IMHO, too many US buyers are interested in the cheapest purchase price and not looking at the long term. Manufacturers respond to the consumer...most times. Can you say "Wally World."

Not only did Slick issue two service bulletins in May, they revised one to SB2-08A on July 1. IMHO, too many US industries are interested in a quick profit and not looking at the long term.

CA, USA _____ From: rice737@msn.com Subject: RE: RV-List: SLICK MAGS I have the slick mags on my TMX IO-360 as well as the ECI cylinders and had the Superior Ryton sump. The ryton sump I can understand being taken off the market, it was truely experimental, but the other parts are 1920's technology and they still can't get it right. I use to always buy American, but purchesed my first Jap car last year after a bad experience with an American type. Now all this too. I just doesn't seem to stop. Maybe we have lost all our engineering and manufacturing ability here. Maybe Honda or Toyota will start to make an engine for our RV's Paul Rice RV8 85 hours so far. http://www.matronics.com/Namatronics.com/contribution" target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/cont========= ====== _____ Do more with your photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery.

A couple of you have written very good and insightful notes on this subject. Suppose you sent them to Aviation Consumer, their sister mx rag, Flying, AOPA Pilot, Kitplanes, et al as Op Ed pieces. That way, the issue will be out in the open pre-Oshkosh. Well, as I type this, it occurs to me that none of them will get into print by the time OSH comes around, except perhaps via Barnstormers and AvWeb. In any case, you guys could document the situation in public prior to the event. If anything happens enr to or fro the convention, your concerns will have been registered before hand. Hopefully, this situation will trigger a pre-emptive action on slick's part. If not, your efforts will no doubt be of great assistance to anyone going to court. Just a thought- glen matejcek aerobubba@earthlink.net ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:21:25 AM PST US From: Shemp Subject: RV-List: Dynon draining battery? My aircraft battery doesnt seem to be keeping charge as well as it used to, and its new. I am hearing a rythmic ticking at a one second interval sometimes but not always, with the master off. I have my Dynon D-10A wired to charge the internal battery without the master being on. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this mysterious ticking or noticed a battery drain with their Dynon.

Check your hobbs on the dynon... does it appear to be gaining time with the master off? If so, then you may have the dynon keep alive wired incorrectly... -Bill Shemp wrote: > > My aircraft battery doesnt seem to be keeping charge as well as it > used to, and its new.
