| Subject: | Re: Transponder Antenna Location |
I have mine on the centerline just aft of the fire wall. Mine too looks
like the exhaust might block some of the signal, but it has worked fine all
the time. Mine is quite far forward before the pipes get very far down
along the sides of the antenna. I have the big Forsling exhaust that is
about 3" in diameter at the end.

Kelly, we did have the typical inspection performed where he sets up a tests
apparatus, but that is done in the shop. Is there another way they test?
We have not narrowed it to a specific geographic location, it seems to
happen at random. Our suspicion is that the antenna is being shadowed by
the exhaust pipes. We were going to move the antenna back a foot or so, but
wanted to get some feedback before making an assumption that that is the
real problem. If others have it in the same location and are not having the
problem then we would need to dig deeper. We did verify the cables and
connections were good.

I used the right back seat armrest area. It is easy to hear an reverberates in
the cabin. Also easy to wire and repair in this area.
I think that you have to check the impedance to match the output.
Just remember magnets

Any suggestions for long life EGT probes? I have 278 TT on my RV10 and have
replaced 3 EGT probes from GRT. Failures have been on 6 then 4 (or 2) then
1. #2 failed this morning. Some are the original GRT EIS probes and some are
their allegedly long life probes. I lost the third one on a trip to IL and
GRT FEDEXed two "long life" probes to IL. I changed #1 and kept the spare.
This morning on a local training flight, #2 failed (again?). Probes are
located 2 inches below the exhaust port (specs call 2-6"). EGTs normally see
high 1300 /low 1400 in cruise. takeoff and climb EGTs are 1200-1350. At
altitude the LOP operation usually provided CHTs (275-325) and EGTs
(1360-1410). GEM probes on a previous aircraft (TC177RG) were rated for
1650 F red line and since my normal operation was about EGTs at 1400. I
replaced two probes in 29 years of ownership and 2500 hours. I have now
replaced 4 GRT probes in 278 hours. I am considering a completely new set of
Alcor or GEM probes

Dave, I have almost the same exact hours on the EI fast response
probes installed in my Mooney at 1.5" from exhaust flange, per their
instructions. Haven't replace any so far.

It's probably been covered, but what where your indications of a probe
failure? I've got one on the fritz reading a constant very low temp but I
don't know if it's the wiring or the probe gone bad. I also have the GRT
setup and 450 hours TT.
Thanks,

| Subject: | Left Wingtip Length |
I know there's been many discussions about wingtips that are too long,
but going through the archives I cannot find how much is too much. My
left wingtip is ~3/16 of an inch too long. It is aligned correctly with
the aileron and I'm more worried about cutting and re-glassing it
causing mis-alignment.
Is 3/16 too much so as to effect flight, or should I be satisfied that
the alignment is good and just leave it? How much extra length have
others just left?

I had a probe failure at 25hrs. Symptoms were intermittent extremes (zero
to top of scale) while the engine was running/hot. Could not replicate the
fault on the ground with the engine at ambient (though the temp from the d
odgy probe differed from the others by a few degs) - it really looked like
an intermittent connection due to engine vibe. Replaced the probe and it w
orked like a charm (after much investigation into the connectors).

The present failure is a constant low value reading. about 100-150.
Other failures have been erratic. For example a 900 reading followed a
second later by a 1300 reading. When removed, that probe had the outer
cover burnt off and the welded leads to a small thermocouple were
showing . One lead was detached from the thermocouple and was
intermittently touching. the exhaust gases passing by would have caused
the intermittent readings. will send picture of failed lead from
another computer if I find it.

My left tip was 1/2" too long while the right was perfect. Mark it to length, cut
it, then split it if needed and bevel the inside so it mates up nice. Rough
the inside up with 36 grit REAL good including a 1" forward area for taping.
Mix up some stiff flox, butter up the joint and clamp it straight with light spring
clamps. Filet the inside with a little flox, paint the sanded area with
pure epoxy and apply 2 layers of 1.5 - 2" BID fiberglass tape cut on the diagonal
and wet them out. Trim and finish when cured.

I think it's just an aesthetic issue, not a safety of flight one.
It's kind of like the sanding/filing down of the wing skin where they
overlap at the spar. Some have to have that seam perfectly flush
while some just rivet it on as it comes from Van's.
