Dear SockPuppet61,
The entire BMW R 1200 Boxer series, all produce over 100hp.
That includes the GS, RT, and ST models.
The R 1200 S model produces 122hp!
These numbers are from the factory for the stock motorcycles.
Of course, these engines are all fuel injected, dual ignition and the 1200
series motors have a second crank with counter weights to balance the drive
shaft.
The 1200 GS introduced in 2004, is the number one selling BMW bike and over
100,000 GS have been sold.
BMW has made a name for itself in the famous Paris-Dakar motocycle race,
which is one of the most gruelling and dangerous sporting events in the world,
on both men and machines.
i am not flying yet, but others have. Take Off BMW says they have produced
250 powerplants with the BMW, mostly on Trikes, but the biggest problem is
the cost!!!
Specially, with the dropping value of the dollar, all European exports to
the USA are going to get very expensive for dollar holders.
Which means the Rotax products are all going higher! Pardon the pun!!

I was asking about any rudder failures because there are only eight A

I would think that an adhesive ( structural ) like J B Weld would be a
good addition and for peace for my mind....

George M, HKM,
Thanks for the links and other info.
The BMW is particularly interesting for smaller aircraft in particular because
of its weight / power.
I believe it's likely that BMWs can handle more g-load (at least as much as some
smaller aircraft airframes) than a auto motor. Events like Paris-Dakar jam substantial
g-load on the motors.
I suspected that the BMW might make a good conversion but hadn't heard of anyone
doing it until now. Interesting that there are some 250 conversions, many of
them flying.

| Subject: | Adjusting landing lights (XL) |
I'm wrapping up the install of the factory landing light kit just outboard of the
last rib as shown in the drawings. I have had to mess around a lot with the
lens to get it to slide in and out and am hoping to save myself some trouble
in the future.
Would those of you who installed the lights and are using them be kind enough to
share in general terms how you ended up angling the lights so that I might pre-adjust
them somewhat? I assume the inboard is for taxi and the outboard is
aimed more for landing. Starting with the bulbs square with the backing plate,
what did you have to do?

There are companies that can recover all your information. Don't know

I've been through all three of the brands you mention, too. I don't
think it's so much a matter of the quality of the hard drive, but the
potency of the virus you picked up. I had a Maxtor primary with a WD backup
and both got totalled a couple of years back by the Microsoft Virus. It
attacked the lowest levels of your OS.
FWIW, I'm particular to Maxtor, not so much for the hardware but the Max
Blast software.

| Subject: | Flew an AMD 601XL yesterday |
Actually.. I've been flying an AMD 601XL for exactly a year. On Tuesday I
flew it back from its annual in Georgia to Marathon in the Florida Keys. It
was about 5 hours in the air with one stop at Lakeland, FL for the old man.
As far as the indicated airspeed, in general flying I often see indicated at
110-115 knots and I often see 100 knots. Tuesday was a 100 knot day... at
8500 feet with the ground temp at 92 and the density altitude in the
stratosphere someplace. I had to be that high to scrape over the tops...
and at one point Ft. Myers approach said "uh, three alpha mike .. barometer
2992." That was the controller's subtle way of asking me if I knew what
altitude I was at. The Dynon reported about 9100'. Some cloud tops were
higher. The little prop was turning and the fuel was burning, but the
airspeed was quivering at 99 knots. I held the 0-200 to 2550 RPM, although
I'm sure it would have been safe closer to the red line. The EGTs and CHTs
were dandy. I just told him that I was clearing clouds and he said,
"Maintain VFR". That's the right answer.
My point is that discussion of indicated airspeed is silly without knowing
every parameter of the flight. Density altitude is critical to the
discussion.
As one commentator indicated, as an old guy flyer it gives me great pleasure
to be behind an 0-200. I can drop into any field in Florida and find
somebody who knows the engine.
I'm happy to report that the folks at AMD got me out of the annual
in exactly 24 hours. I took off for the return flight exactly 24 hours from
when I arrived. The LONGEST part of the exercise was backing up the Dynon
prior to uploading the newest software rev. That took forever and we were
pretty much afraid to touch anything while the Dynon was plugged into the
laptop That's when we went to town and ate fried pork chops, okra, and
black eyed peas. With cherry cobbler and banana pudding.
Also, happy to report that the latest rev of the D-180 software completely
cured the problem of the charging the internal backup battery. It works
now.
We replaced the non-skid strips and yes, the heat gun made it a piece of
cake ... or pecan pie.. as the case may be.
Oh, by the way, everyone seems to want to know about the AMD Patriot. Watch
for it as a production airplane, with an option for floats, in early 2008.
Pieces and parts from S. America.. customized and assembled for you by fine
Georgia (USA) Craftsman. Engine by Lycoming... and proud of it.

