    Subject: Re: First Flight of VH-JNL
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: John Livsey <jlivsey@bigpond.com> All, Thanks for all the kind words about the first flight of my A/C. I have had some questions about the "Windscreen Wiper Switches" in one of the pictures. Here is my answer. About the switches, I didn't think many people would recognise them as windscreen washer switches, I was wrong. If your look at this circuit http://www.users.bigpond.com/jlivsey/wiring/fuel1a4.pdf you will see the switches on the right hand side of the circuit. The switch action is centre normally off, up it switches on (auto) and down is a momentary action, (you have to hold it in), for manual. (Just like in a car). In the auto position it pumps from the wing tank/s automatically to fill the main tank, the pumps start at about 30 litres and stop at when it reaches 36 litres in the main tank. If the auto circuit fails for any reason or you just want to transfer some fuel you just hold the switches down. Also I fitted a separate float switch in the main tank so if everything fails, fuel gauge etc then the light comes on at around 18 litres, about 45 minutes. Regards John.

I too am curious, what are the two switches for that are labeled left and right and have windshield wiper icons on them? Also would like to know what you used for the nice looking labels on clear material? Smoooooth landing......... Fred

    Subject: No legal night/IFR with Rotax or Jabiru...
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Pete Krotje" <pkrotje@athenet.net> This email below is factually incorrect regarding flying Jabiru engines at night. The only application of JAR22H engine certification in the USA is for Primary Category Aircraft under 750 kg. Primary category aircraft under 750 kg can use a JAR22H engine if limited to day VFR. JAR22H does not come into play in the LSA area. Engines are compliant to ASTM F2339. Jabiru engines used in experimental amateur built aircraft can be flown in any condition that the aircraft operating limitations allow, night usually being one of them. Under a LSA certificate there is no prohibition on the part of Jabiru against night operation. There is no specific prohibition in the FAR's prohibiting night flight in S-LSA aircraft. The implied restriction is in the certificate in that it is based on ASTM F2245-04. It is stated in the scope of that standard that it applies to LSA aircraft operated day VFR. To be clear - it is not the Jabiru engine that limits an aircraft to day VFR. Pete -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Allen Ricks Subject: Zenith-List: No legal night/IFR with Rotax or Jabiru... --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Allen Ricks" --> <allenricks@verizon.net> Saw this article in the EAA hotline today. Interesting that IFR and night VFR is NOT legal in an aircraft equiped with any Jabiru engine, or any non-certified Rotax engine. 10/13/05 - SPECIAL LSA AND NIGHT/IFR FLYING Some confusion exists in the aviation marketplace regarding the use of special light-sport aircraft (S-LSA) for flying at night and/or under instrument flight rules (IFR). The ASTM consensus standards that govern the manufacture and production of S-LSA specifically address day/visual flight rules (VFR) operations only. First, sport pilots, or those exercising sport pilot privileges, are restricted from flying at night or in IFR conditions, so they may not operate an S-LSA, or any aircraft, at those times. Other properly rated pilots may fly an S-LSA in those conditions if allowed per the aircraft's operating limitations and if it is equipped per FAR 91.205. Additionally, FAR 91.327(d) requires all S-LSA to be operated in accordance with the aircraft's operating instructions. An aircraft's operating instructions are different from operating limitations; operating instructions are issued by manufacturers-engine, airframe, and accessory-while operating limitations are issued by the FAA. Many S-LSA are equipped with Rotax engines. Rotax's operating instructions prohibit the use of a Rotax engine at night or in IFR conditions unless it is the FAA type-certificated engine; that is, certificated to FAR Part 33. Rotax's non-certificated engines are indicated by the letters "UL" after the engine series number; for example, 912UL, 912ULS, and 914UL. Additionally, S-LSA airframe and engine manufacturers may place restrictions against the use of their aircraft and/or engines for night/IFR operations. For example, other S-LSA are powered by Jabiru engines; these engines are certificated to JAR-22H and are limited to day/VFR operation. Bottom line: some S-LSA can be equipped for night and IFR operation; be sure to tell the manufacturer/dealer if your intent is to operate the aircraft under those conditions...and make sure you have the proper ratings.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Ken Lilja <planes_by_ken@bellsouth.net> Hi all, This is my first post to the list. I pick up my XL kit Thursday. Pipe threads are supposed to fit tight. The weld flange needs to opened up with a pipe tap. you need 4+ thread engagement. Not cracking the flange is base on proper installation. I have seen many cracks caused by over-tightened pipe thread fittings Ken Lilja A&P Instructor, Aviation Institute of Maintenance.

