Is the color Lowrance 2000 being displayed? If so, does it look nicer than the 296 and do they have the height above terrain warning SW in yet? Anything new pop up? thx, lucky ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Eustace Bowhay" Subject: Re: RV-List: osk kosh product update --> RV-List message posted by: "Eustace Bowhay" Hi Lucky; I talked to them at Arlington and at that time they were estimating November for the engine monitor.

His 1930's racer is on display at the Oshkosh Airventure museum. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:37:04 AM PST US Subject: RE: RV-List: osh kosh product update From: "Bartrim, Todd" --> RV-List message posted by: "Bartrim, Todd" > I should know better than to ask but did anyone catch if the forever > immenintly ready, soon to be released, right around the corner, XCOM 760 > radio is actually being displayed by any of the avionics companys? > I received an e-mail from Michael Coates last night in response to my inquiry about an update. Apparently they've already shipped 60 units and expect to ship another 140 units by the end of next week. According to his e-mail they are at Oshkosh. I had an order in for one from aircraft spruce, but they recently raised the price almost $300usd due to an increase in the Australian dollar, however the AUD has been falling so much that I saved $160 by canceling and ordering direct from X-Air and paying the current exchange rate. This will likely add a few weeks to the order. S.

This cause a kickback at starting. The only thing I know about the switch is it has Bendix stamped on the key. There are unused terminals on the switch but I don't have a diagram showing anything about the connections it can make. Hopefully a rewire will correct the problem. This is on my early RV4 and was probably supplied by Van's. Don't know as I bought someone's else's project and never got the details on this item. Would any one have this information available?

Interesting website. I browsed around a little and noticed a comment from someone named Chuck, who claimed that the CR-4 used parts from the CR-3. I was only about 5 years old at the time but I remember very clearly seeing the remains of the CR-3 in my Dad's hangar/shop. I am certain that nothing useable remained of the CR-3 after his very nearly fatal forced (spell that CRASH) landing in a ravine on an LA golf course. Harry PS Save the heavy vinyl tape, I realized how useful it will be for both of us to mask the canopy when sanding the fiberglass fillet/fairing or whatever it's called. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:34 PM PST US From: "Ron Walker" Subject: Re: RV-List: key/mags/start switches --> RV-List message posted by: "Ron Walker" Page 389 of the spruce catalog has a diagram to wire it correctly. According to the NOTES I am reading, you should use a jumper on TERMINAL 1 when the left mag has an impulse coupler. ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: RV-List: key/mags/start switches > --> RV-List message posted by: PGLong@aol.com > > I have a key operated /mags/start switch that does not ground the mag > without the impulse coupler for starting.

In trying to do that with all the extra material there appeared to be I cut quite a bit away. But even with a deep bend the edges don't align well so I was wondering how folks actually do this. Has anyone posted pictures of these artful bends? If not a word picture would help. I promise, if I ever get these to fit, per-plans, I'll post the photos for posterity. It's a standard O-320 with fixed pitch prop.

Would any one have this information available? ===================================== I think all of these switches are pretty similar but if anything here doesn't sound right for your switch, then disregard. Adjacent to and coplanar with the terminal marked R is another terminal that gets internally connected to Ground only when the key is turned to the starter position. You should jumper across these two terminals. Your right mag P lead center conductor should also be attached to terminal R. The shields of both P Leads should connect to the GND terminal in the center of the switch.