Do you have an early or current version of the Dynon? Software
download problems aside, are you satisfied? Finally, are software

The airframe of the Zenairs can handle a g-load of +6. With a 100hp engine
you can't sustain more than 3G. So what's the point of an engine that can
handle more than this ? (Unless you taxiing the Paris-Dakar wth your
aircraft).

I have had experience on both fronts:
1) I had a catastrophic crash of a hard disk that had 5 years of digital
photos on it that were not backed up.....Stupid me had backed a laptop's
data on the removable backup drive overtop of the main system backup to play
with Linux when the crash on the main system occurred. I took my drive to a
data-forensic company here in Toronto. After 2 week, a complete drive
rebuild in a clean room and hours of data recovery tries, I got nothing!
Fortunately, I also got a bill of $0 since they don't charge if they cant
get any data.
2) Since then I have been a religious backer-upper. On our household
network I started with an Xmeta NAS drive that everyone in the house backed
up to. I recently upgraded to a DROBO system (www.drobo.com) and have been
extremely happy. In a nutshell, the system can hold up to 2 TB of data in
mirror. If a drive fails, the system lets you know, and you can hotswap
the failed drive without turning anything off and the system will
automatically re-mirror itself. Very nice!
With 500 GB drives running under $200 there is not excuse not to run a full
time backup system.
I know the frustration Mark. Been there, done that!

Backing up disks the size of the ones now used in PC's is a rather large
project. It might be easier to obtain one of the readily available cheap
RAID controllers and a second hard drive of the same capacity. You can
have full and real time redundancy. Better than backups with less
effort.

Also Microsoft Home Server is now out. Although dedicated servers running
MHS like HPs are not out yet you can buy just the software and install it on
a regular PC. Like the Drobo it does pseudo-RAID and ensures that your data
is redundantly spread across multiple drives. The advantage of MHS over the
Drobo or an external NAS box is that it runs on generic hardware. If your
proprietary hardware dies you loose access to all your redundant drives
(this happened to at least one Buffalo customer I know of).

Hi guys,
The construction journal put my batteries at 4 years, so this year one
had to be replaced.
Battery replacement and access seemed difficult as the 601s cabin width
contradicts my 6-0 frame. A fetal position isnt good at my age, so
perhaps a description is due for those who contemplate or are putting
these batteries a foot or more behind the passenger seat for a balanced CG.
The new battery was taken to the hangar. With the hangar door and canopy
up, 3/8-inch wrenches were placed on the back shelf and a trouble light
was set thru the pilot side. The seat backs were removed and a large
foam-filled pillowcase was placed on each seat. Large foam-filled
pillows make a full-width flat space thats near level with the console.
Then, standing on the wing walk facing out, I carefully lowered my
bottom over the side rail onto the foam pillow and pilots seat. I then
laid back over the console onto the other side and twisted left to get
both arms thru the seat bulkhead to the batteries. With tennis shoes and
knees still hanging outside, it was tolerable!
During construction, I placed my ground and contactor connections
forward of the batteries to put the 4 cable connections in close
proximity so without disconnecting, each battery can be lifted and
rotated for removal.
The battery hold-down bungee was removed and #1 battery was lifted from
the box, rotated 180 degrees, and moved forward to a support tray
between the battery box and the seat. There, the terminals were undone
and the new battery was installed. Reconnect was easier and took half
the time from this position.
The reason I mention this, its easy to bust something trying to access
to things forward and aft of the seats, but the pillows work really well
and dampen the rib pain.
So, if you do contemplate putting batteries back there consider little
things that make them accessible and serviceable.
Fly safe guys,

