Just to be correct, mercury vapor lights have a bluish
light. If the light is a deep yellow, it is a low
pressure sodium light. If the light is almost white
with a yellowish tint, it is a high pressure sodium
light.

Sam and others,

first instance and are interpreted differently by just about every
manufacturer.
Because of these differences most software that reads NMEA sentences (or
any other nav data for that matter) must be validated with each sending
device one by one.
The differences are not just the sentence structure (when does a null
value mean zero, is an integer 0 the same as a float zero 0.0) where
well tested bullet proof software is necessary to be able to parse all
manner of data variants. Some of these differences can be very subtle.
Though not NMEA related I have personally seen a navy frigate nav system
fail because it received a heading of 360.0 degrees rather than 0.0
degrees. There are well documented incidents of nav failures when
aircraft have crossed the International Date line.
Did you know some GPSs will send data for more than 12 satellites -
ambiguous in NMEA and in the manufacturers spec but only discovered when
the constellation grew. You don't want your system to crash when
satellite #13 shows up in the messages.
There are also significant dynamic differences between GPSs.
Each GPS chip-set manufacturer implements it's own proprietary (and
secret) algorithms. This will include the type and nature of the
filtering and these factors will significantly alter the interaction
between a GPS and say an autopilot.
For example it is reasonably clear how the cross track error responds
along a straight course segment, but what about near to or transiting
through a way point. How does the smoothing algorithm alter this
behaviour.
Also another factor - what about a reduced satellite signal strength
(sunspots/antenna preamp problems/out of band interference) impact on
position error and resulting tracking performance.
Garmin is pretty lean with specifications on their products performance
and are no better than any other chip-set maker at specifying how the
dynamics work. This makes it pretty difficult for an auto pilot or alt
hold manufacturer to make GPS coupling work well with any NMEA source.
Even then each will require considerable testing.
IF GRT and TRIO are as reputable as people are reporting I am not
surprised that we do not see immediate support. Perhaps it will come
when they have the interfaces properly specified between themselves.
'nuf said, rant over.

Ok, I would like to chime in on yet another subject I know NOTHING
about!
I own a 50' x 50' hangar (2500 square feet) and it came with lighting
that was detailed in Jim's email:
http://www.businesslights.com/high-bay-metal-halide-fixtures-c-277_477.h
tml
My unit has only 4 of these lights hung very high in the rafters
(probably 25' high ceilings) and it is plenty of light for that space.
Frankly I was surprised to see how inexpensive they were listed as I
always assumed they were more expensive that that.
While I have read and understand that lowing the lights is the proper
decision for some styles of lights if one goes into a Costco you see
these lights suspended all the way up the very top of the store, well
clear of any equipment or storage needs. I assume they know what they
are doing in placing these lamps that high.
The drawback to these lights is that they do not turn on instantly. When
I flip the switch I get annoyed that I don't have instant light but
before I think about it a second time the lights are fully on. I have no
idea how energy efficient these lights are but I am a satisfied owner
for both amount or light and light quality.

If you think this is expensive, try buying a set for a DR-107 One

Subject: | Re: Off Topic: Hanger Lighting |
Living in a residential airpark I've got to see a variety of lighting.
All of the hangars on my street are the same dimensions, 45'x40', 15'
ceilings. Stock lighting was 6 -2 bulb 4' flourescent fixtures. This is
inadequate. One of my neighbors went with 6 -4 bulb 4' fixtures and this
improved things greatly but still wasn't ideal.
By far the best lighting I've seen is large Halogen fixtures. My next
door neighbor has them and his lighting is unequalled. Another followed
his lead but added a couple of extra fixtures. He has light.
Another huge factor is the floor. My floor is epoxy and gray in color
with a slight gloss finish. My next door neigbor (with the halogens)
floor is tan, leaning toward a more yellowish tint with very little
gloss. Although the lights are white the hangar has a yellowish tint
when the lights are on.
The other neighbor who added halogens has a light blue floor with light
gloss. He has the best lighting on the block.
If doing again, I'd go with the halogens despite the added cost. The
lighting is incredible. The fixtures hang down from the ceiling making
bulb changes although my neighbor hasn't had any bulb failures in 6
years. Good lighting makes things so much nicer. I'm going to go with
the halogens before next summer.

