Hi, Dave,
One thing you need to check very carefully is visibility/readability in
certain light conditions. I have a similar instrument (Skydat GX1) in my
701. When flying into low-ish sun, the sun on me reflects off the LCD
screen and can cause it to wash out completely (and I mean COMPLETELY)
leaving me flying totally blind. The first time it happened was as I set
up on final one day when I was still on very low hours in the plane. It
was very scary to have no airspeed reference when I hadn't yet acquired
a good feel for correct approach speed/attitude. And, yes, it is
backlit.
I've tried changing the mounting angle and putting non-reflective glass
over the screen to no avail. I have just heard that the 3M company
apparently have a polarising film which may help. Failing that I am
working with a local electronics company to see if they can adapt my
unit to one of their display panels.
I should say here that the Skydat agent says he has not heard of the
problem in other installations. Also, I think the Skydat display is
layed out better than the Stratomaster. You can check it out at

Cheers,

Has anyone had any experience with the Stratomaster E2 engine monitoring
system by MGL Avionics? This instrument seems to do more than the Grand
Rapids Technologies EIS and at a much lower price. This is a Quebec
company. The E2 features can be seen at this website:

Any comments are appreciated.

The engine offset angle is intended to counteract engine 'P' effect -- a
combination of torque, and the angular movement of the air around the
airframe as well as the difference in the center of thrust of the propellor
during low speed / high power situations (i.e. thrust is offset towards the
down-travelling side of the prop at high aircraft attitudes / power settings
such as climbing).
I've always been impressed how 'neutral' my rudder is during takeoff power
and climb applications -- evidence that the engine offset works. With a 0
offset engine mount, the aircraft is simply being controlled by other
aerodynamics - rudder offset, etc. etc...

Has anyone thought of burying the rad in that fat little wing - ala
Spitfires and Messerschmidts? Theres lots of room in that little 'bay'
where the wings attach.... and with the high pressure under the wing and low
pressure above the wing, seems like it wouldn't take much of an opening to
get a good airflow... maybe a NACA duct on the lower skin?.... hmmmm
So far my incowl, nose-mounted rad works fine - but I don't like having it
attached to the engine due to eventual vibration effects on the soldered
joints etc.... If I ever start to get problems with it there, I'll look
seriously at the wing-mounted rad idea....
Keep us posted on how it works out Frank.
Thanks

Very good explanation of the forces involded in the engine / mount
arrangement. Does your Zenith need any right rudder on the take off roll?

Thanks Phil. I have a tinted canopy, and a dash that extends beyond the

I am an MGL Avionics dealer located in Toronto, to answer some of your questions,
the LCD panel has an antiglare shield built-in and has excellent contrast in
all bright light conditions. It also has backlighting which can be turned on
to help in low light conditions. I spent quite a bit of time evaluating this
product before I committed to the line. Thus far I am quite happy with the products.
I am installing a complete system in a Zenith CH250 and a Pulsar XP.
If anyone has any more questions, please feel free to ask.

This is normal. With the spiraling air flow from the prop you need the
offset or a bigger rudder tab. Single jets have Zero offset. Tilting the
engine is the usual way of countering all the forces trying to make flying
miserable from rubber band powered free flight models thru R/C models to
Real Planes. Vertical fin offset is also used in addition to down and side
thrust. It's a real problem for amphibs like the Lake Bucaneer with a pylon
mounted engine, on an aborted landing, you better pull the nose up as fast
as you push the throttle forward or you'll do the spring plowing earlier
than planned!

Sure, Its interesting how we all gravitate to the P51 idea when in fact the
spitfire used the underwing method. This is because primarily the tubes just
go straight back under the fuse which makes installation simple.
Note however the P51 exhaust (namely it's a Spitfire engine when your
bragging about the performance of WW 2 fighters!) does not go down under the
fuse as it does on the zodiac, hence the rad is not exposed to warmer air
from the engine.
I have looked at the under wing (use an evaporator thick coil) method which
would be better I think because its gets cooled by fresh air. But the
plumbing would be a challenge.
Ideas, ideas.

Go to PilotsBooks, click on CHARTS on the left and a new page will come up
allowing you to navigate between Sectionals, WACs, TACs, Facility

All else is exactly the same as before.
This is not an ownership change. Just an internal consolidation of 2

Our company now has 3 basic divisions:
Builder's Bookstore - for the custom aircraft builder
Aircraft Technical Books - for the student and professional mechanic
PilotsBooks - for aircraft owners and pilots
...plus our 2 partnered sites KitPlanes Books and AMT Books

Sure not, gravity and phisics laws are the same worldwide. That is why
all pilots try to undertand and help other pilots, thanks to the news
and the internet we all know that there is no perfect laws and
everywhere you can find honest and corrupt, liars and truth politics.
Please build your plane safe, the way you chose to build it.
Only comment, no more, I like this list because if focused only in our
planes.

Well , Now that i have calmed down.
It is with Great Pleasure i would like to anounce on wednesday 8AM july9/03
C-FDSF 601 XL made her first flyte
The freshly rebuilt 0235 Lyc. preformed flawlessly with all temps and press. in
the green.
Controls all preformed the same, wonderfull..
May have to add a touck of weight in the tail/battery area.
Full aft trim required to fly straight and level,hands off.
Left wing slightly heavy but easily corrected with the electric trim tab.
For all intents and purposes flys and handles identical to the chec. built XL i
just finished doing a check out in with Flypass c/w Rotax 912.
The XL with 912 being slightly more agile maybe with 150 lbs. less engine.
Keep up the hard work fellow's, one day they will fly.
Our tach now reads 1.7 hrs and 6 take offs and landings which we were able to walk
away from.
Praise the Lord

Well , Now that i have calmed down.
It is with Great Pleasure i would like to anounce on wednesday 8AM july9/03
C-FDSF 601 XL made her first flyte The freshly rebuilt 0235 Lyc. preformed
flawlessly with all temps and press. in the green. Controls all preformed
the same, wonderfull.. May have to add a touck of weight in the tail/battery
area. Full aft trim required to fly straight and level,hands off. Left wing
slightly heavy but easily corrected with the electric trim tab. For all
intents and purposes flys and handles identical to the chec. built XL i just
finished doing a check out in with Flypass c/w Rotax 912. The XL with 912
being slightly more agile maybe with 150 lbs. less engine. Keep up the hard
work fellow's, one day they will fly. Our tach now reads 1.7 hrs and 6 take
offs and landings which we were able to walk away from. Praise the Lord Dave

Congratulations Dave,
I hope to be right behind you in the next month or so with my XL + 912S
combo. I plan on getting some time in on Art's bird in KW too. How much
time did you spend with his before you did your first flight?

I guess I didn't make the point properly. Sun on the screen is good as
it increases contrast. The problem is with sunlight reflecting off the
pilot and cabin, onto the screen and then reflecting back to your eyes.
You see a great reflection of yourself but the display data can
completely disappear.
Cheers,
Phil M

Thanks Phil. I have a tinted canopy, and a dash that extends beyond the
panel, both of which help to keep the sun off the panel. We'll see what
happens.
Thanks...Dave
