Remember to include a cigaret lighter socket on your panel. When you
need to power up things on the panel, you need not use the battery that
will start your plane. By using a spare battery, like the one on my CH
battery powered compressor (Walmart at about $ 70.00), plugged in to the
socket, will provide power for your glass panel etc. I can run my glass
panels for set ups and setting up my Trutrak etc with out running down
the aircraft battery. This in addition to keeping the tires properly
inflated. A nice piece of multipurpose equipment at a reasonable price.

the manifold gauge that vans sends with his unit.i have replaced three
senders in 135 hours,the last one just went out again 10 miles out a few
minutes ago,any one have any ideas as to what is causing this problem,or
where to get them with out having to buy the whole set up from vans,i know
vans sez to replace both, i have done, but also looking at the back of the
units,the dates made are differant, so that tells me that they are not a
matched pair,as far as viberation,the last time one went out,i mounted the
unit on plastic ties, hanging from the bulkhead, take that away from it to
see if thats the problem,i dont think thats it,any ideas from anyone on

Do you have a restrictor type fitting in the engine? I had a problem where the
vacuum on the line at shut down would suck small amounts of fuel Into the line,
evaporate and leave fuel dye to foul things up!!!

I'll make an "improvement" on Jim's recommendation. Obtain a marine cigarette socket
and plug from your local marine supply house (Boat Owners Warehouse, West
Marine, etc). These vendors carry "locking" cigarette socket/plug combos. These
will prevent the plug from vibrating out of the socket due to rough air or
that Lycoming! See

That's similar to the socket that Aerotronics installed in my panel; I like
it. However, I opted for a different ground power source, especially as I
intended the socket to power an MP3 player and, besides, don't want to have
to leave my canopy open to power my system. I have a Battery Tender
(batterytender.com) 1.5 Amp unit, with a permanent connection to my main
battery accessible through the oil filler door. I find that I can use the
system for panel checks and such (I've been wiring my panel and engine for
the past year) without significantly draining the battery and overnight it
is full again. If you need more than that, they have a 5 Amp model, but
it's much more expensive. BTW, I discovered them when I needed a good
charger for my motorcycle, which is a replica generator Shovelhead; the
generator does not do a good job of replenishing charge when you make a lot
of short trips, so I generally leave it on charge overnight. Three years
and both battery and the tender are going strong.
