Please resize your pictures. I'll third that. The amount of data I can download per day is limited by the provider, and a huge picture must be scrolled. However, there are times it would be nice to look at the details. Perhaps things with a lot of detail might be resized for the email, and a full size version put on a server somewhere so it can be downloaded if the detail is needed. -- ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager ============================================ ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:32:57 AM PST US From: Jim Belcher Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: Question for anyone using GretzAero's Pitot mount with Dynon On Wednesday 22 July 2009 21:14, Ron Lendon wrote: > > Gig, > > I made up my own, you can see how here: > http://mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=rlendon&project=113&category >=0&log=26951&row=521 > > If you make your own you can make the hole pattern whatever you want/need > it to be.

That's excellent news Bill. It's pretty hard to get that done without any cracks to stop drill and repair.

Nice as it would be, from what I've gathered, the additional expense isn't justified by the way I fly. And, with a nice light prop, you won't likely put a lot of side load on the crank nose.

The main bearings looked new still with no scratches or copper showing. They still had the aluminum sheen like they do out if the box. I was quite surprised. My plane now sport the 100 hp IFB (integral front bearing) that I designed for Aeromax Aviation. More data later but the stock nitrided crank should be just fine for that application. I would use our new rear starter alt setup though. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 23, 2009, at 2:49 PM, wrote: I'm going to pass on the fifth bearing.

Look very nice, but time consuming to make. Today, I dind't do anything worth photographing, but the centre wing (601-HD) is looking interesting, now that the seat is in place.
