| Subject: | CSC / Lockheed get DUATS contract |
I know, it's not RV-10 related, but we did talk about the topic
a little a few years ago.
So Lockheed and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) won the
contract to provide DUATS.
If you remember, CSC is somehow tied to the makers of FlightPrep,
who are the ones who went around suing everyone who was making
online flight planners. DTC was the "good" one, but they
are now out after 25 years of doing it. Lockheed has it's
own system in place. Users have a 60-day transition time to
switch to the new providers.
http://www.flyingmag.com/technique/flight-planning/lockheed-and-csc-offer-duats?cmpid=enews051415&spPodID=030&spMailingID=22653172&spUserID=NDc4NjE3MTE3OQS2&spJobID=561343644&spReportId=NTYxMzQzNjQ0S0
I know which one *I* will use....definitely not one provided
by the lawsuit happy corp.
It should also be noted that I believe a while back, foreflight
started working to directly interact with Lockheed Martin
for flight plan filing. If I remember right, you just have to
clear out your DUATS info and then it will use Lockheed.
At the time, they said it was better and faster anyway.
So I did that and haven't looked back.
I just thought I'd provide that food for thought as you all
go about tweaking your iPads and devices with the new
account settings. I'll have to even doublecheck what
WingX and FlyQ use, but hopefully everyone will have whatever
app updates are required so that we can file through
L.M. and can skip anything to do with CSC. Yes, when
a company acts like they did, I hold a grudge. Forever. :)

Just wondering if anyone has researched what optimal alternator setting
should be using the Odyssey 925L battery? Whether it should be different
than the old wet cell set point between 13.8 and 14.2.

| Subject: | Trutrak ADI W/GPS for sale |
I just installed my new Gimini and I am selling my ADI. It is in good
shape. Trutrak worked on it in May 2103.
Price is $450 including Two Day FedEx shipping. It will go on Ebay for
$495 next week. Ebay wants 10,-12% out of the deal.
Price for new is $1400 from Aircraft Spruce.
Thanks.
Rob

Based on how my Odyssey branded charger works, I'd guess that the answer is i
t depends.
If I rub my batteries down to 10-11.5 volts, I will see the charger hit them
with nearly 17 over a short period of time. In a matter of minutes I can b
ring a dead battery to 80% charged.
Then I see it taper off to 13.8 at the tail end of the charge after the batt
ery has already taken the bulk of the charge. Then I see the battery settle
in around 13.6-13.7.
So based on my observations of their charger, is say 13.8 is a very safe opt
ion.

I have an Odyssey brand charger for my 925. According to the documentation, it
initially charges at 14.3-14.7 volts (give or take) until the battery is charged.
Then it goes to the trickle charge mode at 13.6-13.8 volts (give or take).
It can be left in the trickle charge mode indefinitely, according to the manual.

It is that charge phase that had me thinking that the alternator regulator
might need to be set above 14.2.
