes an efficient antenna, there also
exist designs that require no ground plane.
> he went to the 1.3 liter engine..
I ahve worked with the 1.3 liter in my Samurai rather extensively over the past
13 years. It puts out heaps more power and low-end torque than stock. It has
enough to be fun to play with off-road. I sometimes beat much bigger machines
up the dunes.
> making sure you don't have a ground loop in the antenna feed line (grounding
the coax at both ends).
Hmmmm... Isn't the coax grounded inside the transmitter? If so then does this mean
we shouldn't ground the ground plane to the frame? I know nuthin of this sorta
thang.
