For those who have asked and were in the air, here is a link to Alex=B9s CJ
routine from OSH.
I hope to add some interesting footage from a camera he had in his rear
cockpit during the routine but wanted to get this up.

Hey out there "guys". It's been awhile since I've posted anything on
the list, but I always enjoy keeping track of what's going on with you
all and the wisdom shared. I've been having lots of fun over the last
year in the local area learning a little basic acro VFR and generally
getting to know my mountainous local flying and all of the airspace
restrictions around SLC. My CJ panel is about as basic as it gets with
a Chinese Artificial Horizon and a whiskey compass and hand held
Lowrance 1000 airmap for nav. No VOR, ILS or even an ADF. Mountains
out here generally top 12 -14,000 feet. I'm seriously considering an
expensive but all-in-one Enigma System glass cockpit with GPS, EFIS,
flight instruments, terrain displays, etc. for experimental aircraft
(non-certified). It's made by an Austrailian company called "Air
Pacific Light Flying". Any input from the troops on this will be
appreciated. I want this because I'm considering extended cross
country flights now to some Red Strar fly-in destinations and being a
paranoid ex-airline pilot, I want my back-ups. Also, I don't want to
accidentally find myself IFR some dark and stormy night and have my
eyeballs cage while trying to decide what's really happening with the
Chinese ADI versus what my stressed out brain is trying to see from 30
plus years of flying IFR with the American versions.
Thanks,
P.S. Despite any differences of opinion we're bound to have, I don't
doubt that anyone on this list would be willing to pull a brother (or
sister) out of a burning plane at great risk to themselves if the
situation called for it. These "Yaks" bring some pretty neat (if
opinionated) people together, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Val,
Look at the Dynon system while you are at it. I think you will find it less
than the Enigma and it will give you just as much capability. The Aspen
system is another one to consider. It is TSO'd so you are going to pay about
$6000 for it. Go to www.dynon.com to look at what they offer. You will be
amazed.
I have flown my Dynon IFR on some approaches at my local drome. It was fine
with all the information I needed infront of my eyeballs.

Guys and Gals,
This list, and the RPA, and our flying together, work because we are all
committed to our common enjoyment of our airplanes, our flying and our being
together. Like a smooth engine it runs because it is lubricated by our mutual
courtesy of voluntarily - and deliberately - keeping the acidic and corrosive
aspects of life out of the conversation.
In part this means to me that:
We choose not to call each other names that are meant to diminish or hurt.
We choose not to deride each other for our choice of airplane, where we
live, how we fly or what oil - or additives - we use or don't use.
We choose to respect each other's ancestry and country.
And, we choose not to add the acid of religious beliefs or political views
into the conversation.
Vote for and contribute to whomever you wish; Believe in and pray to
whatever or whomever you wish; Love and/or have sex with whomever or whatever
you
wish and will have you; Be a carnivore, a vegan or a synthetic food eater;
Believe that the world is flat, round or a grain of sand on a turtle's back;
Believe that the government and wall street are here to help you - or not;
Believe that Elvis is dead or alive.
Believe and do what you want, but do it somewhere else! Because - if you
do it here - know clearly and perfectly well that you are taking a cheap,
sneak shot intended to push other people's buttons when they are playing nice
with each other and not out looking for a fight. In my view it is the person
taking the cheap shot that should be roundly condemned by everyone else on the
list who thinks that this community has value.
One of the reasons we get together is because nobody knows the whole story.
With planes, engines and flying we can each contribute a bit to an open
conversation. That's rare these days. I for one want to keep it running.

Isn't oil thinning activated by a switch? Why not cut the wires or wire the switch
in the off position.

Rather than unzipping a ton of stuff, why don't you just run a new wire to bypass
the old, non-working one? Other than that, you can ohm out connectors to find
where the offending connection is. The CJ maint documents with wiring diagrams
should help.

Why not remove the entire system including wiring, cap off the fuel inlet at
the pump "T" fitting and rivet or bolt a cover plate over the firewall hole.
This leaves you an extra switch position, eliminates the possibility of a
fuel leak in the solenoid valve and leaves only one fuel pressure hose to
inspect or replace at annual.

Hi Craig,
Thanks, I was actually thinking the same as you regarding running new wiring. probably
will go that route. One of my problems is I don't think I have the best
CJ books. I'm guessing Doug has the best stuff. The wiring diagrams I'm working
off of are pretty basic.

anyone actually done this mod?