I built my shop several years ago and wrestled with the lighting issue. I tried several and have finally settled on using "brood Lights" with the clamp removed, that I got at Lowes, They are single lamp screw base fixtures that have a 10" aluminum reflector. I installed eight 4x4 outlet boxes on the ceiling of the 35'x40 shop for a total of 32 lights. I use the 20' cords that the lamps come with to suspend them over each of my work areas. I can drop them down to just above the table top of a work table or pull them up over the main parking bay to clear my truck... I have each outfitted with a 9-27 watt standard CFL bulb and they are switched in banks of 8. I use the cheap plastic work clamps and/or a zip tie to clip the wire to a conduit over where I need the lamp and have screwed 16" long sections of 4" PVC pipe to the ceiling to roll up the excess cordage and stuff it into to get it out of the way. While I was wiring I also installed 8 ea. quad outlet boxes on #10 AWG 3 cond. SO cord that drop to the floor from the ceiling for outlets in the shop. I'll post some photos of the setup on my kitlog site http://www.mykitlog.com/n7hqk . I love it! Low cost the CLF's start in the cold and can be purchased cheaply and in various color temps and cost little to run.

Have you come across something that's arcane, anachronistic or just
plain useless in your travels through the regs? Well, the FAA says it
wants to know about it. The agency has issued a Review of Existing
Regulations that invites anyone with a beef about how the law of the air
is now set to drop them a line. "Getting public comments is a necessary
element of our effort to make our regulations more effective and less
burdensome," the agency claims in the document. It's asking that you

I'm just about to tackle the lighting issue myself. Can you give us any
more information about the type of halogen fixture you like? I like metal
halide a lot, but it's pretty expensive to run and the bulbs are expensive
and have a fairly short life.
Thanks,

Subject: | Nosewheel pant brackets |
Folks,
I'm trying to verify if the original "two brackets per side" have been replaced
by a single bracket per side (U-713C-L and U-713C-R). It should be held on by
a single 3/8"x24x3/4" allen screw with washer/lockwasher on each side and hooks
around the axel bolt. My understanding is that the new brackets allow easier
maintenance without disassembling the nosewheel to fork assembly.
Are there other parts in this assembly? My earlier kit does not have the newer
parts and I would like to do things easier. I think drawing C2 has probably
been updated too......
Thanks in advance,
Ralph Capen

That depends on what type of fluorescent you are using. I have a 40x64 shop/hanger
up here in Wisconsin and I use 8 of the 8ft High Output strip lights you
can find from your local LowesDepot for about $50. If it drops below 30F it
takes them a couple minutes to warm up for full light output but they work fine
down into the negative temperatures with no flicker. Again, they MUST be the
110 watt HO type light which are also referred to as "cold start". Another
nice thing is they are cheaper to run than most other lighting out there, I believe
each fixture is around 1.5 amp.
The 8 lights in that space are adequate but two more would probably be perfect.
I would also try and get units with a reflector. If you look around on the
net you can get HO ballasts and just pick up the el cheapo 8' lights w/reflector
and swap the ballast.

If this is not a heated area I would not recommend using the 8'
fluorescents. They do not respond as well to colder weather as they
flicker. You can use 4' fixtures with light shields (ceiling height) but
there are better options. Lowes and Home Depot sell a 65 watt fluorescent
area light that is round and has a parabolic type reflective lens. We have
many hangars here at our airpark that uses these including mine. A new
hangar was just built and 9 of these were spaced out in there which provides
excellent lighting in this hangar. The cost for these is around $44each.
We have some metal hangars that have very high ceilings and the same light
were used but were mounted on a metal extension to get the light down to
about 10-12 feet off the floor.
I am not an engineer and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night
but I did spend over 20 years installing lighting systems in both
residential and commercial applications. I used these lights in my hangar
and they work well.

You are spot on. I really shouldn't call my lights mercury vapors as I don't
know exactly what I bought.....duh.. from your description I probably bought
low pres sodium lamps.
the point I was making (or trying to ) was to avoid the temptation
to buy cheap lowe-depot lights. Because as with everything else, you get
what you pay for.
OH, To top the cake, a week ago Sunday when I opened the hangar door
the acrylic diffuser dropped off one of the suspended light fixtures and
smashed on the floor a few feet from the wing of my 6A. It looked as if the
heat from the bulb was slowly cooking the plastic over time making it
brittle, and although the lamp was cold when it fell off, a gust of wind may
have caught it.

