Nah, not that much work. A pointy exacto carves the nylon away nicely.
Just pull the seat back as far as it will go. Look at the front side of the
seat rails and carve away the nylon portion that's preventing the seat back
from coming up.

I am going to be installing a Vertical Power system in the next month and a
half. Those who are interested in the system can write me off list if they
are interested in talking about the setup. Stein highly recommended it,
which was enough for me. I'll let the list know what we think once we are
flying with it.

Albert,
I just finished installing mine and pressure tested it. I think the ground is the
mount's screws attached to the airplane. The center screw picks up the resistance.
Frankly, I don't think it makes any difference which way you wire it since
it's just ohms, but I ain't no electrician....
Maybe you don't have a good ground. Put an ohmmeter to the big screw and one of
the mounting screws to see what you got. The swing on mine was 31 full, 245 empty.
Good luck.

Get a dehumidifier. Make it bone dry in there if you can and you'll have nothing
but dessicated spiders that can be vacuumed out.

| Subject: | Pitot/Static fittings on TruTrak Digflight ll VSVG |
Has anyone had any difficulty with attaching pitot/static lines to the
Tru-Trak A/P?
I've got the pitot/static kit from Safeair, and it has the 'instant'
brass fittings that you screw into the various instruments and then push
the poly tubing into. The brass fittings fit into the encoder, the ADC,
the Dynon EFIS, but NOT the Tru Trak, When I attempt to screw them in
they begin to cock to one side, forcing it will result in the threads
being stripped. it appears that the holes that are tapped in what
appears to be a black plastic fitting on the rear of the Tru Trak are
slightly smaller (rough measurement w/ caliper confirms. Anybody know
what size threads these are? I checked the install manual but nothing
referenced there.

What are others doing to route the second tube, wiring, and controller in the wing?
I'm thinking of enlarging the Vans pitot snap bushings to a larger size and
mounting the controller to the inside of the bottom skin with an access panel.
I'm reluctant to route tubing through lightening holes.

Deems:
It's normal 1/8" pipe thread. I used nylo-seal fitting, and they went right
in. And, the same fitting fit all instruments, as well as, the TT.
Good luck,

I had a similar problem. Once I got them started they went in easy.....to
easy for me and I ended up cracking the piece of plastic. I emailed
Tru-Trak and they told me I had to send the unit back. The fittings are
supposed to be finger tight and then a quarter turn, no more. I sent my unit
back and they replaced the plastic piece and put the fitting in for
me......I sent the fitting back with the unit and asked them to do it.
Other than my shipping cost to them, they did it for free. Only took about
10 days. Great company, great support.

Three questions for ya'll,
For those with a Gretz pitot, where did you mount the control circuit
board? I have Safe Air static kit, did you use the green nylon tube all
the way to the pitot or Van's aluminum tube?
(Tim I know you used AL tube from your site.)
On my Tru-Trak roll servo there is a "stop limit bracket." Did you
install this?
Thanks!!!

I have had this happen in the past. You just have to work at it a little
bit to get it straight then it goes in with out trouble. It is the same
threads as all the other instruments I have used, just a little tougher to
get started.

Check these pics re Gretz location
:http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%2020%20Bottom%20Wing%20Skin/slides/DSC02110.html
I used the green tube all the way to the pitot, im not sure this is the
best way, I tried contacting Gretz, but couldn't get an answer. My
reasoning was that the benefit of the Gretz is that it cycles the
current on & off as required so that the pitot head isn't always hot,
and therefore it shouldn't get as hot as the traditional installations ?????
Re stop limit bracket : Yes I did :

Jessie,
Make periodic posts on the list. It should be of interest to
the -10 crowd. Posting seems easier than a bunch of different
conversations about the same thing.
Just a thought,
