Capen" Subject: RV-List: Pitot tube cover Folks, I have a 10" L-shaped Gretz heated pitot/static tube and am looking for a cover for it. The ones that I have found to be commercially available are all too short. Any ideas?

It looks like a black rubber cap that fits over the tip of the tube with a remove before flight banner attached. The other collection of are all too short as you've found out ( I have two "extras", ha, ha) Good hunting, John 80002 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph E.

It's a 95% efficient switcher with a quiescent current around 10mA. We need to buy ten of them to get a better price (about $55). Why do I want one? Why might you want one? I have a 1-battery airplane and don't want to rewire the whole thing. The GPS and radios reboot if they are on when I start the engine. During cranking, the bus voltage drops to around 10 V, and the avionics brown out. I want that problem to go away, and also want to keep the radio working for a while if the alternator shuts down and the battery drains below 10V. So, the solution I am trying is a switching power supply that converts anything between 6 and 24 V in to a stabilized 12V out. with 95% efficiency, the lost power is minimal. We would like to buy 10 units for about $55 each (+ s/h). We've accounted for four units, so there will be six more available. Who wants one? -bob mackey n103md -at- yahoo.com ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:27:15 PM PST US From: "Ron Lee" Subject: Re: RV-List: [Fwd: 12v supply to stabilize avionics] > I have a 1-battery airplane and don't want to rewire the > whole thing.

Cost...ZERO.

Dick Martin RV8 N233M the fast one ----- Original Message ----- From: RSamuelson@aol.com To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 7:26 PM Subject: RV-List: Govenor oil leak I have a new O-360 and the Jihostroj prop governor. I have a persistent oil leak that appears to be coming from the gasket between the governor and the engine. I changed the gasket once and my mechanic changed it a second time. The leak seems to be at the top of the joint and oil dribbles on down various hoses and wires and exits at the lower cowl. Anyone else have the problem?