Just to be correct, mercury vapor lights have a bluish

I still have no idea why I want or need it. My Trio EZ-Pilot tracks

intercepts courses, maintains a heading if GPS is lost and will follow GPS

Have not had any dealings with Trio, but TruTrak has been super with me.
Bought my ADI Pilot II from A/C Spruce. Arrived without servos,
mounting hdwre, and was an ADI Pilot I, but paid the Pilot II price.
A/C Spruce rep didn't know that there was a difference. Called TT and
explained the situation, also told them that the unit that I received
had 'stuff' rattling around inside. TT immediately told me to give them
my invoice #, name, date of purchase and that they would contact A/C
Spruce. Called me back in 20 minutes and told me to either send it back
to A/C Spruce or to them directly. Sent it to them. Within 2 weeks
turn around TT sent me the new, complete ADI Pilot II with everything
that I paid for through A/C Spruce. Even paid shipping both ways. To
top it off, A/C Spruce had a promotion on at the time that was selling
the ADI Pilot II BELOW TT cost, according to TT. TT still honored the
price without a squabble. How can you beat that service?
FYI - whenever A/C Spruce has a 'request quote' price. USE IT! I have
purchased MANY items from them that have a VERY reduced price. Also did
y'all know that A/C Spruce has a price matching policy? Find the
cheapest price that you can on the web and they will beat it-even Van's.
All they ask for is the website name.
Back on TT-get Stein to build you your harness-he will at no extra
charge include a jack in the wiring harness to plug your GPS
into-including handhelds if TT supports it, as with my AvMap IV that I
panel mounted in my 9A using the AirGizmos docking station.

The ones you see at Costco are 400 watt fixtures and
they are high up so the light "umbrella" they cast
overlaps with the next fixture. Next time you are in
their store, find an open area of floor and count how
many shadows your body casts, if you can see them.

Ron, I think what builders considering an autopilot need to keep in mind
in regards to "GPSS" is that the current digital systems work so well
that GPSS is for all practical purposes a moot point. It seems to me
that the effort TruTrak has taken to promote GPSS is primarily to
differentiate their system from the legacy systems (Century, S-Tec,
etc). As you mentioned, our Trio EZ-Pilots track so accurately that we
have no need for "GPSS". GPSS sounds pretty cool if all you have flown
are the old analog autopilots, but for us fortunate enough to enjoy the
digital toys in our experimental aircraft, our systems far outperform
the old stuff.
I still marvel at how a sub-$2000 autopilot can hold my plane within a
wingspan of the course line with an inexpensive handheld GPS providing
the data! How many King Airs and Citations can match that? :-)

I'd avoid this route as this is exactly what I've done. the color from the
cheap mercvapor lighting is an awful yellow that distorts all color
perception. although the light was bright enough, i actually got headaches
from the poor light color after long periods of exposure. i haven't changed
them out yet, but i have lined the perimeter of the hangar with 4ft
fluorescent fixtures and it has made a huge difference. perhaps the best
lighting solution is a marriage of different technologies.
of coarse your mileage may vary...

What was suggested to me as the cheapest and simplest way to get good
lighting is to use those mercury vapor yard lights. You can just tape over
the light sensor, or I rewired mine around the sensor. Lots of light, they
only cost about $25 each, and they are not sensitive to cold as fluorescents
are.

That is probably why Sam. I often save flight tracks on my Airmap 500
and it is easy to tell when I am flying and when the Trio EZ-Pilot is
flying.
Now to get the altitude hold so ATC does not see the 100-200' (is that all?)
altitude excursions when I make a sandwich or read a map.

Subject: | Nosewheel pant brackets |
Ralph,
The single piece brackets for the nosewheel are as you describe. I
just drilled out the 2 piece brackets and replaced them. Not to bad a
job. I made a mandrel that located the new bracket via the axle holes in
the pant and a 3/8 dowel through the front holes a couple brass flair
fitting nuts that had a 3/8 id and a tapered OD centered the front holes
in the existing cap screw access holes. Note if you haven't drilled your
pants yet all of this is moot.
I didn't order the washers called out on the drawing so I just
drilled a 1/4" ID AN 970-4 fender washer to 3/8 and along with a thick
and thin 3/8 AN960-616 the rear attachment is just right. Was it worth
it, don't know depends on how many time the pant would need to be
removed while leaving the wheel in place. It's not a big deal to remove
the front of the pant and swing the strut end up onto a block of wood. I
suspect I'll have it all off and on more while fitting and finishing
than in all of the next few years.
The updated drawing came with my new fork. I thing I need to go one
size longer on the boll as well.
If you are making the change you will need:
Drawing C1 R3
1 ea U-713-L
1 ea U-713-R
2 ea AN960-616L Washers
2 ea AN960-616 Washers
2 ea 062 25783054 Washers ( I drilled 2 AN 970-4's but it's much easier
to just add the right washers to your bracket order)
The bolt is still called out as a AN6-60A as before but I only have
about a single thread showing. YMMV
The drawing calls for plate nuts and #8 screws to hold the bracket on, I
used -3 flush rivets 3 per tab and assembled it with epoxy and a layer
of fiberglass. I hope to never see the fasteners!!
Good luck

I have always used 8' High output fixtures in all my race shops and oth

ubstantial. I recently built a big garage for a customer and he bought
those new T-8 fixtures, tiny bulbs and all. My first impression was, "t
his won't work". Well in a 50'X60' shop I put up just 4 of the four bulb
fixtures to give me some light to finish the place. The light output is
amazing, the price of the new fangled fixtures is staggering, but as in
all new things the cost will eventually come down. The biggest eye open
er was when I installed the diffusers. They look great but it cuts the l
ight output about in half. Moral of the story, leave off the diffusers a
nd let the polished reflectors do their thing....

