Dear Lister,
Please read over the Zenith-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Zenith-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the

******************************************************************************
Zenith-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Zenith-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Zenith-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Zenith-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Zenith-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

| Subject: | Stratus EA-81 Questions |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Andrew SanClemente <ansancle@townisp.com>
Hi,
some basic questions for those of you with the stratus ea-81. Ive
searched the archives and not found any answers so usual apology if
this is old ground (also tried calling Stratus three times this week
- no answer).
1. Where do you get the reading for the tachometer? I didn't see
anything obvious.
2. Is there a threaded hole for CHT sensor (didn't see any) or do you
need to use a gasket type under a spark plug?
Thanks
Andrew

I have an EA-81, not Stratus.
The CHT sensors from the EIS are installed under the
spark plugs. But many people claim it is useless to
measure CHT with a water cooled engine. Having the
EIS, I connected the sensors anyway.
For the tach, I attached the wire to the negative lead
of the coil and as per the EIS instruction, I
installed a resistance between the EIS and that
connection. Having two ignitions, I purchased a
MSD-8911 tach splitter that will be installed next
week (I removed the relay I was using).

Mykal is reached better late in the evening, 9:00 to 10:00 PM CST because he
works
at another place of employment where contact is not possible.
I'm learning that nothing is obvious in electrical stuff,
The tachometer depends upon what type you use. I purchased a Mitchell VDO
type that
uses a signal from a wire wrapped around one spark plug lead. Mine is still
finicky after it reaches
2000 rpm, but with adjustments it'll be o.k. I also have an EIS which reads
RPM, but I feel one
must have a Tach Gage present that doesn't need the press of a button to see
it.
Cylinder head temps can be had by using a screw-in temp plug into the
dead-end
threaded holes in the head or a spark-plug type. I used the spark plug
type, but am told they don't
have a good mortality rate due to being attached and detached to check plugs
etc.
Take care Andrew,
Larry McFarland - 601HDS

1) negative lead of coil
2) right rear cylinder has a threaded hole in the back, mine came with a VDO
automotive RTD sensor in place that could be used with the oil temp guage.

Hi List,
Whereas not as good as flying after 5 years of weekend warrior work, y airplane
moved under her own power for the first time today. I could net believe how
giddy I felt taxiing around the airport. A couple of more months and She'll be
ready to fly.
Amazing how much different the engine sounds with the prop on.
For you Stratus guys out there, I know it can be subjective, but is there any consensus
on a pitch for the prop? At least an "this is a good number to start
with." I pitched mine to 14 degrees and she moved along just fine.
Anyway, it was a great day...
Steve (almost done) Freeman

It seems were several of us getting great days!
I attached my aircraft at the rear fuse tie-down ring.
And push to full throttle. Yesterday, I got 4600 rpm
with 13 degrees of pitch. Oil is mineral single
viscosity (30) for engine break in.
My friend (mentor) would like to see 4700 or 4800 rpm
to use more of the engine power on takeoff. We'll see
what we get when we change oil and tune exhaust.

Your still using the distributor and coil so connect the lead to the
neg.side of coil if you are using that type of tach.
Gary's right pick up your chts on the back of the head 10mmx125.

Something I did not know prior to using this type: install the sensor (basically
a big ring tongue) between the plug and the washer. In other words, remove
the plug's sealing washer, put on the sensor ring, put washer back on.
Sensor rings are rather soft alloy and might not seal well; a burn through would
be remotely possible. The above method has the sensor supported nicely.

I've just finished building a CH601HDS and I'm looking for someone in the area
that I could fly with in an HD, HDS or XL in preparation for first flight in my
airplane. Would be glad to pay gas money just for a little right seat experience.
