But if you were to do that, why take it apart in the first place. MT Propeller says it is a "bad thing" to just change the location of the go vernor arm on the splined shaft. Of course, MT Propeller and MT Propeller USA do this themselves when they s et up the governor. But they each have a $50,000 governor flow bench to se t the governor properly. BTW, your MT Governor can be shipped to MT Propeller USA to be set properly for the IO-540 engine you have. Van's Aircraft sells new Lycomng engines which are wide deck IO-540 engines with a 0.947:1 gear ratio to drive the governor. Van's aircraft sells new MT governors set for the narrow deck IO-540 engine which has a 0.895:1 gear ratio. So the new MT governor on the new Lycoming IO-540 engine will only allow ab out 2550 RPM maximum. MT Propeller USA can set up you new MT governor from Van's Aircraft so it w ill be very close to 2700 RPM maximum. Please remember that the propeller low pitch stop should limit the engine t o between 2600 and 2650 RPM on a full throttle static runup. Changing the governor setting should not change the full throttle static RP M if the low pitch propeller.stop is set properly.

Years ago, I was flying with a Sigtronics intercom that was battery powered, when the batteries went out so did the headset (happened to me IFR over the Sierras). So there's an instance of a com'l (TSO'd?) device that was battery dependent. It seems that the experimental market usually leads in innovation on these type of things, and I for one, would certainly like to have a 'cordless cockpit'.

They'd be selling to a smaller market, and the risk to them if they produced something that quit working when the batteries died would be too bad...they'd lose all their profits to the lawsuit in the first crash that was blamed on poor headset design. Sure, you'll probably find some experimental dude, or small company, willing to take the risk blindly and come out with a product...but then again, to date there aren't many really true "ideal" choices in headsets...for most it's either you want cheap, or you want real nice quality...which limits it to only a few headset choices. If Bose, Lightspeed, David Clark, Telex can't TSO it, it probably won't ever happen.

Bluetooth headsets do well with battery, in standby. Actual talk time life, and streaming music life isn't nearly as good. If you got rechargeables, it would be inconvenient to charge...pulling the headsets out to charge or whatever, after a flight. Could be a pain on a long trip. Carrying lots of batteries would be a pain too. FWIW, my noise cancelling headsets are all LEMO jack, panel powered....so I haven't replaced a battery in a cockpit device other than my camera and my O2 pulse ox meter, in many years. Don't get me wrong, I think a cordless cockpit would be awesome. I just think with batteries involved, it would be a pain in the butt at best, and a safety issue at worst, so I understand why we don't see that particular innovation. Especially when headset makers are competing with eachother based on weight, where 1.5 oz differences get written up as huge by the reviewers. Throw 2 AA's in the earcup of your headsets and they're off balance. Throw 2 per side so they balance, and now they're heavy. Try that with the clarity aloft. ;) I do agree with you...I HATE cables in the cockpit. (I don't mind charging my iphone or ipad, but I hate lots of cables) So, right now today actually, I just ordered a pile of stuff that will be a future write-up that I think some people will be interested in. For someone with technical ability, it probably actually wouldn't be too hard to take your own headset and build a bluetooth link for it. It may look like crap and be a pain in the butt, but it should be do-able.

Last week I called Pilot Avionics, who make the BluLink Bluetooth headset thing. Currently, they are only powered by batteries, even if you use the LEMO jack. (this will be changing in the future) They advertise 15-45 hours of battery life, with standby time of 100 hours. When I talked to them, asking if the system can be plane-powered by the LEMO plug, they quickly inquired as to my expected use. They said that batteries generally work fine....but specified that they were talking about cellphone use. They said "well, you don't really use the cellphone a long time anyway, BUT, if you're talking about bluetooth streaming music, then you'll have MUCH lower battery life because that chews the batteries much worse." http://pilotbluelink.com/techspecs.html So keeping that in mind, if you are on a trip, and take their specs of 15-45 hours as true with 45 being phone use, and 15 being music use, it's easy to see how the batteries using bluetooth would only last 15 hours for intercom use where you're constantly listening to ATC, AWOS, co-pilot, and maybe use some music or whatever. Now, if battery life were 15 hours for your bluetooth wireless headset, how convenient is that going to be when you're doing a 5 leg trip where you're flying for a few hours a day like I generally have been doing? That's the rub. Nothing against the bluelink in particular because if you are using that, your headset audio is more pass-thru, and they're just mixing in bluetooth audio for music and phone. I'm just not interested in spending a couple hundred bucks a year for disposable batteries for all my headsets, or dealing with the inconvenience of showing up at the hangar and finding out my rechargeable batteries are dead.

Just some thinking out loud here - that's about 1.1% of the gross weight - sounds right. A larger aircraft would have a diminishing percentage of paint to gross weight I recall someone saying a fully painted airliner's weight could be about .5% of gross weight. Just guessing here. - 3 color vs 1 color I don't think matters much. I learned that a gallon of Imron white is significantly heavier than a gallon of Imron autumn sun with pearlescent effect. Color can be lighter (?) - 18lbs is a significant chunk of weight to haul around day in and day out - offhand, I'm thinking that a minimal panel weighs less. How much does a wheel and tire weigh? I've moved a 10lb flight bag around the cockpit to fix CG issues in the Maule. - I would have a hard time losing or gaining 18lbs in body weight but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything - I wish I had weighed some parts pre and post paint to figure out what is going on Bill "hoping for warmer painting weather" Watson On 12/6/2010 10:26 PM, AirMike wrote: > --> RV10-List message posted by: "AirMike" > > I cannot figure it out , but my plane gained only 18# with 3 color scheme > 1605# to 1617#.
