I'm headed out for Reno today and I'll be haunting the pits
by tomorrow. (Fair Warning) I'll look for fellow yakker's at
the Yak Demo Team pit and/or the Cannon trailer. Otherwise
I'll be cruising for Speed Secrets that don't require the
commodities I do not have: More Money. If last year's Sport
Class competitors were any indication, the individual
"little guy" won't be competitive this year. Just those with
Sponsors & Money.

Craig, so far I'm aware that Hal "Batman" Morley will be there, as will I.
Batman, of course, will be breathing rarefied air while seated in his box
unavailable to us of the lower class of race fans. Be assured that I will seek
you
out, though, in the pits on Saturday and will have my cell phone on -- not
that I'll be able to hear it very well. To engage in a little proselytizing and
to make Drew proud, I'll be sporting Red Star garb. ...Blitz

I am not sure whether you were addressing this to me or not Terry, but ....
I'll answer it anyway.
After flying with Sergei, I am confident to ATTEMPT to perform anything I
was shown with the exception of tumbles. I simply have no desire to take my
old YAK-50 to that extreme..... well, actually.... the truth is.... I don't
quite feel ready to take MY old body to that extreme!
I am quite sure I will fall out of a lot of new "what-ever's" that I
attempt. I am also totally confident that as long as I can remove the
engine power, or don't have the dreaded "WING OFF" light illuminate...
things will be fine.

Sooner or later it was to happen.....my expensive 28 Volt Gill Battery died. I
had enough warning to allow time to review the list archives to detrmine what
others are doing and ordered two 14 volt sealed batteries that I will hook up
in series.
In the CJ at this time I have a transformer that makes 14 volts off of the 28 volt
battery for operation of the COM and the Transponder. It feeds a small 14
volt buss. I would like opinions as to if it makes sense to keep this arrangement
or should I feed the 14 volt buss directly from 1/2 of the battery line
up thru a center tap and remove the transformer? Also, does anyone have some
pictures of how they modified their battery shelf (mine is where the old radio
systems set) to hold the two smaller batteries? rb

Roger;
I have two gell cell batteries wired in series in my 52. Been that way
since 2001 and their still going strong. Got em from Spruce as I recall.
The batteries were about 24 bucks each....... :)
Currently, I run a 28 to 12 volt DC converter for my 12 volt instruments
(not a transformer, which is for AC).
Years ago, I deferred to Bryan Lloyd's suggestion of not tapping off the
center of two 12V batteries in series as he had some doubts about uneven
charging of the batteries in that configuration. I should have known
better and stuck with my original intention of tapping off the center of
the two batteries. The trick with lead acid batteries is never to let
them discharge fully. Keep them near full charge and they last a very
long time. Basically, keep them near full capacity and I haven't had a
problem.
