Naumuk" ----- Original Message ----- From: "B Johnson" Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Three big SP questions All- I hope I worded my questions to EAA Technical correctly, because there doesn't seem to be any consensus among the listers. Best case scenario is the FAA really does consider a 601 to be a 601 and that's that.

I'll bet $.50 those strut mounted AOA meters that cost $600 can be made for $20. I'm not an EE but I think this is how they work. I hope some smart guy will check this out. 1. Mount a wind vane on a poteniometer, mount this on strut. 2.Run 3 small wires to cabin. 3.Build a LED Voltmeter http://www.solorb.com/elect/solarcirc/vom/ 4.Go to jameco.com for parts (LM3914N--LED Volt meter--$2.55) LEDs $.17 other parts maybe $5 5.Make a bracket to mount the 10 LEDs where you want them. 6.Calibrate(adjust voltage to light center LED with vane level.Fine tune at stall speed. Look in Aircraft Spruce for high priced AOA. thanks Hugh PS I bet somebody could make a buck if im right. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:42:37 PM PST US From: Carlos Sa Subject: Zenith-List: AirVenture video --> Zenith-List message posted by: Carlos Sa If you didn't go: http://www.flyingmag.com/article.asp?section_id=27&article_id=566 It is 46:50 long, and seems to be Microsoft addicted (it did not work with Firefox).

Is this going to limit my choices of gauges? Or should I just have a removable plate for now and choose the sender later? Suggestions, recommendations?
