I used the Express SCH software for circuit documentation. It is free,
easy to learn and works well. Here is the URL:.

It is sunny in Oregon, eastern Oregon, but then it almost always is. We
went flying on my wife's lunch time. She is playing the tailwheel two step.

Thanks Randy,
Finally got hold of the WW folks who said the same thing as you did.
Ordered a new Jihostroj from them.
Interestingly, the folks at Van's insisted their MT governor should
work.
Thanks for the reply.

Those still looking for a solid state AHRS unit might want to pay a
visit to <http://www.stratomaster.uk.com/>.
Click on "products" then the "maxi-singles" item. Quite a wide line of
instruments from AHRS with or without heading, digital altimeters,
airspeeds, engine instruments, engine monitors and the like.
Can any PFA members comment on the quality, utility, etc. of this
company's offerings?

| Subject: | Sanding canopy plexy edges |
--> RV-List message posted by: Gerry Filby <gerf@gerf.com>
Got my feet wet with the canopy cutting this weekend. I'm sure
my hand will get steadier with the cutoff wheel as I get
experience, but my edges are quite rough. Sanding them smooth
by hand is beyond tedious - it will take me the rest of the year.
Is it OK to use an electrical orbital sander ? I'm a bit
worried that the orbital motion might crack or chip the plexy.
Would it be better to use a belt sander ? What have others used ?

There needs to be a caution here. If the edge is heated a bit too much, it
will attempt to expand, and since it is now softer, it will relieve itself
to a low stress condition. As the edge cools, it will be put into tension
as it "hardens" and tries to shrink. This tension will remain permanently
in the edge, potentially a bad thing.
However you finish the edge, make sure it is not getting warm to the touch.
Plexi has a very large coefficient of thermal expansion.

I used a hand block. Start with 60 grit and work finer. Dosent take that
long if your inital was pretty straight.