    Subject: T-Tape ...
    From: "Bima, Martin" <mbima@hydro.mb.ca>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Bima, Martin" <mbima@hydro.mb.ca> I use Teflon tape all of the time. On cars, boats, air, water, fuel, drains, etc. Millions of people use t-tape in hundreds of applications. So why isn't it OK for a homebuilt airplane? Because when Jim-Bob's truck breaks down on farm road A12, it doesn't make the front page of the local paper. And Jim-Bob gets Phil to come out and help him tow the truck back to the garage where they spend the next day trouble shooting the fuel system. However, if Jim-Bob forced-landed his 601 on farm A12, you can bet that CNN will be the first ones out there begging for a post crash fire (preferably in the early morning to get that "magic-hour" lighting). There have been several incidents of loss of power due to crap in the fuel lines - and some of that crap has been Teflon shreddings. To prove it to yourself, loosen any t-tape connection and watch the shards. Loosening dope connections will reveal a compressed, but intact dope seal. Pipe dope does not shred, and will keep you off the evening news. BUILD SAFE - FLY SAFE Martin 701

Don't seem to have streached appreciably anyway. Frank HDS 380 hours -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Larry McFarland Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Range of Bungee replacement questions --> Zenith-List message posted by: Larry McFarland --> <larrymc@qconline.com> Perry, I purchased 5 spare 1080HD bungees with the thought that they will last longer, IF as you say, they can be installed. I'd think that a carnuba wax or silicone paste wax would make any rubbing area take a seat before shreading delicate bungee wrap. On re-assembly of the gear boxes, I think a strip with nut plates, or better, a 3/16" thick metal strip drilled, tapped and threaded to accept the small bolts will be my choice for the reinstall. I turned squares of 5/8" thick Delrin bearing material on the top and the bottom of the strut supports, 4 bolts each and no bearings on the tube side slides. Only have 76 hours on the plane, so there'd be no detectible wear at this point. From a noise or wear standpoint, the side slides don't seem to exist, because there aren't any real high excentric loads. see link images of installed bearings. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/bottom-side-of-top-skin-wit. gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/upbrg.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/stratstops.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/gear-bearings-top-and-botto. gif The caps stick above the wing, and if that distance has increased by 3/8" or more, I'd consider changing them. I'd thought that with 5 bungees, you'd get a minimum of 400 hours on these and more with the HD type. My bird weighs in at 730 empty and 1300 gross, but I don't believe they'd wear or fatigue quite that rapidly, unless you're operating out of a bumpy field. Is there some literal guidance for wear or fatigue on these? I've only seen bungees that looked as old as the biplanes they were on.

Why? You wrap the tape counter-clockwise for a right-hand thread. Any excess tape gets pushed away from, rather than into the fuel line, and it improves the seal.

I just want to learn something from your experience. I have seen before-landing checklists that include 'testing' the brake pedals for resistance to ensure they are working... Or I've always assumed that was the reason. I've just realized that I don't currently include this item in my current version of the before-landing checklist. Do you think the problem have shown up by checking for brake pedal resistance/pressure before landing? I would appreciate your insight because obviously I'm thinking that this would be a good item to add to my own checklist. Thanks, -- Grant Corriveau C-GHTF / HDS / CAM100

    Subject: Re: T-Tape ...
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Larry" <lrm01@centurytel.net> You've just been lucky. Teflon tape is a wonderful thing, but has it limitations. Put it in your plumbing drawing to be use with PVC pipe or throw it away. Never use it with anything that has an orifice/jet somewhere in line. It's ok the first time as long as it doesn't go past the end of the threads. However, it you undo it for any reason you WILL have little pieces left in the threads that Will get into you system when you reinstall the part. Why do you insist on using something on your aircraft that has been proven to cause problems? Especially, when there are better solutions out there. Taking every possible precaution to keep your fuel system clean is probably the best thing you can do for yourself and your passengers. If a DAR/FAA inspector sees you using T-tape on fuel lines, he will gig you. If he doesn't, he just missed it or isn't worth a. Here's what you could or should use, Loctite 592 sealant with Teflon.

    Subject: Fuel system parts / questions
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: doug kandle <d_kandle@velocitus.net> I remember when a common bumper sticker was "Question Authority". This is certainly still good advice when it comes to our government, but probably not such a good thing on technical issues. Often the use of certain materials or procedures seems perfectly reasonable, even through on careful analysis they are not. I remember seeing something on this forum where a person had "fixed" a creeping throttle control by putting a weaker spring on the carburetor. Turned out to be a bad solution (engine would not always attain full power). I looked around my house for a reference to an application of Teflon tape in an aircraft fuel system and could fine none. Continental SIL99-2 lists all of the authorized sealants and no Teflon tape. The service manual for my Cessna 206 explicitly warns that only one of a small set of sealants be used anywhere in the fuel system (no Teflon tape in the list). And from the fuel pump to the engine, to use only "fuel-soluble lubricant, such as engine oil". Unfortunately AC 43.13-1B (Par 8-38-f) probably adds more confusion than illumination when it states "Do not use Teflon tape on any fuel line" (clear enough, but it then goes on to say why) "to avoid getting the tape between the flare and fitting". I for one will stick with the accepted standards (AC's, manufacturers manuals, and service bulletins) without question. I believe that they provide the best and most consistent advice on the subjects that they cover.

