| Subject: | Re: Molex crimping |
Bill,
I had problems with soldered connectors in my A200 and after a
protracted effort, a repairman had to crimp the pieces to get the good
contact that was needed.
*June 6* After a search of the Matronics page, the Aero Electric
connection, a comment on poor contact between the edge connector and
pins used on the ICOM A200 was found. I went to the airport and wiggled
each individual wire and found the M and 11 power input wires adjacent
to each other would cause erratic variation in volume. The radio was
removed and then the two pins were carefully removed. The tabs were
spread and the pins were carefully reinserted. Then the volume had to be
lowered on traffic reporting at a 100 miles out even with the hanger
door still down. Wiggling the wires still cause the signal to vary
considerably, but the problem is identified and now only requires a
solution. Molex edge card connector p/n 09-50-6155 and pins p/n
08-03-0303 will be ordered from Mouser Electronics tomorrow by phone.
Thanks again to the Matronics subscribers.
*June 7* Pins and connector were ordered from Mouser and my insurance
was bound with AIG shortly after. A 3-piece set of 6-ft static-ground
wires with gator ends was made to allow refueling on a regular gas
basis. The Illinois Department of Aeronautics Registry was called and
forms were requested to get the airplane sticker needed to show
compliance with the state user tax. Out at the hangar, the radio was
again pulled and pins were adjusted outward with better results, but 30
new pins and connector pre-wired and glued in place may be in order.
There's just too much play in pin position with the radio in to fly
without fixing this. Tomorrow, Tim will take a look and hopefully adjust
the side tone and possibly offer suggestions.
*June 8* On this semi-rainy morning the aircraft was open and accessible
at 9:00 a.m. Tim arrived and after checking out the contacts, wires and
intercom, he soon resolved that the radio problems are with my
connector, some incorrect shielding and the manner in which I soldered
the pins. He removed two screws holding the connector using a foot long
screwdriver and pushed it out from the inside to gain more direct access
to pins while remaining connected. He determined another less abused
connector was needed. I closed the hangar, had lunch with the guys at
the Lucky 8 and visited Warren electric without success. Then I called
ICOM parts and was able to order one in stock from them. Now we wait for
one in the mail from ICOM and one backordered from Mouser Electronics to
see which gets here first. Thirty pins are already on their way from Mouser.
*June 9* It rained on and off today. The ground wires that FAA inspector
wanted tie-tied off were finally secured. A standard oil filler neck
from my spare EA-81 was compared to the customized Stratus design. One
could conclude that the filler should be turned toward the other side
proximate to the dipstick so that the access door would suffice for both
checking and adding oil. It doesn't seem it would be a lot of work to
remake the tube to get it there. Tim was unable to get the external snap
ring off the 90-degree coax fitting inside the radio case, so I made a
tool for reaching it like Tim's so it might be out before we resume.
*June 14* With thunder and rain this morning, the hangar door was opened
and there was enough light to remove the new oil filler tube and
reassemble it with a proper amount of gasket sealer. The short 40-degree
off angle 6mm Allen wrench was cut to 5/8" and the other end was bent as
well as twisted by the width of one flat. This made it possible to
tighten the nearly inaccessible bolt in short increments alternating
ends. Tim arrived after noon and began cutting wires from the old
connector and putting proper crimps to new pins and snapping each in
place one by one into the new connector. I was humbled as I watched him
crimp the pins so perfectly. I had incorrectly assumed they could be
crimped and soldered, but they just don't fit well in the connector as a
soldered pin. Within an hour or more, the radio was slid in and a radio
check to ground control was very clear both ways in both headsets. Later
in the evening, Lee and I visited the hangar to add a little insulating
tape and some tie-ties to secure things again and the radio work was
finally done.
What a hassle! Recommend you crimp the pieces, not solder. Also, do
this prior to installation of the connector and support tray.

Larry-
Three questions-
1. What crimper finally worked?
2. "Prior to installation of the connector and support tray". I was
planning on "Nailing down" the tray after the BNC antenna connection had
been installed. How does the pre-installation of the Molex connector to the
tray have an effect?
3. I thought you had a Becker com.

List,
many thanks to "Jeff" for the photos and directions for the dams in the Ram Air
Cooling Ducts.( Jabiru 3300 ) i installed the dams on the 2 rear cylinders with
only 1/8" clearance above the fins including the steel fins on the cylinder.i
also continued thru the gap in the spark plugs to the outside edge of the
duct. the temperature dropped from 335 ~ 340 to 265. UNBELIEVABLE. that is a
75 deg. drop. i was starting out with the dams too small.
you can learn a lot from this list if you go with the ones that know.
thanks again.

| Subject: | Re: Molex crimping |
Bill,
The crimper he used was specifically the three stage fold and crimp, but
it was his crimper and the ability to do the job without soldering that
made it work.
I found it really awkward to wire the Molex connector in place with the
tray already installed. We worked around that with close proximity to
the header tank and that just made the job much longer. A wired Molex
connector and "free tray" would at least offer and easier opportunity to
examine the
plug and wiring installation prior to a final push-in connection with
the radio. I have a Becker transponder and an ICom A200. My pathetic
crimp/solder
work wasn't discovered as a poor connection until all was in place.
Removal of the connector was an especially difficult complication. Thank
God I made the forward
top skin removable!
Golly, it looks like cross between a single tailed P-38 and a U-2
cockpit for camera or light bomber work. Surely a fast plane, but what
is it?
I don't know.

Jay, remember, if you spring link the flap torque tube to the elevator horn to
apply a pitch bias when the flaps are lowered you have to limit flap travel to
24 degrees.

| Subject: | Re: Aileron Trim Tab Lessons Learned Request |
See these attached photos of the top and bottom aileron skin measurements for the
trim tab and motor.
The plans call for 145mm from edge of trim tab cut out to the bottom row of holes
in the servo, by my measurements 135mm is the better measurement due to interference
with the aileron spar flange. Any others out there experiencing the
same issue? I love pre-punched skins just wish they'd pre-punched out the trim
tab like they do in the elevator.
higher resolution photos available here;

| Subject: | Canopy / Rail Flush to Fusealge side |
List,
I think I know the answer but would rather ask for conformation.
When looking at drawing 6-C-3 there are 2 sections, A-A and B-B.
Both of these show the Canopy rail at or near flush to the fuselage side.
When you start with the Rail bolting to the Upper engine mount/Canopy bracket
there in itself there is a offset of several millimeters in itself . This means
the section B-B is not true. What about section A-A! IS it true showing flush
to the side?
So, before I place my strikers, what is the rail to fuselage side flush condition
at the striker and then going forward to the hinge point of the rail? Or,
what have you guys done that have past this area of assembly?

Anthony,
Try transferring the flange line to the outside of the skin after you have the
access hole cut. I think the servo needs to be close but not touching the flange,
perhaps .5mm clearance.
Make sure you have a straight line from the servo to the trim tab horn and it will
work out.
The wings aren't here otherwise I would give you some dimensions.
