Re: Hangar Insurance

Ryszard Zadow
 

Does your project have an airworthiness certificate yet?

I’ve run into this before. If you’re still building you don’t have an aircraft. Sounds like they are demanding coverage for an aircraft. Apples and oranges. A general liability policy may satisfy them. Check with the RAFEs insurance people. Ask for a Tracy Martin

Aviation Insurance Resources
(301) 682-6200

That goes for anyone interested in getting coverage. RAFE has built a great working relationship with AIR. They have been very competitive and willing to listen to our needs.

I don't even know what that means - roll stability... They're about on the CG, so even though they add area, they won't affect pitch or yaw (directional) stability much, if any.

But the spiral (roll stability) mode in these planes is generally negative and non-oscillatory, meaning that eventually, the plane will fall off to one side or the other and the roll angle will continue increasing if not corrected by the pilot. "Straightening the airflow" means nothing in this context.

So I'm with you - skeptical, at best.

As you would expect, the pods add weight and drag, as well as some roll inertia. Not a lot of weight by themselves, and not a lot of weight even when loaded with the 25 lb. allowable in each. So maybe 75 lb. total, located about on the CG. You won't notice much of an effect from the weight.

But they certainly add drag. The EZ's and COZY's I've flown with and without pods seem to be about 7 KTAS slower at altitude (+/- 3 KTAS) with the pods on them, and climb a few hundred fpm slower than without pods. YMMV a bit.

If you can notice a roll response difference with the pods vs. without them, then you're a better test pilot than I am (not saying much, of course - I'm not a test pilot). While they are outboard of the strakes, so outboard of the fuel tanks, they only hold 25 lb (plus their own weight), so they're the equivalent of maybe 6 gallons of gas. Not a lot of extra inertia, but some.

There are a couple of folks that have claimed that the pods made them go faster by a few kts. This, of course, is complete nonsense, and speaks to a lack of accurate data gathering ability. There's no way that adding drag to a plane makes it faster, obviously. There were some interesting theories as to why their planes went faster with the pods :-).

I have the excellent Kevin Walsh document to adapt for my Long-EZ.

Assuming you follow Kevin's document, theoretically you'd need to repeat a substantial # of the tests both without and then with pods installed. These would include (but are probably not limited to) stall tests, climb tests, glide tests, stability tests, and flutter tests. Basically, anything that the aerodynamics and weight distribution of the pods might affect.

Most people don't do this when installing pods, of course, but most people seem not to do much in the way of testing in Phase I - they fly around in circles for 40 hours at a mid-CG, mid-weight condition and then call it good. Very disappointing. Be better than that.

Re: Dynon Xponder and HDX wiring

Yea, the resistor is 1.21 k.  Didn't know older 430Ws needed updates.  I'm in the process of installing an Avidyne unit and will probably install a GPS out wire when I build the harness.  I installed the SV-GPS-2020 last year, but it's so easy to add the wire when building the harness it's good to have options if my 2020 goes tango uniform.

Hi Scott- Since no one else has chimed in, I'll give it a shot.  From the SkyView installation manual, revision AD, page 11-11:

As it says, since you have the SV-GPS-2020 installed on your system, pin 3 is not used.  Your 261 transponder will get all the position data it needs to be 2020 compliant thru whichever serial port (#1 - #4, since #5 is generally recommended for connecting your SV-GPS-2020) you chose to connect it to the rest of your system.

If you had the older (non-2020 compliant) SV-GPS-250 for your system, but also had a WAAS IFR GPS navigation unit (Garmin 430/530W, Avidyne 440/ 540, etc.) installed, you could route a position signal from that WAAS to pin 3 to become 2020 compliant.

Re: Dynon Xponder and HDX wiring

You can connect it to pin 3, however not directly. You need to put a resistor of relatively specific value ( can’t remember the value but it is in the instal instructions—- the value given is really wierd but dynon told me rounding is ok-check to insure ) in series with the connection.

Thought I'd give the new canard zone a try with a question I've been searching on today without success:

 I've got a Dynon Xponder 261 (2020 ADSB-OUT compliant) and a Dynon HDX display and Dynon's GPS 2020.  The wiring for the Xponder shows a serial interface with the HDX in both directions and it appears to be working in the sense that it provides ALT out, but I've not checked with others in flight yet to see if I'm showing up on their ADSB-IN displays.  

Here's my question:  The Xponder wiring diagram also shows an optional GPS data input to the Xponder that I've not wired yet.  Does the Dynon Xponder 261 get it's GPS information from the HDX (which most definitely has the GPS wired to it) over the HDX<->Xponder serial port, or do I have to wire this external GPS input in addition to the HDX serial lines to get the full benefit of GPS over the ADSB-OUT functionality of the Xponder?

Thanks,

You are misinformed of what Scott just did with his original post.  By posting to the top-level list, Scott was able to send a valid question to both the Canard Aviators AND Defiant Flyers lists without cross-posting.

 

Here’s the structure of the mailing lists, with each having an email address:

 

 

Why not consider moving the Cozy mailing list to be a third group here so that we can avoid the cross-posting mayhem that happens, where email subjects end up with nearly unreadable subject lines, for example “Re: Re: [C-A] Dynon Question Re: COZY: Dynon Question” – now that is ridiculous!  I’d be happy to work with you on that so you can manage the Cozy Mailing List membership exactly as you do today.  Now that would be a step in the right direction for everyone – one place to sign up for mailing lists.

 

Regards,

Jon

The SV-XPNDR-261/262 chapter, page 11-11 of the Skyview Installation Manual clearly addresses this question. You don't have to wire the external GPS input if you have the GPS-2020 installed.

Hello, I want to clarify some following points made in a separate thread on the Canard Aviators mailing list:

Bruce Hughes wrote: I think your question is automatically transferred to Canardzone.

Close, but not entirely accurate. The Canard Zone has read-only subforums that allow members to read (but not reply to ) messages posted in various canard-related mailing lists like this one.

Bruce also wrote: I think most of the guys that were using "canard-aviators" from Yahoogroups have moved over to CanardZone.

While there are both mailing list and online members, from what I can tell the Canard Aviators and Defiant Flyers mailing lists haven't missed a beat.

With all this said, the goal is to move towards a single membership between the Canard Zone and various mailing lists to allow a seamless posting and membership experience. There are a number of challenges to make this happen, including technology and logistics, even making it doubtful this can actually happen within a reasonable amount of work. Until then, posting to these mailing lists remains separate from one's membership and posts at the Canard Zone.

Everyone is welcome to join the Canard Zone -- please do, as there are often questions that would benefit from additional expertise such as yours.

Thank you,
Jon
