I am thinking about the installation of my Gretz pitot and have some questions.
I have installed the mount in the 2nd from the tip bay as others have done and
suggested by Gretz as the optimum location. I am curious about future access
to the electronic control module. It has to be fairly close to the tube and I
am wondering where others are mounting it. Has anyone put an additional access
panel in the wing in that area? [Question]

I have it on a nearby rib so it's accessible by removing
the wingtip. On one hand, it's nice to have access to it,
but on the other, you really hopefully won't need to have
access to it. So it's worth making it convenient, without
going overboard and trying to make it ultra-convenient,
unless you can do it without a lot of effort.
I'd avoid the extra wing access panel if possible. I didn't
have the best of fun putting in the one for the stall warning.
Those skins can be prone to oil canning if your doubler
plate install doesn't go in just perfectly. I had to add
stiffners around my stall warning doublers.

The word from Mattituck was that it was discontinued and then there was
going to be a replacement coming out early this year (Feb or March). You
could call Mattituck, but that's all I know about it. I had to send one
back because it was bad and then they told me that, so they just gave me my
money back after I decided that I didn't want the new one.

Do you think the fan will even be heard over the 260HP fan in the front,
especially with ANR headsets? I doubt it (for those who are doing noise
reduction in headsets instead of insulating the whole plane).

Jesse,
Absolutely correct. But why add more noise when you don't have to.
There must be hundreds of fans to choose from, so pick a quiet one. And
it won't even cost any more.

| Subject: | Good Test of cockpit lighting/Defrost Fans with Night IFR Departure |
For those who've been following the defrost fan thread, I've got
a good pirep of how my 60mm fans worked in actual necessary conditions.
Last night I had a great opportunity to test out my fans, and my
new cockpit lighting, with a late-night full IFR departure with
1/4mile vis in drizzle and fog and haze. I just recently reworked
my cockpit lighting with stuff I got from Stein, and it couldn't have
been better timing. Everything worked perfectly and made a big
difference in how easy everything was.
Also, the departure was very near a big wind-turbine farm, and with
the synthetic vision on the EFIS this made for a very interesting
but safe departure. I wish I had pictures to show on this one.
I did a combined write-up showing my lighting installation, along
with a good trip write-up that you may find enjoyable if you're
into those types of things. It was a great way to kick off the
fun IFR spring season here in Wisconsin.
Here's a link to both the story and the lighting install photos:

I will say I don't disagree with this Larry. Quiet is nice. I do
actually like that mine are audible though. I have them turn on with
the master, and by having that hum there, I don't forget to turn
off the master. So there is an upside to them having a little noise.
But any loud or buzzing noise would be a pain.

By the way, last night I filed IFR as RV-10/G, and not only did
Flight service take it, but flightaware.com reported it correctly.
It's nice to finally get away from HXB/G.
ATC still called me "Cirrus 4CD" all the time though, so I had
to give her a reminder I was an RV10. But if you're gonna
mis-call our planes, you may as well do it by calling us
something good like a cirrus. ;)

Great info on your cockpit lighting and good timing as I am making those decisions
now for my panel. I recently posed the question of red versus blue lighting
to a friend who is an ophthalmologist, long time pilot with 6 planes ( C421,
C185 on floats, C150, Pitts, Fuqua jet, Eclipse vlj on order. Must be tough staying
current in all his toys.) Without getting into a discussion of photoreceptors
and how the eye works, his response is "if you are primarily interested
in seeing outside the cockpit go with red lights. If you are more concerned about
reading maps, charts, etc in the cockpit go with blue lighting." He uses
only blue.

That's for sure. Not only is the suffix similar, but they even
look similar. I got my number reserved and very shortly after
they spent a lot of money and reserved hundreds (or maybe
thousands) with that suffix so they'd be the only ones who
could get them. I guess I've been called worse things. ;)

Anyone using any wing root connectors (between inboard section of the

If you are, or have thought about using them, which ones are you using?
I have already decided to have connectors there, so that decision is

there.

I don't know if there is a standard, but I know Randy used the big
black round CPC connectors.
Example: http://www.abletronics.com/ampconnectors/cpcseries1.html
I bought a bunch of various CPC connectors that I had planned to use
but they're all still sitting in their packages. I ended up
in favor of continuous strands. Some day I'll dig them out and
itemize them and offer them up for sale. Mouser.com is a great place
to buy them. They aren't really that cheap when you start to add in
the costs of pins, crimpers, and all the other stuff. They are
nice connectors though, if you are going to use them.

CPC connectors from mouser.com are great. I use series 1 free-hanging connectors
for all wiring and just normal BNC's for coax. For the strobes I use 4 pins
with the 4th being for the un-insulated wire. This allows you to wire the
whole plane before installing the wings. I also use these in the
Wingtips and anywhere else that I want to be able to disconnect in the future to
work on stuff.
Call me if you have more questons about this.

Go with the blue. In the absence of a white light, and only the red

| Subject: | Re: Wing Root Connectors |
I know of no standard. I find Molex connectors to be the easiest to use
and most of them are keyed so they only plug in one way. In the wing
root and tips where they have the possibility of getting wet, I spray
them liberally with Boshield.

| Subject: | Scat tubing resting on WD-1010? |
Hey all -
I'm doing something funny, and in trying to fit everything in the
tunnel, I was trying to figure out how the scat tubing for the rear heat
was kept away from WD-1010, and there's no mention of it really. I
looked on the websites of all the usual suspects, and it looks like
everyone is just routing it over top of the WD-1010 control column and
it just sits there. is this right? am I just so conditioned to keeping
everything away from everything else that it's making me overthink?
Help!

Sorry, non-edible. :-D
Boshield can be found at any good boat store. Excellent for use as a
moisture shield. I believe it was developed by Boeing (the 'bo' part
but that may be urban legend too) for corrosion/moisture protection.
You can buy it in spray can or gallon can, and when diluted it makes a
great corrosion proofer ala ACF-50 and the like. Doesn't seem to
attract dust/dirt like the CRC line.

They also have larger AWG pins

I ended up using 2 connectors on one wing after adding 2 outside air probes
and 2 magnatometers

Anyone using any wing root connectors (between inboard section of the wing
and the fuselage) for the wiring?
If you are, or have thought about using them, which ones are you using?
I have already decided to have connectors there, so that decision is made
already. I am just at a loss for what is "standard" for connectors there.

Boeshield is good but I use the more readily available OX-100 Oxyguard anti
oxidant paste available at Loews/HD (aviation) electrical department.

David;
Take a look at my kit log site. I posted a few pics of the plate I made
to attach the circuit board. Finished attaching the internal wiring and
closing everything up a few weeks ago. Went well. I can access the
board and remove the tube for service at a later date all from the
current access panel

Yes designed by Boeing. I will be using this product on interior

I plan on using something that no one else has mentioned. Where there is a
simple positive/ negative connection, I plan on using something that is used
extensively in radio controlled vehicle electrical systems, They are called
Deen's connectors.

| Subject: | Lightspeed Ignition |
I'm hooking up the wires from the Lightspeed sensors at the flywheel to
the
computer and I'm wondering how others have gotten the 15 pin d-sub
connector
through the firewall. I have removed the hood and found they used a
solder
cup connector so I don't want to desolder the wires. It looks like I
could
turn the connector block sideways and reduce the size the of hole
required
to let it pass through the firewall but about the smallest I can squeeze
the
wires down to is 1". Then the problem is-where do I find a 1" snap
bushing
with a very large ID?
