Subject: | compass location |
We are finalizing our panel design and are looking for the least
unacceptable location for a whiskey or vertical card compass. I have read
that they never work if panel mounted and some find the glare shield
location unacceptable. We will , hopefully , have the Dynon Skyview system
and a 430. It would be nice if the compass worked. If it is only going to
be for looks I guess it wouldn't matter where we put it..Thanks

Subject: | Re: Airing up the tires through the wheel pants. |
I had same problem. I solved it by purchasing the "Leak Proof" inner
tubes from Desser tire and rubber. I now find that I loose less than
one pound of air per month. I also went with the Goodyear custome 3
tire. No problems over the last 500 hours.

Subject: RV-List: Airing up the tires through the wheel pants.
My Wheel pants have been installed on my airplane for less than a year
and I am already finding the disadvantage of checking/ filling the air
in the tires. I am sure there has been discussion of putting holes in
the wheel pants for access to the valve stem. Does anyone have any
photos on their building sites of where to put these holes, how big, and
what if anything is used to plug the holes? I would appreciate any
feedback on this simple thing.
Thanks

I drilled I believe a 1 inch hole in the side of the wheel pant and used
one of those metal covers that are used one the top of a Piper Cherokee wing
to cover the strut schrader valve. Then just get a valve core extension
screw it in and you are good to go. Worked fine.

Subject: | Re: compass location |
I bought a Pegasus from AC Spruce. I moved it around on the completed
panel which was powered at the time. I found an area on the right side
of the panel where there was no interferance and mounted the compas
there. It seems to be working well 1.5 yes later.
Good luck
Dave

Just wondering why you are installing a compass. The Dynon satisfies the
requirement to have a magnetic heading indicator.

So how do you deal with getting the valve stem cap on and off with only a
one inch hole? Go up from the sides or do you just not use a cap?
Thanks

Thanks Everyone for the responses about the tires. I plan to drill a hole
in my pants to accept my placing an extension through to air them up as
others have suggested. I don't think I will put a door in as I just don't
feel like messing with the fiberglass again.
