    Don't know why you are having a problem!!! I have safeair tanks and lopresti lights. I simply installed the power converter in the last bay of the leading edge. I had it in the wing tip, but moved it because I was getting radio interferance on my nav, because of the nav anteena in the tip. The light is close, but does not conflict with the fuel tank. I LOVE MY LOPESTI LIGHTS!!!!! Jim 369JW Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=129929#129929

    Hi Jim. The power converter is not the problem. The light itself, and the bracket the light is mounted on, hits the tank and will not let me get the tip anywhere near where it needs to be to install. I would love to see some photos if you have any. I would sure love to be able to install these lights.

    Hello everyone. Are there any RV guys in Sacramento CA? I am stranded in Sacramento. My VM100C has failed and I need tools and a place to do a little bit of work. Please call me on my cell phone 772-418-1417 if you can help. For everyone's information: VMC1000C has been replaced by a new model, including all wiring and probes. If you have an older model, contact them to get your unit exchanged. Do not archive. Rob Kermanj

    Subject: Sec 29 - Forward Fuse Side Skins riveting question
    On the forward fuse side skins when riveting the very bottom row (the edge that you bent). The rear most 3-3.5 rivet is impossible to buck due to the F-1042 bulkhead above it. The rivet is sandwiched between the bulkhead and the F-1049C fwd fuse floor rib. Does anyone have any wisdom to impart for this rivet? Looks like a good candidate for a MK-319-BS rivet.

    Interesting, I had just a friend with the same failure after only 30hrs on it, the unit would have get exchanged but they wanted close to 2000$ for all the probes as the old once could not be reused! He swapped back over night to conventional instruments! Werner Rob Kermanj wrote: > > Hello everyone. Are there any RV guys in Sacramento CA? I am > stranded in Sacramento.

    Subject: Re: Sec 29 - Forward Fuse Side Skins riveting question
    Looks like a good candidate for a MK-319-BS rivet. Based my (limited) experience building the complete empennage kit I would go the way of the pop rivet. Per Van's one or two MK-319-BS will not be a big deal when the other rivets are correctly riveted. I have learned that trying to rivet something hard to reach is simply not worth it (to me).

    Could someone tell me how far down to put the EGT probes on the exhaust please? I know they have to be clear of plugs so just need the distance. Dynon directions say to check with engine manufacturer. regards Chris

    Chris, You want them 2"-4" from the head. They should all be as close as possible to the same distance. The tip of the probe is the sensor, so if they end up on a curved section and therefore mounted at an angle, try to measure or at least estimate where the tip will end up.

    Anyone giving JPI any serious thought for anything needs to search the various Matronics archives for JPI. You will quickly see that, in my opinion, their ethics are a bit questionable to say the least.

    Subject: EGT probes
    Using Vetterman exhaust, mine are all about 2''. Put them as far down as possible on the straight portion of the exhaust. Find the cylinder with the shortest straight section and use it as the distance for all. This way they will all be at the same distance from the engine. -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Saylor" <Dave@AirCraftersLLC.com> Sent: 8/20/07 6:53 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: EGT probes Chris, You want them 2"-4" from the head.

    Ok another Question. My maggies came with a new harness which is not atached to the maggies. The maggies have a dust cover on them. My question is how do you know how to oriantate the new cover with the wires comming out on to the maggies ? Ok left maggie left harness but it will fit in several positions by rotating. If I look inside the maggie it says L and R and there is also a X. The cover has a number 4 on it on inside and a No 1 on the outside. regards chris thanks for replies for egt

    If you take it and look VERY carefully, you will see that in reality there is only one orientation that the harness will truly fit in perfect alignment in. It is very hard to see when the engine is on the mount already, as there's not much room to get in there and look. That's how to *orient* the harness.
