| Subject: | Wiggly Cotter pins |
One of my four engine mount bolt cotter pins wiggles a bit - it is set like the
other three.
I've re-done it a bunch of times - so either it is technique for this particular
bolt...or there's something wrong with the setup. I'm using the same size pin
for all four bolts. I'm really thinking it is my technique.
According to the 43.13 the head should fit snug - which I take to mean that they
shouldn't wiggle. Conceptually, I think the wiggling could lead to friction
erosion of the pin - with a potential for failure.
Maybe, I need to do this one using the other method for setting them - I've been
trying to bend one leg over the top and the other down - I may try the 'anchor'
method as shown in the 43.13.
Somebody tell me that I'm not out of my mind with my anal-retentiveness.....

I guess it is new enough on the market that their haven't been alot of opinions
formed yet. It sure seems to have a lot of features for the money. I understand
the bluetooth connection can be an issue, but I am not looking for that
feature as I will be using it as a portable unit in a (sorry to mention this
on this list :-)) Cessna 140 for mostly local flights.
Thanks

Ralph,
I concur with Carey's suggestion to secure the cotter pin with RTV. The most likely
cause of the loose fit of the pin will be the security hole drilled into
that one bolt. It is probably larger than the other 3 bolts.

Hi Ralph,
A little dab of some RTV or some such sealer should stop the rattling
cotter pin well enough.
Of course anyone seeing that little dab of RTV will immediately Know for
sure that you are out of your mind with your anal-retentiveness....{[;-)

I don't know what dismal reviews you saw, but here's an opposite
viewpoint.
I have been using Anywhere Map for several years. As with any company
there have been 'growing pains' and some bugs in new software issues.
Their latest seems to be a solid software platform.
I use Anywhere Map with XMWX and it is absolutely solid and trouble
free. I get almost immediate weather data from XM and the full color
moving map is quite nice. I use different GPS (paired to the Anywhere
Map) units to control the autopilot and hands-off flying using their
system is a real joy.
One thing to look at is data updates. For around $90/year I get
aeronautical data updates every 28-days and no longer buy sectional
maps. Software updates to AWM are also without cost.
There seems to be several moving map units on the market all with their
virtues. You pays yer money, and takes yer choice as they say. But
Anywhere Map is, in my opinion, a very good value.

I believe the "dismal review" was in reference to the new PDA unit AWM
is selling, not the software itself.

Sam,
Was that the new ATC unit that was just released that got the dismal
reviews?

Dave, I haven't read the reviews and don't know anything about the new
unit (a customized iPaq 310). I was just responding to the poster who
was under the impression the less than favorable reviews referenced were
concerning the software.
Some Googling will surely shed some light on this device.

Sorry I was not more clear the HP (Ipaq 310 I believe) unit not the Anyware map
is what got the dismal reviews that I saw. Also I do not believe the new HP unit
can interface with an AP. Here are some of the places I found reviews. Actually
there more reviews out not then when I first looked. It seems the route
calculation is what most people are not happy with. Not sure how that will affect
how the Anywhere software works. Bottom line sorry I was not clear on what
and where I saw the bad reviews.
