Gary, DVD-5 is the amount of data the DVD holds, not the format of the disk. I'm guessing the DVDs we're getting are DVD-5s, because they usually have only one hour of video on them. But that's only a guess, and it may not be the case. I'm concerned that I'm pushing this off into a discussion of DVD technology, which probably doesn't belong on the Zenith forum. If someone wants to discuss it more, I'll be glad to discuss it, but please contact me directly. -- ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager ============================================ ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:40:23 AM PST US From: Jim Belcher Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Cleaning/removing EZ-turn (fuel lube) On Thursday 02 July 2009 20:42, Craig Payne wrote: > > Can anyone recommend a solvent to clean or remove EZ-turn (fuel lube)? > MEK (methyl-ethyl-ketone) will disolve most lubricants. It's available at many hardware stores. It's probably one of the best cleaners for things like that I've found, but it's toxic.

If you messed up those critical notches, you may need a bit more torque. I don't know what values "just snug" or "bit more" translate to. I did use a second nut to lock down against my AN365-820, and a washer between 6G3-4 and the nuts.

I think the instructions come with the Matco stuff, not ZAC stuff.? It has been a while since I did this, but here is how I did it.??? You tighten the nut down until you feel a drag when you rotate the wheel.? Then back the nut off to the next cotter pin hole. Pin it and that's it.

Clearly Jay and I are answering different questions... When reading over these digests in 2006 and 2007 it was a little bit of a learning curve to determine if the answer fit the question... to those lurking and building like I did, take notice... I remember back to the 3/8 AN hardware question way back, the person asking the question meant AN3 torque values but asked for 3/8" values and was given AN6 torque values... the size of the wrench compared to the shaft was the confusing part... Carroll, did you mean the bolts speced on 6-G-3 or the main axle nut?

(you may not film forums for commercial use!) However, if I am able to record the presentation, I would make it available on DVD for newsletter members (free) but only by individual request and not as part of each newsletter. This way, I think I would be adhering to the spirit of the rule. It is my opinion that this presentation will be rehashing mostly old news about this topic (I was in attendance at the Sun n Fun version 2 months ago!) There was little content that would have been useful to most readers. (esp for 701, 801, 750 builders,etc) It reminded me of local city meetings where unhappy people vent their frustrations and questions that cannot possibly be answered get asked over and over by the same group of people... And yes, we break the 1hr DVD recording barrier whenever needed.... variable compression at burning time allows up to 2 hrs per disk, at the sacrifice of video quality. A great accomplishment by the "standards" committees: that DVD with your newsletter works on every player in the WORLD...very impressive! The biggest problem is that some computer DVD players do have issues.... they are not created equal... but that $29 stand alone DVD player from Walmart always works! I will be concentrating on filming/interviewing pilots with their Zenith aircraft at Airventure... so if you are planning on flying in and want to share your story of flight and aircraft, please advise me so I can find you! Also, it is always fun to film the builder's dinner... so if you cannot make it this year, I want to be able to share that experience with you. This is what the newsletter & video are for! If you have other ideas/suggestions, let me know! The issue out next month has some neat interviews from the recent ZAC fly-in..... did you know there is a gentleman that is building his 7th Zenith aircraft kit! By the time I was done talking with him I wanted to place an order with ZAC...

It points a little off occasionally. The first time I flew into Grand Prairie, I was flying low so the tower guy couldn't see me, then I realized I was aiming about a half mile to the right of the runway. I now just get a few miles out and spot the runway, then ignore the thing. I especially like the "nearest airport" feature by pressing the zoom In and zoom Out at the same time. I use this while I'm flying long distances periodically just to know how far the nearest airport is in case of emergency. I like my airmap 2000c.
