I used the flush mounting plate and rivetted it onto the panel (the grounding connection is good and I don't plan on removing the mounting plate, although it'd just be a case of drilling the rivets out if I do). Still to see whether I've managed to line up the angles of the EFIS with the remote compass module accurately though....

Guess it didn't make it to my e-mail and I haven't gotten use to checking this forum yet. Anyway a grease whip is the little hose on the end of a grease gun. It is 1/4 NPF on both ends. They can be purchased at almost any auto parts. I got mine at NAPA. Twelve inch is the most common. -------- 701 with a Harley, www.skyhawg.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=7571#7571 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:50:06 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Dynon Help please From: "lgingell" --> Zenith-List message posted by: "lgingell" Here's some of mine.

Some of you had developed a safety stop, so that the nose gear won't go through the upper skin. One of you designed a safety stop, that also serves to connect a tow bar. I'm very interested in the design, since I'm installing wheel pants, thus my old tow bar design wouldn't work anymore.

Does anybody know a (free) software that allows to draw a simple elecitrical wiring diagram? Would be great to plan the wiring diagram for my XL (and will be part of the mandatory POH, I have to write for the plane).

This is a very easy program to use. I liked it so much that I may go out and get the complete package which I think is the object behind making this version available.

You can draw your own custom components and save them for use in other drawings. You will want to use the expressSCH software to draw the schematics. The expressPCB is for setting up electronic boards. It worked for me!

The T-bar handle is thin 4130, 5/8-inch o.d. with an aluminum tube riveted between it and a tube welded to a tapered flat with a 2-inch slot and side pieces also slotted for the AN3 screws. The ring, 3/8-inch thick, 2-inch i.d. and 3-inch o.d. was milled, drilled and tapped to accept the connecting AN3 bolts front and rear. The ring is cut in two after turning and machining is complete.

I'll be riveting the skin to my rudder skeleton tomorrow. I had absolutely no sheet metal experience when I started this project. Thanks to the wealth of information on this list and the patience of Scott Laughlin and Kevin Bonds, who have answered my numerous email questions, I'm off to a good start. Actually, I'm pretty amazed at how well its turned out, so far. Thanks to all. David Clay Temple, Texas
