(Matt Dralle) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 11:07:24 AM PST US From: "Stan Loer" Subject: RV8-List: ACK ELT Has anyone out there installed the ACK E-04 ELT and its associated antenna? This is my current first choice for the ELT and I have tentatively identified an appropriate ELT location, but the antenna is a question mark given the complications posed by the RV-8 airframe. I don't want to reopen that general subject, but limit my concerns to the E-04.8 antenna specifically. I know that it is different from the one used with the E-01, so I may be looking at a whole new can of worms.

Dear Listers, I've been flying the new 10" Dynon Skyview in the RV-6 for a few weeks now and it seems like the airspeed is reading maybe 10mph fast. The GS always reads 10mph or more slower than the True airspeed, no matter which way I fly with respect to the current wind. Looking through the configuration options on the Skyview, I'm not seeing parameters to calibrate the airspeed. If the airspeed were *slow* compared to the GS, I could envision making adjustments to the Pitot tube to get it in better alignment with slipstream. But *fast* is a head scratcher. If there's no electronic configuration parameters to adjust, what do you do? Are there Pitot line "attenuators" like for RF in coax? ;-) Matt - Matt "Red Dawg" Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 170+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...
