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.

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.

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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=377947#377947 ________________________________ Message 19 ____________________________________ Time: 05:51:48 PM PST US From: "Thane States" Subject: Re: RV10-List: broken down in Eugene Oregon 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.
