RJ:
The Dynon is completely self contained except for the angle of attack
sensor/heated pitot and the remote magnetic sensor which is optional and used only
if
you have too much magnetic interference. I thought I would probably need it
with the tube construction of the Tailwind but they indicated that I could
probably compensate it out and to try it first. Believe me its all there and
readable and seems pretty rugged for $1995. I opted for the internal battery
backup which gives you an additional 2 hours with a power loss. Everyone that
comes in the shop has to play with it and the battery has not died in three
months..yet.
On the Lightspeed Plasma III you get the small digital display screen with
the variable timing advance rheostat. It came prewired and now I have space so
I figured no big deal, but you are correct in that it could have been wired
through the EIS.
Today I will get more involved with wiring the pin connectors for the Dynon
and the EIS. Got distracted wet sanding my wings for the one man body shop
close by. They are getting a Super Canary Yellow You Better Be Able to See Me
Now Paint Job, after this summer where my buddies would not see me and scare me
by turning in to me with the plane's pretty much all white paint job when I
came up alongside them flying.

Paul, your instrument panel is very interesting. I
have a couple questions:
I find it difficult to believe the Dynon D-10 can
replace the attitude gyro, DG, VSI, airspeed,
altimeter, and T&B for under $2000. I went to the
Dynon website but could find no price.
CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE MORE CLOSELY. THE PRICE IS USA$1999.00 FOR BASE UNIT. BUILTIN
BATTERY BACKUP AND REMOTE MAGNETOMETER ADDS ABOUT $200 MORE.
http://www.dynondevelopment.com/
I am leaning toward the EFIS from Grand Rapids
Technologies as it can be built up in stages. But, the
price of the air data computer, (and external
magnetometer), alone, (necessary to replace gyros), is
$5000. How does the Dynon D-10 get it's information?
DYNON IS CONNECTED TO STATIC AND PITOT AIR LINES PLUS IT HAS MAGIC THINGS INSIDE
IT SIMILAR TO COMPASSES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO IT. NOTHING REALLY
NEW SINCE ALL THIS IS BEING BY EVERYONE ALREADY. BUT IT DISPLAYS ALL THE
INFO ON A COMPUTER SCREEN. IT SAVES PANEL SPACE AND WEIGHT. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
IN EITHER OF THOSE PLUS $$ AND EASE OF INSTALL, THEN YOU DESERVE TO PUT
SOME TIME INTO EDUCATION. THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS IT CHANGES YOUR SCAN FROM WHAT
WE HAVE BEEN USING ALL ALONG. LOTS OF THESE ARE BEING SOLD. THE OLD TIME INSTRUMENTS
COULD BE GONE ONE OF THESE DAYS IMHO.
Understand I'm not being critical, just jealous. :-0

According to Harmon Lange today, 6150 steel as specified in the TW
plans for landing gear is no longer available. When he runs out of
raw material, that will be it. A switch to 4140 steel will probably
take place. This will effect RVs as well. A number of 4140 gears
have been built (not for Tailwinds) and are performing o.k. according
to Harmon so I don't think this is a major problem. Until this gets
sorted out, there will be some short term supply problems with the
tail springs. I have four sets of mains (conventional) in stock and
Harmon has more as well. RV6A mains for the trike may also be in
short supply until Vans authorizes the switch to 4140. I will be
stocking all the various TW gear springs, once they are available.

Under stand 6150 may not be possible. Has any one looked into the cost
of titanium. It is expensive but much lighter. It is being used on
some cessna replacements under and STC. It might be a better choice all
around???

Bob, maybe Fred can tell us how much the titanium gear on the Rocket
cost. That would be a nice option for those with deep enough pockets.

DNA: not not archive
| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Virus Laden Spam Purports To Be From Matronics... |
--> Tailwind-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)
Dear Listers,
First let me say that I normally don't condone the sharing of warnings
about Internet viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. I don't want to
start a storm of discussion regarding computer viruses on the Lists, so
please just note the information below and refrain from commenting to
the List. The circumstances I describe below are disturbing enough
that I felt an explanation is necessary. That being said...
There is a new email-bourne virus running rampant on the Internet that
is cleverly disguising itself as legitimate email warning of such
things as:
"your email account is disabled because of unauthorized access"
"Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail
content) outgoing from your e-mail account"
"Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In
order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions."
"Our main mailing server will be temporary unavailable for next two
days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to
configure our free auto-forwarding service."
All of these messages include an attachment that you are instructed to
click upon to "Get more information", "clean the virus from your
system", or "check your system for infections".
These enclosures all contain a virus that will infect your system and
propagate even more copies of the original message.
The disturbing part of these messages is that they appear to be coming
from very legitimate addresses and have very legitimate, convincing
dialog. For example, I have received a number of them today that
appear to be from "support@matronics.com", "management@matronics.com",
"administration@matronics.com", and "staff@matronics.com".
The text of the messages seems believable enough, and given the forged
source address, seem even more legitimate.
Please be assured that no one at Matronics.com will be sending you
these kinds of messages. If you receive one, it is a spam/virus that
has forged headers and was sent to you from someone other than
Matronics. Delete the message and the attachment promptly. Invest in
a copy of Norton Antivirus and keep the definitions up dated on a daily
basis.
Again, I want to stress that I *DO NOT* want a big discussion of
viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. Please do not reply to this
email with any comments. You may write to me directly at
dralle@matronics.com if you wish, but do not include the List.
Since many of these appear to come from matronics.com, I wanted to
assure everyone that Matronics wasn't the real source of these messages.
Let's be careful out there and keep those virus definitions up to date!
Today alone, the Matronics spam filter and virus blocking appliance
has filtered out 11,550 spam messages and 375 viruses! That's just in
an 18 hour period!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
