Hi Guys
About a year ago someone published a photo of a really neat way to mount
a Ray Allen POS-12 positioner for the flaps. Unfortunately when my
Yahoo email account was hijacked, I lost that photo. A search of the
archives only turned up a discussion, no photo. Anyone have that photo
handy?
Thx, Rick

This is what I did. I riveted a tab on the flap mechanism and mounted the
switch on the bulkhead behind the flap weldments (see photos).

It's a lovely installation so I copied it too. Just beware that if you
squeeze the two rivets holding the sensor to the aluminum plate as much
as "normal" you will split the sensor flanges, so go easy. Using screws
and nuts is probably more clever.

is the oil pressure? what is the oil temperature? I see as high as
110psi on take off with my oil at 100f, lasts about 2-3 minutes until
the oil is warmed up (aka 165 or above) than the pressure goes into the
normal 89-92 psi range. 115psi and below is normal for the first 5
minutes (start-up taxiing and takeoff) per Lycoming.. what are you

My initial readings are as high as 95-97 psi for about 5 minutes .It doesn'
t necessarily change proportionally with temp .In climb my temps will rise
to low 200's on a warm day but settle to about 190 in typical cruise.Oil pr
essure has dropped to 85 psi range after approximately 5 minutes, i incorre
ctly assumed that was when the vernitherm opened.Did I answer your question

What do you have as redline?? From the operators manual:
Sounds like your oil pressure is normal, unless it is fluctuating wildly.
Not the max for startup and warmup.

I agree! Nothing wrong with those temps or pressure. Sounds quite normal
actually.
concerning the temps-
Oil Temperature: The maximum permissible oil temperature is 245=B0F
(118=B0C). For maximum engine life,
desired oil temperature should be maintained between 165=B0F (73.8=B0C)
and 200=B0F (93.3=B0C) in level flight
cruise conditions.

the owners manual from the Cherokee shows 99 as red line-but the concern is
the progressive gradual increase in oil pressure during flight it will rea
ch 99 which is the max the gauge will read.This is a significant change fro
m the previous 350 hours.It fluctuates 3-4 pounds as it gradualy increase.

I used essentially the same setup. Nice part is that you can position the Adel
clamp (by choosing how high on the aft spar the hinge is) so that the first 3
degrees of travel translate into as much sensor motion as possible (e.g., sensor
arm is perpendicular to the clamp); near full flaps there is less sensor motion
per degree of rotation of the torque tube. I had concerns about seeing the
difference between reflex (-3) and trail (0) but with this set up it works just
fine.

I would try to check all the connections from your sender all the way
back to the EIS. It turned out I had a failed "but" connector under my
panel. Maybe in flight it vibrates, then as the resistance changes, it
drives to the max indication of 99 PSI. Worth a try, eliminate the
simple stuff first, cheap stuff. Try putting a continuity tester on it
and have someone wiggle the wire, and see if you have any problems. Good
luck. It took my 3 weeks to figure mine out, I just didnt want to think
it could be so simple as a bad connection.

the owners manual from the Cherokee shows 99 as red line-but the
concern is the progressive gradual increase in oil pressure during
flight it will reach 99 which is the max the gauge will read.This is a
significant change from the previous 350 hours.It fluctuates 3-4 pounds
as it gradualy increase.

Hmm, one email stripped the image, one didn't. Normal redline should
be 95, 115 during start and warmup, and minimum 55, except 25 for
idling.

What do you have as redline?? From the operators manual:
Sounds like your oil pressure is normal, unless it is fluctuating

Consider that the only thing high oil pressure will hurt is seals,
possibility of leaks. Cessna in fact runs around 110 psi in their IO-360
engines in 172s these days, with nothing different about the engine
other than the adjustment of oil pressure relief.

Bob, I hadn't thought that far ahead, but I understand what you're saying.
Thx for pointing that out. I will be sure to position the hinge
accordingly.
