What airport?
Jeff, It's at C56 the old Sanger Airport about 25nm South of MDW (Midway Chicago).
The airport was sold to Bult Corp. and will be closed 7/1/06 for new runway and
hangers
and the land is also being fought over by the third Chicago Airport people.
The registration is N405PP.
The owner, Paul Pressler is the builder and a true metal craftsman, you should
see his tools!

Bill Dube,
Haul your battery message/claim over to the AeroConnection. If you get
Bob Nuckolls to sign off on it, the buyer's will be lined up 'as fer as
the eye kan see.' Even though, as one poster pointed out, cost wise it
has no advantage over multiple changeouts of Odysseys, but pilots are
willing to spend extra money on the latest, greatest doodads, even if it
doesn't make a lot of sense--after all, that's what pilots do!
Thanks,
Chuck Jensen

If such a battery does really exist I am sure people would pay for it.
Especially those in the electric RC plane hobby. However you have not
yet convinced me that a battery that meets all the criteria in your OP
exists. The links above mention nothing about such a battery, at least
if they don't I can't find it. I don't mean any disrespect, but I am
not going to take the word of someone on a message board about something
with out any evidence to back it up. I also don't think you will get a
lot of response to your query until proof that such a battery does exist
and can do what you say.

Very interesting info as I too am going the p-mag route. I have no idea as
to the problem but look forward to your solution.
As a side note I am about to start the dreaded canopy (tip up). Any advice
out there. At least say a little prayer for .................

Pmags will not self-power below about 900 rpm. Also, there is a chance that your
Pmag/engine monitor combo will read 2x actual rpm in self-powered mode; mine
does this and I hope to make it go away by resetting the mag to another dipswitch
seting and reprogramming my GRT engine monitor to expect twice the # of
pulses. I bet they have addressed this on their latest model. The tribulations
of being an early-adopter ;-)
Wait till you experience the in-flight stumble that the heavier-gauge B+ wire is
supposed to fix (or new firmware; your choice ;-)

Great and not so great...
After much trying I fired up the engine for the first time today. After
purging all the lines, I attempted a start. It took many tries to get the
engine fired up, but it finally ran. Once it ran, it ran great...until I tried
to test the P-Mags by individually cycling their breakers. The engine stumbled
hard when I switched the right breaker to the off position, but recovered when
I
switched it back on. I THINK this indicates that it was not generating it's own
power. When I switched off the left P-Mag, the engine monitor showed an 800 RPM
increase, but that was bogus because you could not hear any change at all in the
engine. As called out in the manual, only one ignition is wired to the ACS2000.
All temps were even on CHT/EGT. While the engine was running, I tested both
radios, as the engine monitor showed 13.7V. After I shut down, both ICOM
A-200's went blank. All other avionics and electronics work fine. No fuses
popped, no burned wires.
I guess it's back to the drawing board and YES, I'm more than a little depressed
about it. I'll call the Emagair boys this week to see what ideas they have.
The P-Mags were installed by the engine builder, and I have not addressed the
issue of their timing...but it is disheartening to see that they are apparently
not making their own power.
I'll keep the group informed as I stumble through this...

I used 5/8" CPVC water pipe through holes about 2" in front of the spar and
about 1" from the top skin, held in place by a bead of E-6000 adhesive (GOOP)
at the tip rib. This has worked out extremely well as it took all of maybe 1
minute to feed the wires out to the tips. Easy to add/remove wires later as
well. Another advantage is that the conduit can be easily slid into the wing at
final assembly instead of being in the way for riveting etc. If you have
already attached the ribs, you could make a simple jig keyed off of the large
holes in the rib or possibly the tooling holes to drill the conduit holes in the
same position. I drilled mine before assembly as shown here:

You may recall I have reported having a VERY heavy left wing on my RV8A & was wondering
if a full degree of flap deflection was too much to try at once & how
to tell if the flaps are really in neutral trail position. So, today I flew
again with the 1 degree additional deflection cranked into the left flap. This
removed about half the heaviness. Now the situation is that with full right
roll trim and 15 gallons more fuel in the right tank than the left, the ailerons
are near neutral. So, there is still some work to do.
To decide to lower the left flap rather than raise the right, I measured the angle
between the wing chord line and the top surface of the flap on the plane and
on the wing template drawing provided by Vans. From the drawing, neutral trail
is with the flap top surface 10 degrees positive to the chord, the wing bottom
surface 7 degrees negative to the chord. Armed with this info, I used my
digital level and Vans incidence setting procedure to find that the wing chord
was at 4.6 degrees up as the plane sits on the gear. The right flap was at
14.6 degrees when full up and the left flap at 13.6 degrees so I lowered the
left flap into neutral trail.
Thanks for all the responses. I have the info on heavy wings from Van's web site
and am working through the problem.
