When I built my Zodiac XL, I installed the factory "Landing Light Option" from Zenith.

As some of you may know, this contains two 100W incandescent aircraft bulbs (Wagner in my kit). Onc ...

I do have the AP74. It is great. Install is pretty easy and you get audio outputs for altitude alerts/AP disconnected etc. You can use the knob for entering various values.

Gig,

David is correct. I'm beta testing for Dynon. My install is very similar to his excellent pictures.

The physical install of the roll servo is a 'drop in' for the trutrak. The pitch servo d ...

Don,
Other than the smooth 90 degree rubber hose, the other thing I did to solve the *EXACT* problem you have was to get a smaller MID jet. I think, like David, I went from a 285 to a 280. I don't ...

I wish they'd had the QB gets when I was a starting.

Blimey, you had me worried. I though William had been 'parted out'!

List,
many thanks to "Jeff" for the photos and directions for the dams in the Ram Air Cooling Ducts.( Jabiru 3300 )

Aft of the left seat, riveted to the floor is far enough away from the flap motor not to be affected. This leaves room for the AP servos in the centre and the behind the right seat.

I put a "collar" (piece of plastic tubing about 5mm long) on my static port near the holes (about 3mm aft I think). This changed the airflow on the static port and decreased my IAS a few k ...

Thanks Jay. What date are your plans?

I looked closely at the pictures, and the bags say 'Tri Mix', so I googled it, and it appears to be ED medication that gives you an erection!

Are they trying to use it to make the wings stiff? !!!

I have a XL/Standard 12Gal wing tanks/Andair selector.

I probably already said this in the searchable archives (as did others), but here goes...
