NOW I'm hurgry!! Corn is a good thing (grin) ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 11:22:51 AM PST US Subject: Lightning-List: Panel Box From: Jim Langley Hi Mark: I am installing my new panel box this weekend. I noticed that some people cut out a section in the top to allow access to the wiring and plumbing from the top. Do you guys do this? If so, I would guess that you cut a square out and then hinge it? I am just comparing what you are doing with this to what others are doing. Any pics? I also thought about cutting a clean rectangle out and gluing some tabs under the corners so that I could attach it with velcro instead of a hinge? Thanks Jim! ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:06 AM PST US From: "Mark Stauffer" Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Panel Box Hi Jim, We don't make any cutouts in the top of the panel box here. I'm not sure about the Velcro, it will stay put but what would it look like? Maybe a hinge and a couple camlocs? You'd still have to fabricate a flange for the panel to rest on in the closed position. In the past when we've had problems, removal of one or both of the EFIS screens usually gave me enough access. Of course anything can happen and the repair/troubleshooting might require more access. At that point I would just pull the whole panel out, providing you have enough of a service loop in your wiring. One of the reasons Nick made a separate place for the control cables was for situations such as this. I don't have any pics, sorry. Does anyone else out there have pictures to share??

I bagged the idea because I felt like it would possibly take away some of the panel rigidity.

All=2C Some time ago I was looking through the archived JSC newsletters. Ther e are some interesting articles and interviews from the early days of the s pace program. It's not my aim to tell you about those though. They had an issue around 1969 when we first went to the moon. They had some funny wri te-ins from young people in the local area. One that I spotted and copied to my desktop was sent in by a fifth grader. Sorry in advance to: pilots =2C Naval officers=2C women=2C furry animals=2C etc. etc. Anyhow=2C I got a good laugh out of it. "I want to be a Navy pilot when I grow up because it is fun and easy to do. Pilots don't need much school=2C they just have to learn numbers so they can read instruments. I guess they should be able to read maps so they can find their way if they are lost. Pilots should be brave so they won't be scared if it's foggy and they can't see if a wing or motor falls off they s hould stay calm so they'll know what to do. Pilots have to have good eyes so they can see through clouds and they can't be afraid of lightning or thu nder because they are closer to them then we are. The salary that pilots m ake is another thing I like. They make more money than they can spend. Th is is because most people think that airplane flying is dangerous except pi lots don't because they know how easy it is. There isn't much that I don't like=2C except girls like pilots and all the stewardesses want to marry th em so they always have to chase them away so they don't bother them. I hop e that I don't get airsick because if I do I couldn't be a pilot and would have to go to work."

All, =C2-=C2-=C2- Some time ago I was looking through the archived JSC news letters.=C2- There are some interesting articles and interviews from the e arly days of the space program.=C2- It's not my aim to tell you about thos e though.=C2- They had an issue around 1969 when we first went to the moon .=C2- They had some funny write-ins from young people in the local area. =C2- One that I spotted and copied to my desktop was sent in by a fifth gr ader.=C2- Sorry in advance to: pilots, Naval officers, women, furry animal s, etc. etc.=C2- Anyhow, I got a good laugh out of it. =C2- "I want to be a Navy pilot when I grow up because it is fun and easy to do. =C2- Pilots don't need much school, they just have to learn numbers so the y can read instruments.=C2- I guess they should be able to read maps so th ey can find their way if they are lost.=C2- Pilots should be brave so they won't be scared if it's foggy and they can't see if a wing or motor falls o ff they should stay calm so they'll know what to do.=C2- Pilots have to ha ve good eyes so they can see through clouds and they can't be afraid of ligh tning or thunder because they are closer to them then we are.=C2- The sala ry that pilots make is another thing I like.=C2- They make more money tha n they can spend.=C2- This is because most people think that airplane flyi ng is dangerous except pilots don't because they know how easy it is.=C2- There isn't much that I don't like, except girls like pilots and all the ste wardesses want to marry them so they always have to chase them away so they don't bother them.=C2- I hope that I don't get airsick because if I do I c ouldn't be a pilot and would have to go to work." =C2- Enjoy, Brian W.