    Subject: Re: T-Tape ...
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "JOHN STARN" <jhstarn@verizon.net> Just my .02 cents worth. Been a C-36 (California Plumbing Contractor Code) for 30 years (no typo thirty years). Teflon tape is great stuff for plugging large gaps in threaded connections, like those found on PVC, CPVC and other plastic fittings. Things like sprinkler pipe or worn out DWV (Drain Waste & Vent) fitting threads like those 1 1/2" stub outs under your kitchen sink. Cast iron, DWV copper or ABS where there is little pressure & loose fitting threads. NOT fuel lines on an airplane. All you want to do is fill very small imperfections AND lubricate the threads during assembly. Use fuel lube...BUT only on the male end & a very little goes a LOOONG way. If shards of Teflon tape will plug up the aerator on you kitchen faucet think what it will cause to happen in a carburetor jet. Your faucet will continue to work because there are dozens of holes, there is ONE hole in a jet. Plug it up & you have a glider. I also have a dozen rolls in my garage, BUT none in my hanger. P.S. ON THE MALE THREADS ONLY.

    Subject: Bungee Deterioration: was Range of Bungee replacement questions
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Dr. Perry Morrison" <perrymorrison@yahoo.com> From the archives and reponses to my query it seems people get pretty good lifetimes from their bungees. I live in a highly variable climate (nth australia) with extreme temps and humidity for half the year and very low humidity the rest. I noticed with my bungees that once the wrap had frayed (mechanical, mould or whatever) it didn't take long for them to deteriorate. They had that feel of old powdery dying rubber. reassuring! But other climates seem to get better service life.

I'd think that a carnuba wax or silicone paste wax would make any rubbing area take a seat before shreading delicate bungee wrap. On re-assembly of the gear boxes, I think a strip with nut plates, or better, a 3/16" thick metal strip drilled, tapped and threaded to accept the small bolts will be my choice for the reinstall. I turned squares of 5/8" thick Delrin bearing material on the top and the bottom of the strut supports, 4 bolts each and no bearings on the tube side slides. Only have 76 hours on the plane, so there'd be no detectible wear at this point. From a noise or wear standpoint, the side slides don't seem to exist, because there aren't any real high excentric loads. see link images of installed bearings. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/bottom-side-of-top-skin-wit. gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/upbrg.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/stratstops.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/gear-bearings-top-and-botto. gif The caps stick above the wing, and if that distance has increased by 3/8" or more, I'd consider changing them. I'd thought that with 5 bungees, you'd get a minimum of 400 hours on these and more with the HD type. My bird weighs in at 730 empty and 1300 gross, but I don't believe they'd wear or fatigue quite that rapidly, unless you're operating out of a bumpy field. Is there some literal guidance for wear or fatigue on these? I've only seen bungees that looked as old as the biplanes they were on.

    Subject: Re: N414PZ Landing incident
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Gbrac80@aol.com Applying the brakes before landing has at least two purposes: 1) On some aircraft, parking brakes are released by the application of brake pedal pressure. Therefore, applying brake pedal pressure prior to landing should release the parking brakes if they had been applied during flight. (Perhaps during a demonstration of the application of parking brakes to a passenger). This might help extend the life of the tires and perhaps also extend the life of pilot, passenger(s) or ground personnel. 2) Applying brake pedal pressure might elevate the level of confidence that the brakes are ready to work upon landing. Rgds, Mike.

    Subject: Teflon Tape Final Word
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "William J. Naumuk" <billn@velocity.net> All- The reason you haven't heard anything from me since yesterday is because I just got home from a 14-1/2 hr day and couldn't respond. After the first round of "Try this stuff instead", I would have said, "OK". If I wasn't interested in hearing about different ways to do things, I wouldn't bother with the list. Just like the Sharpie remover- I keep lighter fluid and mineral spirits (Paint thinner) around for removing part stickers. I never figured plain old rubbing alcohol would kick major butt for getting Sharpie marks off. (I'm sure the other suggestions work, too, I just happened to have a bottle of rubbing alcohol around). I couldn't understand why all the fuss about teflon tape. You put it on correctly the first time and you forget about it. Why was everyone so concerned about fragments being torn off when a joint was R+R'd? Then it hit me. You people installed leading edge wing tanks. You probably disconnect the joints at least twice a year, at the start of flying season when you put the plane together, and at the end when you put it into storage. I was going to stick with just the 18 gal header tank, good for 2-1/2 to 3 hrs plus VFR reserves (Except for an O-235), which is the extent of my butt endurance. If I need more, I'll retrofit the wing locker option. Put it together correctly once, and, hopefully, forget about it. Bill do not archive

It's kind of sticky and slimy at the same time, but does an excellent job of making rubber pliable for long periods of time. Seems like with the woven cover on the bungees, it would be weird at best.

Just trying to save you (and others who read this list) from having an "the engine just quit" moment. Plumbed the wing tanks lines 5 years ago. Have not taken them apart except for the in-line filter replacement. BUT since I would not use tape I don't have to think about Teflon shards.
