Being a controller (enroute not tower) its very Pavlovian for us to want to get as much info out as quick as possible when we are also readying other clearances or are busy. This usually only amplifies confusion and creates unnoticed read back errors but it is just a trained reflex. Worst case scenario and the controller is nasty, just continue to ask for clarification (DO NOT proceed if uncertain) because a nasty controller is also the one who is very likely to start his next transmission "N1234 possible pilot deviation contact....." and you definitely don't want to hear those words. It's a sad state that controllers can harbor that animosity toward pilots, it seems we expect them all to be perfect, but remember when it ultimately comes down to it we all just want to fly safely.

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Who sell battery contactors Aircraft Spruce will almost always have what you want. My starter does not pass through a battery cutoff relay so the max load I can ever see through it is 16 amps. I simply went down to the local auto supply and bought a 35 amp continuous duty relay for $6 and used that. I figured that with the 2.5 amp real load I will experience flying daylight VFR it's more tha adequate. If you really want the full meal deal head on down to your local RV dealer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Heap" Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 7:32 PM Subject: Zenith-List: Who sell battery contactors > > What are people using.

It came complete with all the diodes, as recommended in the Aeroelectric Connection book. I actually got three contactors from them - the battery contactor, the alternator contactor (I'm using the Stratus engine), and the starter contactor. They're slightly different from each other, so you have to be careful which goes where. Bill > > What are people using. I can't find them in Assco or any of the usual places.

And of course Todd who sold me the bubble in the first place. Hey Dan, Congratulations on completing your canopy. I'm sure it looks great. I have a question of you. How did you make contact with Todd's Canopy? I sent them an email on May 16th and they have yet to answer me. There has been a rumor circulating that Todd's is in the process of becoming the supplier for Zenith. I was down to the factory about a month ago and mentioned it to Joyce. She told me she hasn't heard a word about this, but she would be the last person to know if it was in the works. I did ask Todd in my e-mail if they were or were not going to supply the canopy to Zenith. As of yet, no word. I am leaning more towards a tinted Lexan canopy and I would like to know if I can or can't get one from him. Anything you can add to this is greatly appreciated.

This is the OLDER DVD for the BED (not ring) mount (although most of it would apply to the newer FWF kit ring mount from Zenith). The description is here: http://homebuilthelp.com/912.htm Free to the first taker BUT I would prefer that you only ask for it if you have an immediate and real need (i.e. don't be greedy). I'll mail it from Utah. -- Craig ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 10:55:48 PM PST US From: Paul Mulwitz Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Who sell battery contactors At 04:54 PM 5/27/2008, you wrote: >It came complete with all the diodes, as recommended in the >Aeroelectric Connection book. I also installed clamping diodes on the starter solenoid and battery contactor on my plane. One came with a diode and instructions, and I got a cheap diode (1N4003 I think) from Radio Shack for the other one. The actual component choice isn't critical for this application so long as it is a solid state diode. (On second thought, the first clamping diode may have been included with the magneto switch I ordered from Aircraft Spruce. I think it was added by STC to keep the starter switch from failing.) The clamping diodes are essential to keeping your electronics from seeing huge voltage spikes when the relay coil circuits are opened. Installation of this type of clamping diode is standard electronics industry practice any time a coil is switched in a DC circuit. Without this component, a coil can generate thousands of volts in even a 5 or 12 volt DC circuit when the circuit is opened.

Since I'll be installing a glass panel I'm offering the factory instruments for sale. The package was purchased from Zenith in April of 2006 and has never been installed. The kit includes: Airspeed, ball, magnetic compass, altimeter, tachometer (with 912 RPM limits color coded), oil temperature & pressure, coolant temperature, voltage indicator & hour meter. Although (I believe) not part of the Zenith package the photo also shows dual fuel level indicators, Ray Allen trim switch and indicator, 25 amp toggle-style circuit breaker and a standard left/right/both/crank key switch. Except for the trim switch and indicator I can include any of these (fuel level, key switch, circuit breaker) if you need them. Zenith lists the package for $1050. I'm offering the whole kit for $600. Buyer pays shipping of their choice from Utah. Picture attached.
