Any suggestions for hobbs meter hookup in a 701/912s installation. I want to avoid
the low oil pressure switch as advocated by aeroelectric. Some are using
the alternator to masterswitch. Is this a good idea?

John,
I struggled with this question for a while... also wanting to avoid the
complexities/expense of a low oil switch...and wanted to avoid the
experience of leaving a switch on accidently and running up hours with the
engine off.... I ended up placing the Hobbs in the alternator switch circuit
so that if the engine is not running, the red light comes on (alternator) so
as to notify me that the Hobbs is still running. A good compromise, IMO. I
can email a diagram if anybody needs it.

Hi John
For my 601/912S installation, I used an air pressure
switch, connected into the pitot for the ASI. The switch
I used came from the UK and operates at approx.
30mph. I suggest you check on the legality of doing
this in your country too...(airframe hours Vs engine
run hours)
... I can look up further info and send images if this
is of interest.
Cheers

To List, et al:
I sent this note to John earlier.
I purchased a ARM-127 from my Honda dealer for my outboard to track
hours. Nifty gadget that weighs nothing and uses a small sensor
strapped to a spark plug wire. Shows total hours or rpm. If there's
spark it adds time, no spark - no time.

Fred,
I paid $55.00 from the Honda Dealer a year ago.
Please note, the sensor wire is not "field adjustable" but company makes
them in lengths from 12" to 240" (that should cover your needs!) so
mounting anywhere should not be a problem.

Does anyone have plans for the 601XL aileron trim tab?
Can't find it anywhere in my set or on the Zenith builder support site,
but I have found pictures of it.

The Tiny tach (see aircraft spruce) uses the same spark plug wire rap
method. It shows RPM (which indicates wrong on my 912S installation) and
total hours. Unfortunately does not show fractions of hours which
renders the hour meter function almost useless for me.

Speaking of 912 tach wiring, I'm a little confused. The 2-strokes only have
one grey wire to connect. However, the 912S has two tach wires wired into
its connector. I'm using the Stratomaster EMS 2 engine information system.
This EIS only has one tach input for one tach wire. Am I to construe that
the other wire is a ground? If a ground, which conductor is the ground? Why
don't the Rotax 2-strokes have a ground wire in their tach wiring?
Thanks.....Dave

Thanks Al, sounds like good advice. I'll get with the EAA flight
advisors in the next week or two and see what they have to say. I might
even get one of the local test-pilot guys to take her up for first
flight. If I don't get to fly it 'till February, that'll be alright.
I'm just happy to have the plane all assembled and sitting in the
hangar. :) http://www.lightflyers.com/newhome.jpg

Check out tiny tach -- Put one on a friends plane and it works like a
charm - Same hookup as the Honda version - only $37 and it's resetable when
you replace the motor or overhaul by removing the face and shorting two
terminals underneath. Works well. Dave

Frank -
Have had that problem before - Reduce the number of wraps on the plug
wire to 2 or 3 max in the same spot. Should cure it.
