I have several of a similar design in my bucket. The terminals, not the completed fuse block. +300 hours, none have loosened up or failed. +5, +12, GND at my EMS module. 'quick' disconnects at the

There are other places that sell that. Shop around I do and get my alum in Sacramento 30 miles away. Tom Smith A&P/IA Long-EZ N12TS Cell-707-592-0869 KVCB KJ6PZN

I installed a VPX in my Varieze. It works pretty well. Depends on a third party efis however and you have to switch pages to get to the controls. I don’t have a zillion breakers on the panel and the

That's not a suggestion. It's not a special area in a far off airport. It's also not a semi vulgar expression. I'm curious about the use of Screw Terminals - the kind where the terminal block

That's not a good thing to be shorted any material, if it is raw goods a vendor should always give excess. I think if Jim were aware of this he'd get it sorted.

Fellow Canardians, I never though I would do this but I need to e-mail Jim Irwin at Aircraft Spruce if you have it so I can make him aware of this. Please e-mail it to me privately. Twice now I

I need to clarify what I said before: 1. The Trio Avionics ProPilot is excellent as far as I know but I have been too busy to give it a fair trial. 2. The price is OK but I thought the hookup

I’ve used a $2 squirt bottle with PVA before. Not as good as a spray gun but it can work if you don’t have the gun. Izzy

We will see what the next 7 days does to move the stuff on the prog charts to smiles, tears or a mix of both! J J John Lambert

It looks like pretty good high pressure ares predicated for the RR area next Wednesday and Thursday. Might have to skirt around North Texas and the Panhandle if your coming from the west (West seems

Unsure of your build. Release tape a 5 gallon bucket. Lay up 3-4 plies of BID approximately 1/3 way around the bucket. "Pop" off, trim sections out for your deflectors/ramps. Sand to fit cowls, flox

Axle grease? The standard is (I think) 3 coats of mold release wax (cheap) followed by 3 coats of PVA (less cheap). I have the best luck applying the PVA with a paint spray gun. I even wax duct tape

Hi all, You may have followed some of my recent posts about a Dynon EFIS and my autopilot; both to get ready for RR and another trip planned up North. The EFIS D-10A is installed and working

Dell, I may have spoken too soon as re-reading your email I see that you are not flying in that you are not flying zigzagging like bouncing off the walls of an imaginary corridor. That is the symptom

Dell, What you describe is probably a 'limit cycle'. The output shaft on the Navaid is staked with a roll pin. This part of the train is after the servo pot/shaft which accurately positions the shaft

Hi Del, On the Navaid servo that gap is used to allow the solenoid plunger to lift before actuating the pivot arm. I’ve “tuned” a pile of these here at Trio and know that if you decrease

Hi all, I got the servo out of the Hell hole and on the bench. The potentiometer is a very high quality one and it tests well for no dead spot near the middle, at least best I can tell with a

Hi EJ and all, I just called Trio about my problem with a Navaid I am using with my Trio EZ Pilot. They answered the phone right away and were very helpful, and knowledgable, even though it was

Hi Rich, Actually with the Trio controlling the trim I have had the reverse problem. It had set the trim and when I turned off the autopilot I was way out of trim. It may have been the setup on
