Jesse, thanks for the heads up. I will be back to the airplane

It's made of aluminum tubing.... the feet are dipped in a plastic bath....
and to use it as an aileron lock all you need is a short piece (6") of
velcro.... wrap it around the gust lock and the stick. The spring loaded
pin is there just so it can be stored as a shorter unit. You can put as
many holes as you'd like, or just one that compresses the spring all the
way.
Because I needed one quickly, I also made a pvc unit. It worked well, but
was heavy, bulky, and uglier than sh%&.
I installed it today and then went to the back of the plane and shook the
heck out of the rudder just to see if I could shake it loose.... no problem,

The other advantage is that you will NEVER be able to take off and forget to

That one is spring loaded as well. With a solid lock I think

I emailed a picture of the rudder lock which has the advantage of putting no
stress on any control linkages. For aileron and elevator I use the nylon
GIZMO locks sold at OSH last year. The only drawback there is that the nylon
RBF strip gets brittle in the sun; one strip broke but still useable.

One of the best solutions I have seen so far, IMHO, is a welded tube
on the front of each side of the Bogi Bar that will slide into a hole
on each of the pedals. With the arm extended and up against the back
of the seat, the seat belt can be used to hold it in place. Then you
can use the other seatbelt to hold the stick back (with the first
stick inside the middle triangle of the towbar) which will lock the
elevator and ailerons. The towbar is good to have with you when
traveling anyway, so the added weight is very small. If on a little
bit of a slope, it can push against the top of the pedals as a parking
break. If wind is expected, it can be on the bottom of the pedals as
a more secure gust lock.

I doubt seriously that one should use this as a substitute for chocks or a
real parking brake in the aircraft. Leaving a $100k + aircraft on an incline
with a tow bar pushed against the toe brakes seems a little chancy to me.

One of the best solutions I have seen so far, IMHO, is a welded tube on the
front of each side of the Bogi Bar that will slide into a hole on each of
the pedals. With the arm extended and up against the back of the seat, the
seat belt can be used to hold it in place. Then you can use the other
seatbelt to hold the stick back (with the first stick inside the middle
triangle of the towbar) which will lock the elevator and ailerons. The
towbar is good to have with you when traveling anyway, so the added weight
is very small. If on a little bit of a slope, it can push against the top
of the pedals as a parking break. If wind is expected, it can be on the
bottom of the pedals as a more secure gust lock.

| Subject: | Computer fan under glare shield |
After the AZ sun heats up my glare shield, my Dynon EFIS sometimes
indicates
it's overheated.
I bought a thin computer fan to install figuring it would be both a
defrost
fan as well as remove
heat from under the shield. It's 12 V and has 3 wires attached: red,
black,
and yellow. Are any
of you computer knowledgeable enough to tell me which wire does what. I
want
to hook it up to
an on-off switch to 12 V.

And here is another way to make a gust lock. I attach it after the stick is

Albert,
As a data point I purchased an 2 ultra high velocity
computer fans to act as you describes, heat removal & defrost. They had
something like 3 times the airflow as normal computer fans and are a bit
louder. After installing them I am surprised how much less air flow is
blown through then than I expected. I can only imagine if I had used a
standard fan the disappointment I would feel. I have yet to need the
fans for defrost but I am glad I upgraded.
www.NewEgg.com rates them by CFM & dBA
Average Case Fan ~ 20-40 CFM $5.00
High Volume Fans ~70-90 CFM $8.00
Ultra High Volume
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835705057>
~100-120 CFM $10-20.00
WOW <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213008>
175 CFM $35.00
Ridicules
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835706019>
217 CFM $42.00 (note 120 MM may be too big)
Don't be surprised if you own 35 CFM fan.

I did the same on my glareshield. I originally installed the fan as only a
defrost fan, however, last weekend I had to turn it on to keep the
temperature down on my EFIS units. I connected the black wire to ground and
the red wire to +12V. I switched the +12V power. I snipped and shrink
wrapped the yellow wire. You can experiment with a 12V battery to confirm
that is the correct wiring.

Albert,
My Dynon was doing the same thing, here in cool NorCal. Eventually it woul
d
just go black. I tried venting the top of the panel (no help), and blowing
some cool air up behind the panel from the NACAs (that helped a little).
Finally we put a 12V fan from McMaster (P/N 1939K39) above the Dynon,
blowing down on the finned part of the case. That helped a lot. I haven't
seen the problem since.
I don't use it as a defrost fan, just for cooling the Dynon. It takes cool
air from one of the vent holes in the glareshield and blows it down from
there.
