    Subject: Connecting Rod bolts
    From: "tkreiner" <tkreiner@gmail.com>
    My buddy Greg has located several more packages of the small Continental connecting rod bolts. These fit all small Continentals from A-65 thru O-360's. These are NOS Continental parts, 10 to a package. Cost at ACS is about $19./ bolt, Greg wants $130. Per package. PM or email me, and I will bring to Brodhead in July. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443658#443658

    Thanks, Jack. I'm thinking that with it taking two days for me to fly to Br odhead from Virginia, I may run that tablet down before I get to my interme diate destination on the first day. I have one of those Mophi battery backu ps that I can plug the tablet into but it won't fully recharge it. Also, wh en I put a new prop on the airplane last year, I found it was lighter than the old one, and when I burn off fuel, the airplane gets tail heavy. A moto rcycle battery installed in a battery box on the firewall will help my weig ht and balance, as well as being an on-board power source for handheld radi o and tablet. Looking forward to seeing you in less than a month.

    Subject: auto GPS test
    Matt, I have a battery on my firewall that I use to run my radio, transponder (briefly, when needed) and GPS. It is a PowerSonic 18 Amp-Hour 12 volt battery and it will run a Garmin GPSMap 196 for several days. You can buy one from Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/powersonic_2.php for $58.75, or from BatteryPlex (http://www.batteryplex.com/powersonic.cfm/m/PS-12180-NB) for $44.99. It does require a special charger, which costs about $109 from BatteryPlex. If you just want to get the battery for Brodhead this year, you can borrow my charger. It=99s nice having electrical power in your plane. I use it for such necessary activities as powering my smoke system pump and running my Ah-Oooga horn, in addition to powering the avionics.

    Subject: Aircraft Spruce kit vs. individual part prices are strange
    From: "wheelharp" <wheelharp@gmail.com>
    I just ordered my vert stab and rudder wood from Wicks, and it came to $88. It is higher than aircraft spruce kit price, but I am going to pick up something else there anyway. When comparing prices though, I noticed A.S. has kit for both vert stab and rudder for about $50 before shipping, but when you order individual pieces from them, it comes out to $92....????? I'm wondering if A.S. prices for kit just haven't been updated, or is it just that good of a deal buying kit vs parts? Anyone here know why kit is so much cheaper? Not a big deal on these small parts, but I had been sort of budgeting my project around A.S. kit prices. If this holds true for rest of project, I'm going to have to almost double my numbers if I buy from Wicks. -------- Jon Jones Ironton, MO Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443690#443690

    Subject: Re: auto GPS test
    Jack, your installation is what I've been thinking about. I've looked at a lot of sealed unit and gel-cell batteries online, but haven't made up my mi nd. I'd like something that I can attach a solar trickle charger to because I don't have power at Twin Rivers. And I may not get this done before Bro dhead. I'm assuming that your radio and transponder are hard wired and you power the GPS from a cigarette lighter plug?

It is a PowerSonic 18 Amp-Hour 12 volt batter y and it will run a Garmin GPSMap 196 for several days. You can buy one fr om Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/powersonic _2.php for $58.75, or from BatteryPlex (http://www.batteryplex.com/powerson ic.cfm/m/PS-12180-NB) for $44.99. It does require a special charger, which costs about $109 from BatteryPlex. If you just want to get the battery fo r Brodhead this year, you can borrow my charger. It=99s nice having electrical power in your plane. I use it for such necessary activities as powering my smoke system pump and running my Ah-Oo oga horn, in addition to powering the avionics.

I'm thinking that with it taking two days for me to fly to Br odhead from Virginia, I may run that tablet down before I get to my interme diate destination on the first day. I have one of those Mophi battery backu ps that I can plug the tablet into but it won't fully recharge it. Also, wh en I put a new prop on the airplane last year, I found it was lighter than the old one, and when I burn off fuel, the airplane gets tail heavy. A moto rcycle battery installed in a battery box on the firewall will help my weig ht and balance, as well as being an on-board power source for handheld radi o and tablet. Looking forward to seeing you in less than a month.

Now to figur e out how to keep the tablet alive for the 2-day trip to Brodhead. I'm thin king a gel-cell 12 volt motorcycle battery connected to a cigarette plus an d use and automobile charger to the tablet. Then a solar trickle charger fo r the battery. Thoughts?

I had used the iphone the previous yea r to back up my garmin so it worked great for two years. Always keep a pap er backup though.

There=99s not much detail or aviation related info, but many airports are there and in =9Coffroad=9D mode, it =99ll show a direct path. Seems like a fine backup gps. Keep the charts though!

    GPS 92 is awesome. older unit, but charge seems to last 20hrs or so on 4 AA's. Comes w/extension cable so You can mount antenna up on centre section. I found a panel mount bracket online to mount in the panel. You can usually find em cheap on ebay. I might use forefright on my iPhone at times as well.. -------- KLNC A65-8 N2308C Slick 4330's AN Hardware Airframe 755TT W72CK-42 Sensenich Standard Factory GN-1 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443702#443702 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/image_392.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/image_226.jpg

    From: "Baldeagle" <baldeagle27@earthlink.net>
    Use of opposite aileron on the ground was routine back in the '20s and '30s on airplanes with no brakes and tailskids, everybody learned it. We still do it all the time with the Rudolf Pietenpol. It becomes natural after a little practice. You don't want to try to think of it when you're already headed for the boonies, but use it for taxiing all the time and then it becomes natural. However with brakes and/or a steerable tailwheel it really shouldn't be necessary. - -------- do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443726#443726
