| Subject: | thermawing deicing |
Anyone have any insight into this all electric deicing product?
http://www.rddent.com/products_therm-x.html
Started as a NASA funded project, already STC'd for Columbia. Looks like its made
possible with a 100amp/75 volt alternator. Not sure if it is a single or
dual amp system. Details are a bit sketchy. Cool, now I can install a big flat
panel TV in the back seat.

We've installed the complete system, less leading edges, on two (composite)
planes. When they're finished, they'll be flown to RDD to have the leading
edges installed. Unfortunately, there's no provision for using their
alternator for anything but the de-ice system.
They're a good company to work with.

| Subject: | thermawing deicing |
I talked to them about a year ago as I was interested in flying out of the
valley here in Oregon during the winter. However=2C it is not designed for
known ice.
During the winter we will get a cloud deck at ~3=2C000=2C freezing level at
6=2C000 and you need 12=2C000 to head east from here. So it didn't fit my
needs at the time. It is a neat system.

| Subject: | Cracked hole for engine mount |
While enlarging the first of the holes through firewall from 3/16" to 3/8"
for the engine mount, the drill got "caught." Kept going, got caught
again. Removed it and noticed two cracks in the aluminum piece that goes
between the firewall and the steel weldment (I believe this is F-1001B).
These cracks are through the entire thickness of the material. I'm guessing
this is case of too slow/too much pressure on the drill. I was drilling
undersize, so I reamed it out to 3/8", but the cracks are still there.
Anyone heard of this happening, or am I the only idiot that has done this?
Of course, it's Saturday morning, so I have to wait two days to call Van's.
Thinking about replacing that F-1001B part makes my head hurt.

| Subject: | Re: Cracked hole for engine mount |
I just carefully examined the other top engine mount hole (which I haven't
touched yet) and there's a huge chunk of material missing beyond where the
3/16" hole is! This is a quickbuild kit, of course, as I would have never
riveted that piece with the hole looking like that. I'm wondering if that
may be part of the problem.

I'd like to use it if available.
Alternatively, where's a good place to buy a 5/16" 100deg countersink?
BTW, I replaced the stock rear seat belt arrangement by adding 2
additional hardpoints - so I have to countersink 4 holes.
Thanks!

Hey Bill "looking for a hole sinker not like Tiger" Watson,
Mike Lefever presently has the countersink and just emailed me to see if it
was alright to keep it until after the holidays. It would be best if he
sent it directly to you when he's finished instead of detouring through me.
PM me and I'll get you his info in case he doesn't see this.

Alright, it sounds like what I'm seeing is the joint between two aluminum
pieces. It's not clear from the plans where those two aluminum pieces
join, and since it's a QB, I didn't build that part. Not sure whether I
feel smarter or dumber now :)

| Subject: | Re: G3i Ignition |
Kelly,
I have no idea how this system works but to say it's physically impossible is not
correct. Here is how it might work:
The RPM's of an engine change slowly, compared to the time between cylinder firings.
The black box knows the rpms, and thus the time between plug firings. From
the time the points close, it can time the plug to next fire not 720 degrees,
but say 710 degrees (10 degrees of advance) later. In other words, the points
may control not the current firing, but the one after that, with a timer (sync'd
to the rpm) controlling the actual time.
As I said, I don't know if the system does this. But it might. It certainly wouldn't
be hard to implement. The only real limitation is that the distributor contacts
need to be in contact at that time.

| Subject: | Re: Voyager Lifetime chart subscription |
I have Seattle Avionics SkyPad. Like time, I have been very happy with the unit
(checking my email & this forum with it right now...)
SSD - I have the 32 gig SSD drive and have ever chart, approach plate, Sectional,
TACs, Lo-Enroute etc charts for the entire country installed. Takes up about
7-8 gigs. I find the 32gig size to be more than adequate.
Lifetime - I have the lifetime charts..great deal. What a difference having every
plate and chart in the country.
SkyPad - nice device. I do all my weather and trip planning on it as well as my
inflight work on it. Completely underestimated the convenience of doing it
all on one machine......the skypad is definitely a great way to go...
Financial Health of Seattle Avionics - I think that it helps alot that Bendix/King
outsources their chart processing to SA. Gives SA more cash flow and I take
comfort in knowing that Bendix/King takes great strides to keep their employees
onboard..
----- Short answer is JUST DO IT! The Skypad is a great deal!
Best,
Doug
I really think EFBs have finally come of age and will help pilots evolve into better
airman.
