FYI,
I received and briefly tested the $27 version below (running on the stair master). It seems to work fine. Can’t distinguish a difference from my prior $100 one.
Still waiting on the ...

Well, stay tuned here in the days just before the shows. We’d love to have you join us.

Do you get to SNF or OSH?
We typically have an informal ES builder/flyer dinner there (in addition to anything Lancair does).
Pretty good group, and the experienced builder/flyers have been ve ...

Gary,
FYI,
I noticed your post was from the Yahoo Lancair site. Good site, but….
Frankly, that site is not the most followed/active.

For ES info, there is a Lancair ES group he ...

Cirrus is really a side yoke (not a side stick). Although it only has one
"ear/handle", it still slides in/out, versus pivoting.
Furthermore, Cirrus Elevator/pitch and Aileron/roll cont ...

Where are you located?

Bob Thanks,

Bob,

I'm building a 28v Z-14 type dual-battery/dual-bus system with the voltage
regulators on the inside of the firewall and both 24v batteries in the tail
(for weight/balance considerations).

Bob,

I am doing some system load planning/balancing for a Z14 dual bat/dual bus
type setup. I have 28V SD20 and LS-1A as Alt#2. For the sake of
discussion, assume the alternator is turning 3500 ...

If you're thinking heated prop, Elec air conditioning, Elec cabin heat,
heated seals, or other high-energy goodies, then a 24V system/alternator
offers twice the "power" for roughly the sa ...

Some ES guys have built such a strap. One thought/caution is to build it
strong. My understanding (second hand), is that the Columbia pilot had the
strap in hand at the time of his door incident, ...

I'm a Lancair builder, but lurk here because of all the good experimental
dialog, much of which still applies regardless of the airframe. For those
RV'ers taking your door message to h ...

Steve,
Thanks for sharing the results of your testing! Curious...
1) For our benefit, were the altitudes below density altitudes (versus
indicated)?
2) Also, how did you measure speed to .1 knots ...

Bob,

I’m building a Z-14 (dual bat, dual alt, split bus) with a 100amp primary alt, a 20amp aux alt (SD20), and identical Odyssey style, AGM batteries. Thus, I’ve biased my heavy ...

Richard,

If you’re referring to the typical Ray Allen (RAC) electric trim, you’ll note that the only time there is power to the trim servo is when your wiring is commanding a trim ...

The only components that I could not find readily available in 28v (vs 14v)
were the Ray Allen trim servos (and they sell small converters). Most all
28V aircraft components are now essentially the ...

Jeff,
Lots of emotion on 24v vs 28v - features and compromises on both sides.

One advantage of 28v is often overlooked is that: essentially twice the
power is available from the alternator for es ...

Do inter tubes hold really Nitrogen better than air??? Air is composed of
~80% Nitrogen. So it would seem that if it is the "other" components of air
(mostly O2) that leak out, then the ...

I would't ever call loud banging an inappropriate use of the E word,
regardless of the root cause.
