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!

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!

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. do not archive -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:25:44 AM PST US From: "Frank Stringham" Subject: RE: RV-List: P-Mags --> RV-List message posted by: "Frank Stringham" Bob Very interesting info as I too am going the p-mag route.

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.

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: http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=4868 Click on the foto for a better view. Mark Phillips -6A N51PW - 295 hours ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:19:20 AM PST US From: "DAVID REEL" Subject: RV-List: Heavy Wing --> RV-List message posted by: "DAVID REEL" 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.
