| Subject: | Alternator sense wire |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dale Walter" <dale1rv6@comcast.net>
Good morning,
I read about this (connecting a wire from sense pin to output post) recently and
knew mine was not there. My voltage had usually been between 13 and 14 volts
but occasionally dropped to 12.2 or up to 15.9. So Saturday I connected the sense
wire. On the first 3 flights short flights the voltage has been much more
stable; 13.0 to 14.1. Never saw more than 14.1. I plugged a $15 battery monitor
from Walmart to my cig lighter to back up the reading from my Grand Rapids
EIS voltmeter. Alternator is the common one from a Japanese vehicle. Thanks to
those who brought up this issue recently. My question is; can anyone explain
why the voltage did not run up much higher before I had a sense wire connected?
Thanks,
Dale Walter

Listers,
I am trying to decide upon a good ANR or whatever headset. I could always go
for the Bose X which is the most expensive ($995) and probably the best
however when I see all those Bose X full page ads in practically all
magazines, and this includes French magazines, got me thinking. I feel I
would be paying 400$ to finance all the ads (if not more) and 600$ for the
headset. I figure that there should be a headset out there probably just as
good but for which the advertising budget is a lot lower, hence available at
a much lower price.
Anyone care to comment??? Please.

When I bought my sets a few years ago, he told me that he just quit his job at
the TI factory, but that he bought enough supplies to make his TI Downs for some
years to come.
So I guess the info on the website may not be up to date (...unless he went back
to work at the factory).

Wheeler, I have the Claw tiedowns too, and they work great.
Question for any of you who may be "in the know" on metal sources
though....
Do you think that titanium stakes for use in the claw would save
a bit of weight? It comes with 9 steel stakes, and it adds up
a bit. If I could spend $50 extra and get titanium, I may
consider it.

Flow matching for $1000! Wow, what do they do for that kind of money. I have
AFP fuel injection on my IO360 and paid a visit to AFP at KSPA. If you live
anywhere near SC the trip is well worth the $300 I paid to Don for an afternoon
of flight testing, nozzle balancing and FI education by his small but very
professional staff. Four of them spent the better part of an afternoon precisely
balancing my system. It took four test hops and they even provided the data
recorder in the back seat! I don't know how you could do the job on a test
stand and I don't know why it should cost $1000.

Subject: Re: Fuel Injected - or Not
The original poster is deciding on whether to order his new engine with
or
without FI, not convert an existing engine.
I don't know about Aerosport, but I bought a brand new TMX-IO360 w/Airflow
Performance FI from Mattituck (it arrived just last week) and the differenc
e
in price BETWEEN the standard carb engine and going to the AFP FI was only
$700.
For me, that was a no brainer going with the FI at that price difference
because of the already mentioned advantages. In fact, I went one step
further and paid the additional $1000 for the "Flow Matching" option that
gives you the ability to lean very exactingly by the engines ability to
kee
p
all four cylinders running at the same fuel flow.
So even at the additional $1700 for the way I went, it was still a no
brainer.
I admit that if were actually flying with a carbed engine, I would probably
seriously wonder if I wanted to spend more than $3000 to change it over,
bu
t
that's not an issue with a brand new engine order.

I have since a few years a Sennheisser HMEC350. It is a very good ANR headset,
although a bit hungry on batteries. Disadvanvage is also the fairly large
battery box.
I recently bought a Bose headset X, and there is no doubt that it's the better
headset. If it's better enough to warrant the rediculous price, is another
matter.

The best idea is to try on as many as you can, and when you find the
right one, buy it. Don't worry about the price - they are all
expensive. I've tried most headsets on the market at OSH and
SNF, even though I had already bought the Bose. I'm happy with
them. They even fit my daughters (4 and 6) comfortably.

I fly an RV-4 and observed an interesting issue regarding Bose headsets. I
have used David Clark's ENC headsets for 3 years. No complaints whatsoever.
I have used Bose headsets in many other aircraft and there are amazing. I
had saved up to buy a set of Bose headsets for my RV-4 but I then borrowed a
set and tried them out in my airplane. I was actually surprised to find
that they were no better than by David Clark ENC units. I attribute this to
the proximity of the canopy in the RV-4. Much of the noise is higher
frequency wind noise and although the Bose does a great job of reducing
noise, I don't think it is any better than the DC when it comes to high
frequency wind noise. So I saved myself $2000 and stayed with my DC units.
For side-by-side RVs, I think the Bose would be superior but at least in the
RV-4 with the canopy just inches from your head, I'll stay with the DC's
Just my opinion.

