Ray:
There is NO simple answer. Get a "Machinist Handbook", the drill speed and
type of drill bit is determined by material you will be hoping to drill.
The Machinist Handbook has a chapter on SPEEDS & FEEDS. This will save
your butt many a time, the entire book is VERY helpful for so, so many
subjects. Great reference book. If you are building you can not LIVE
without it. It comes out in a new volume every few years, you may be able
to get an old copy from the library.

John--
Your radio is likely an ICS Plus, manufactured in Japan in the late 80's or early
90's and sold by Wag-Aero. ICS stands for "Integrated Communications Systems".
It had a lot of nice features for its time. It hasn't been available for
years, and as I understand it, the technician that worked on these units has since
retired and repairs are no longer possible. I know all this because I have
one in my '62 C-150B. I haven't used the radio for a while because the 150 is
a hangar queen, but the last time I checked on it, the LCD panel light is burned
out. I brought it home and tore it apart, but couldn't find a replaceable
bulb. Apparently the lamp is built into the panel somewhere. If/When the 150
starts flying again (FAA-no 3rd class medical??) I'll probably replace it.
No schematic, but I have a manual for it that I could scan and drop in the mail
to you if you would like.
