    Subject: Rotax Tachometer Problems
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "John Birgiolas" <johnbirgiolas@hotmail.com> I have just flown off the test hours on 701 GDDZ, and all went well. The only problem I am having is with my Aviasport tach which wonders above 5000 RPM when hot. I have heard of this problem and researched the archives for a more suitable 2.25 inch tach. Any suggestions on a new brand. I am all but fiddled out. For your info, cruise is 95mph at 5000 rpm which is comfortable. 98 at 5200, 80 at 4500, 85 at 4850. I am using the woodcomp 68" prop set at 12.5 degrees and attribute the good performance to the prop and 912S which is running flawlessly. All speeds gps verified. A great machine. John Birgiolas

    Subject: re: rotax 912 tach problem
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Zed Smith <zsmith3rd@earthlink.net> An acquaintance of a friend of another fellow (this is at least 14th-hand info) told me of using a Fluke (or other brand) digital voltmeter, which has a "counter" function, to monitor the tach sender output. Attaching the meter/counter leads across the sender wires at the back of the indicator on the panel would then count the frequency of the signal sent by the sender, thereby showing you if the sender output is tracking with throttle position and how it compares with your panel-mounted indicator. You might need to interpolate readings, but "tracking" is the object anyway. Possibly another person with a hand-held digital tach might stand out front and check prop rpm during a ground run-up after things are up to operating temperature. This really sounds a lot like a non-linear response in your indicator at the high end. do not archive Zed/701/R912/90% etc

    06/30/2005 02:40:46 PM --> Zenith-List message posted by: charles.long@gm.com Looked through the Jab manual and can't seem to find the recommended oil filter P/N. I've also looked through the email strings and found two potential candidates: Baldwin B33 Fram 4967 Can anyone comment on the suitability of these two or others? Thanks Chuck Long N601LE, 11 TT

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Dave VanLanen" <davevanlanen@sbcglobal.net> Bill, Must be the same book - it has the same author. The "For Mechanics and Technicians" part of the title is in smaller print.

Neither of these titles exactly match my handbooks. I have the "Standard Aircraft Handbook" by Larry Reithmaier, and use it quite a bit.