I installed an ANR kit in my David Clarks; less than $200 with the
optional ear seals. It works great, and I fly helos. IMO, there is no
doubt the Bose are better, but not worth the price differential.
Their website is http://anr-headsets.com/

This comes up a few times a year...I'll chime in
again. Bose, Bose, Bose. My comfort, hearing, and
all around flight enjoyment make the headset worth
every stinkin penny.
Have been flying with one pair for 5 years now, 1000
hours, including flight instructing several
flights/day in the summer, with no problems.
I'm sure you'll hear how great the customer service is
for lightspeed, and how "every time" they send them
back they come back quickly, no charge, new earcups,
etc....the point is, they have to be sent back!! My
Bose have taken a beating, and have never had to go
back. Spend the money now...when it's comfort, it's
worth it.
I like the analogy of a bed. You don't (at least most
don't) buy a cheap bed..why? Because you sleep on it
every night and it's about YOU and comfort...well,
IMHO, Bose fit the same mission...flying is supposed
to be enjoyable, and I haven't found a more
comfortable, reliable, headset.
The $1000 is not for buying the ads...Bose can afford
to buy the ads without the headset price! Everything
they sell is expensive. It's really a $1000 headset
in my opinion. If you were to buy a $600 headset, is
the Bose worth $400 more? I think so...it's not like
I said, "well, I guess I'll pay the $1000" I honestly
feel that they are worth that. So much so that I
bought a second pair for my passengers. And no, I'm
not made of money either! I used their no interest 12
month payment plan which makes it much easier to
stomach.

I still have my one regular sized ANR headset for sale
after buying my final Bose set.
My previous headsets, all 4 pairs, were upgraded with the
ANR Headset upgrades from http://www.anr-headsets.com/
and also beyond that, a noise reducing kit similar to the
Oregon Aero Hushkit. (I got the materials and did it myself)
In addition I installed Gel earseals like the David Clark headsets
have.
This headset started life as a nice Flightcom 5DX headset,
and then got the ANR upgrade, hushkit, and gel earseals as
listed above. With the ANR it would actually be closer to the
Classic ANR set now offered from Flightcom.
http://www.flightcom.net/headsets/classic-anr-headset.php
The sound quality while listening to stereo
music is excellent, and it is a Stereo headset with individual
earcup volume controls and a stereo/mono switch.
I was going to list them on ebay, but I thought I'd post
them here first in case someone from the RV community was interested.
I stuck them on my site at: http://www.myrv10.com/forsale/headsets/
I have an addition to what I'll send with this headset, if you
want it. It's an extension box that I made, that allows me to
plug the headset into the front seat jacks, including ANR power
jacks, and extend it far enough aft that you can easily sit in
the rear seat and use them. My wife used it when she sat in
the back with the kids, but still was on the "crew" side of the
intercom. If you want this box and you get the headset, just
let me know.

I haven't tried all the expensive headsets. My flying budget has
never been unlimited, so I make my choices carefully. With this in
mind, I bought a pair of the Lightspeed headsets, and I've been very
happy with them.
There are really three things to consider with headsets:
-Quality of noise suppression (both passive and active)
-Comfort
-Price
Of these items, the bottom two can be measured at Oshkosh. But the
top one can not. For that, you can try to compare the noise
suppression charts and statistics published by the headset
manufacturers. Or you can test fly and judge for yourself.
The one time I compared my Lightspeeds against a friend's Bose, I
wasn't able to detect a difference. Someone with more sensitive
hearing may disagree.
When I bought the Lightspeeds, Bose was publishing better active/
passive noise suppression by a total of only 1 or 2 dB. I felt the
very minor difference this suggested was no where near worth paying
3-4 times as much.

I haven't spoken to him in a couple of years. Last
email communication I had with him was probably 1 1/2
years ago. He's somewhat of a recluse it seems. He
does alot of ultralight flying in the backwoods. I
think he and the unibomber share a cabin up in Idaho
or something.
Some people have received their tie downs and
communications in short time, others in 8 months. No
rhyme or reason, unfortunately.
I really don't think he's a crook or anything...he's
just not the most business savvy person in the world!

There is no argument that the quality of the ANR on
the lightspeed is good as the Bose. I think the big
difference between the lightspeed and Bose is quality
of the headset frames, and of course comfort.
Personally, the comfort factor is worth the money
IMHO. You forget you are wearing them in about 2
minutes.

Ah, well, it comes down to how much does $1700 (the price savings for
2 headsets) mean do you. For some folks, $1700 isn't much. For
others, it's a lot. I can put up with some discomfort after a couple
of hours of flight if it means I can actually afford to fly.

What happened?? Chris was the first RV'er I ever met in person. Met me fo
r a ride without knowing me (didn't go b/c the field went IFR). He is well
known in these parts.
I didn't know him well, but I feel sick right now...
Godspeed, Chris.

I found the audio quality of the Bose to be superior. I have a hearing loss that
is getting worse with time (age) that background noise interferes with my ability
to hear, and the Lightspeeds were not good enough. I was also tired of
sending them back for repair.

This comes up a few times a year...I'll chime in
again. Bose, Bose, Bose. My comfort, hearing, and
all around flight enjoyment make the headset worth
every stinkin penny.
Have been flying with one pair for 5 years now, 1000
hours, including flight instructing several
flights/day in the summer, with no problems.
I'm sure you'll hear how great the customer service is
for lightspeed, and how "every time" they send them
back they come back quickly, no charge, new earcups,
etc....the point is, they have to be sent back!! My
Bose have taken a beating, and have never had to go
back. Spend the money now...when it's comfort, it's
worth it.

The 12 volts was been maintained by the battery. the variation you saw was probably
dependant on the charge of the battery...