Just to be correct, mercury vapor lights have a bluish
light. If the light is a deep yellow, it is a low
pressure sodium light. If the light is almost white
with a yellowish tint, it is a high pressure sodium
light.

It need not be flat, or straight. It need not be bare wire for that
matter.
Use a BNC bulkhead fitting at the firewall and a short piece of coax in
the
cowl side BNC connector, then transition from the center conductor of
the
coax to your wire. The coax shield need not extend past the connector
and
is not connected to anything. The coax just makes it easy to use a BNC
connector to disconnect the antenna for cowl removal.
If you have a ham friend have him/her check the antenna for resonance at
75
MHZ. In free air a =BC wavelength antenna (as your=92s will be) at this
frequency is 37.5 inches. If you don=92t have a ham friend to check,
then
just use 38=94 or so. This is really not critical for marker beacon
use.

of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across
the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabilizer which you had
carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

MECHANIC'S KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered
to
your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl

rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but
only while in use.
DAMMIT TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling
"DAMMIT" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool
that you will need .
Couldn't help it! ;-)

Subject: | Re: Marker Beacon in lower cowl |
Don,
I did something very similar to what Carl describes and it works adequate
though is not as sensitive as most certified installations I have flown...
Could be the RST receiver, but I blame my makeshift antenna and the
interference from all the metal parts around the engine.
I did the same with my nav antenna and it worked OK, though not great. I
recently changed it out for a wing-tip archer antenna an it seems to get a
much more stable nav signal.

Subject: | Trio EZ-Pilot or Altitude Hold |
I chose the Trio because of the way it worked in a friends airplane. It was simple
and easy to operate. That is what I like simple. The servo looks good,
thats just it, it just looks good, and the slip clutch is easy to calibrate, if
it needs any calibration at all. I have not flow yet but when I do the Trio
should be intuitive to operate.
At Sun n Fun they took the time to explain all how the system works, they worked
hard to get it down to a level that I could understand, thats what I like simple,
for a simple minded guy like me, they got it down right. They ant paid
me nothing for this either.

This thread is interesting to me. I'd not considered the Trio. TT seemed to be
the leader and well liked. Now I see that many seem satisfied with the Trio.
Why is it if their units are so good (and the pricing seems okay) and their
support very good, that they are not being supported by GRT? Why is it they
are not commanding the popular numbers of TT? Do they lack product depth? Is
their need for a separate knob and bezel for the altitude hold unit a drawback?
Is it lack of GPSS steering? Maybe they are just as popular as TT? What's
the deal?

Subject: Re: RV-List: Trio EZ-Pilot or Altitude Hold
Ron - from a safety standpoint, it is as you say, but for convenience, I find that
hand flying a GPS course line on cross country to be a piece of cake compared
to maintinaing a VFR cruise altitude when fumbling with cockpit chores in
my RV. Hence I would sooner give up the a/p function than the convenience of
altitude hold. Both work well and I'm very glad I have them. I have not yet
upgraded them over the most basic functionality.

Bill, perhaps I misread your post. If I had to have only one of the two,
I would pick the EZ-Pilot (wing leveler/follow GPS course). Besides
following a course perfectly, it adds the safety of a wing leveler IF I ever
enter clouds, a 180 degree option if you enter clouds plus other functions.
I can maintain altitude semi-well without an altitude hold and not flying it
but an altitude hold with the EZ-Pilot (two axis control) would be ideal.

Absolutely. I'd give up my EZ pilot before I gave up my altitude hold, for comfortable
x/c flying. Trio is first-rate. If/when they interface with the GRT
EFIS systems for full functionality (tru-trak is the favorite with GRT for now)
I'll be totally content (and perhaps finish my panel upgrade to all-glass.)

Hey all..quick note. Have an EZ Pilot in my RV-4. Put it in about a year +.
It quit holding a course and would engage and disengage the servo. I called trio,
they said, "another one is on the way". 2 Days later I had a new one. They
said to ship the other back when I had the chance. I installed it, it was
programmed already for my aircraft, and it worked perfectly. Absolutely wonderful
customer service. Don't forget those guys when you are building your panel.
