| Subject: | Reviews of Anywhere Travel Comanion? |
Listers,
My trusty 295 has given up the ghost and my PDA based Anywheremap is getting
mighty tired. If possible I would like to combine the functions into one
sunlight readable unit that will let me use the XM receiver I already own.
Anywheremap will upgrade my XM receiver to work with their new ATC for only $100
which sounds like a winner but I find the lack of press coverage of this new
unit to be a little suspicious.
Anyone out there with experience with this ATC unit? I don't need it for
the car so that side of the unit is of no use. The PDA unit I have is nearly
unreadable in the sun and if I don't use it every two weeks max I have to go
through reinstalling the software and so on. The ATC offers the potential of
bypassing many of those faults.
I have a Garmin 420 for primary navcom and this is backup and weather only,
so $2400 for a 495 is a bit much for me.
Thanks for any insights.

| Subject: | Lasar Mags For Sale |
I'm selling these for a friend who is getting out of flying. Along
the way he ended up with some spare Lasar Mags for his RV-8, neither
of which he ended up needing, so they went into his spares cabinet.
These are each being sold independently, as they are each timed a bit
differently. One (with "left mag" handwritten on the box) is timed
at 25 degrees and the other (with "right mag" handwritten on the box)
is timed at 20 degrees. Both of these have been installed, but only
run briefly. When removed they were in working condition.
A quick look on the web (at AC$, to be honest) they seem to sell new
for about $1600. A few pictures can be seen at :

My understanding is that my friend will be happy with 1/2 the going
price for these units. If you are interested drop me a line with an
offer, I'll see if he agrees, and we'll ship them out to you right
away. Help me with this last little bit of hangar cleaning! :)

| Subject: | HobbyAir For Sale |
I have a HobbyAir 1 that I know I'll never use again, so it is up
for sale. I paid about $400 for it a few years ago. It is the single
person unit, and I got the full hood because with a beard I worried
that the face mask would not seal well enough.
You can see a few quick pictures at :
http://picasaweb.google.com/DwightRFrye/HobbyAirForSale
I used this a few times, but the unit is in excellent condition. I
do have a few paint smears on the hose, but otherwise the worst
abuse it has taken is to collect a little dust while in storage.
A quick look shows them as being a bit more expnsive these days, but
I'd be happy to get $300 out of it. If you are interested drop me
a line, and if you think I'm asking too much .. make me an offer.

| Subject: | Re: UV SmoothPrime progress |
On June 8, 2008 I made a rather long post describing how I used UV
Smoothprime. I've altered my technique for the better lately and I
thought, for the record, I'd add what I have learned since.
I follow the steps outlined in the earlier post with the exception that
I now
1- wait 1/2 hr between successive coats of UV smoothprime (instead of
15min) and
2- sand each coat lightly at the end of the 1/2hr, blow of the dust with
compressed air and then start the next coat.
The sanding is VERY modest. Sanding my whole lower cowl - the largest
piece on the plane - with 400 grit open coat paper is only 5 or 10
minutes of work. You aren't trying to really smooth it out. You're just
trying to break open any tiny bubbles that have formed. These tend to
happen more at the edges, but can happen anywhere. Don't over sand the
edges - it's easy to go all the way thru at the edge!
After all 6 or 7 light coats are applied, the piece is pretty smooth to
start with and sands rapidly to a completely smooth surface. Polyfiber
says don't sand all the way thru it. It is used to rebuild the surface,
not spot fill pinholes (although it does that too). Use the glancing
illumination technique with a pen light described in the earlier email.
I think this is crucial in spotting pinholes and imperfections and
especially in telling you when to stop sanding a spot. If you're not
real near-sighted, put on a pair of strong drug store reading glasses so
you can become near-sighted. Or use a big magnifier. It's a definite
plus in examining the surface visually.
I don't claim to be a fiberglass expert or even a proponent of UV smooth
Prime. There are probably better ways to finish fiberglass. I'm just
reporting that I finally figured out a way to use the stuff that seems
to work well. Beware that my process contradicts Polyfiber's
documentation and advice!! I couldn't get the stuff to work using their
advice. I was probably doing it wrong - putting it on too thick, I'd
guess. But this procedure seems to have a high probability of working,
for me anyway.

4771 is a LEFT mag with Sensor and 4770 is a RIGHT Non-Sensor Mag. The 4770
can be set up at either 20 or 25 degrees depending on how the user install
s it.
Unison LASAR L-1525-E Price List revised 03-01-2006 has a MSRP of $738 for
the 4770 mag and $830 for the 4771 mag. If your friend has them sitting on
the shelf in his spares cabinet=2C he would not have paid more than that f
or them.
Unsion had a VERY SUBSTANTIAL increase in their LASAR prices this year. IF
someone is willing to pay what your friend paid=2C your friend will be gett
ing a good deal.

Gary,
Thanks for the feedback. I've not wanted to go the LASAR route so have
little experience with specific models and prices. This is good info.
I'll pass it on to him, and see what he'll really want for them. I'm just
trying to lend a hand because I "inherited" his hangar .. and am helping
him unload a few items.