Frank--
Don't know why it took so long for your upgrade on the Dynon. I just upg
raded to the latest software on both my D100 and D180. The D180 took about
20 minutes to backup current software and about 1/2 to upload new software
. The EFIS only too about 20 minutes to do the upload.

t@matronics.comSubject: Zenith-List: Flew an AMD 601XL yesterday
Actually.. I've been flying an AMD 601XL for exactly a year. On Tuesday I
flew it back from its annual in Georgia to Marathon in the Florida Keys. I
t was about 5 hours in the air with one stop at Lakeland, FL for the old ma
n.
As far as the indicated airspeed, in general flying I often see indicated a
t 110-115 knots and I often see 100 knots. Tuesday was a 100 knot day... a
t 8500 feet with the ground temp at 92 and the density altitude in the stra
tosphere someplace. I had to be that high to scrape over the tops... and
at one point Ft. Myers approach said "uh, three alpha mike .. barometer 299
2." That was the controller's subtle way of asking me if I knew what altit
ude I was at. The Dynon reported about 9100'. Some cloud tops were higher
. The little prop was turning and the fuel was burning, but the airspeed w
as quivering at 99 knots. I held the 0-200 to 2550 RPM, although I'm sure
it would have been safe closer to the red line. The EGTs and CHTs were dan
dy. I just told him that I was clearing clouds and he said, "Maintain VFR"
. That's the right answer.
My point is that discussion of indicated airspeed is silly without knowing
every parameter of the flight. Density altitude is critical to the discuss
ion.
As one commentator indicated, as an old guy flyer it gives me great pleasur
e to be behind an 0-200. I can drop into any field in Florida and find some
body who knows the engine.
I'm happy to report that the folks at AMD got me out of the annual in exact
ly 24 hours. I took off for the return flight exactly 24 hours from when I
arrived. The LONGEST part of the exercise was backing up the Dynon prior
to uploading the newest software rev. That took forever and we were pretty
much afraid to touch anything while the Dynon was plugged into the laptop
That's when we went to town and ate fried pork chops, okra, and black eyed
peas. With cherry cobbler and banana pudding.
Also, happy to report that the latest rev of the D-180 software completely
cured the problem of the charging the internal backup battery. It works n
ow.
We replaced the non-skid strips and yes, the heat gun made it a piece of ca
ke ... or pecan pie.. as the case may be.
Oh, by the way, everyone seems to want to know about the AMD Patriot. Watc
h for it as a production airplane, with an option for floats, in early 2008
. Pieces and parts from S. America.. customized and assembled for you by f
ine Georgia (USA) Craftsman. Engine by Lycoming... and proud of it. --

I m installing the control cables in my 601 XL and have a problem with
the trun buckles.
Do the barrells have a right and left hand thread ?
I think they do and all of the "forks and eyes" have right hand threads.
Am I wrong or did Zenith send me the wrong parts ??

The turnbuckle barrels have a left hand thread on one end and a right
hand thread on the other. There should be forks or eyes with either
left hand thread or right hand thread to match the barrels. If Zenith
sent the wrong parts, give them a call and they should send out the
right parts right a away. I've gotten real good service from them
while I was building my plane.

They are designed so that you can turn the barrel one way to tighten, one
way to loosen. They need both right and left.

Ok, here is some pretty good software for the airplane mechanic or even
the airplane hobbyist.
It was $22 and I downloaded or you can get the cd. It is called the
Mechanics toolbox @ http://www.mechanicsupport.com/TellMeMore1.html and
after being a mechanic for my entire life, I find this a great single
resource for anything. I have been playing with it for a week and still
amazed at all the things I find in it. Example Fasternes listed by part
number, type with their strengths broken down by shear, tension, wear,
vibrations.......tons of info. I was looking for my Bendix mag book for
our Cessna 206 with the big turbocharged Lycoming in it, out mag died
and I could not find the parts list to order new points......guess what
it was in the Mechanics Toolbox........guys check out the software. You
can download it and check it out in Demo mode. I believe it is well
worth the money.
