I have followed the advice of some of the AeroElectric List old-timers- don't remember who- to just buy the cheapest PC-680 sized battery off of amazon and replace it every year. At $40-ish per batter ...

So this test confirmed that the old regulator was not functioning. I installed the trial Ford regulator permanently. So nice to know with some confidence that my alternator is working normally.

Hello expert electron herders-

I'm just finishing the phase one flight test on my O-360 powered RV-7A wired per Z13-8 and I'm trying to troubleshoot a main alternator problem which is that the alte ...

Hello all-

I am in the final throes of wiring my RV-7A and one of the last tasks is to route the CHT and EGT leads from the engine to the firewall. My questions is- how much clearance, if any, do ...

I am close to finishing the firewall forward wiring of my RV-7A project and have been able to find very little guidance on where to locate the external voltage regulators. There will be two VRs- a VR- ...

Same with my account. When I initially checked my subscription status it showed that I was subscribed to Aeroelectric list Digest emails. So I unsubscribed and re-upped thinking that might "re-se ...

Hi Charlie- I apologize for not being clear. I was directing my comment to Jurgen - the poster who complained about a gazillion pages of gibberish and in so doing included the gazillion pages of gibb ...

FYI: Everyone who reads the list via email just got a gazillion pages of gibberish due to your post. This is an extra PIA for those of us who subscribe to the digest as we have to scroll through all o ...

Same here. I've been subscribed to the digest emails and I haven't gotten anything for a week or two. Not certain of the exact date they stopped. I've unsubscribed and re-subscribed and no joy. Sent M ...

Ok, never mind. After posting this I went back one more time and immediately found what I was looking for. Go figure. I have spent 2+ hours looking for this. Sorry to take the groups time. Here's the ...

Hi-

Some time ago Bob published a sample switch panel layout that showed switches and labels. I generally copied one of the examples and am now ready to label my panel but I can't find Bob's drawin ...

Bob-

All this recent talk about internal and external regulated alternators has reminded me that once upon a time (several years ago at an Aeroelectric Seminar in Prescott, AZ) you said that you we ...

Sam-

I did something similar. I wanted a USB charging port and had looked at the possibility of canabalizing a car charger- just a few dollars plus the time and energy to tear it apart and (hopeful ...

Tim-

Good advice and I agree wholeheartedly with your recommendation for a better GPS for flying in the clouds. I will be VFR only for a while with plans to upgrade to an IFR panel with the additio ...

Nelson-

The 4.8 volts is for fuel probes but it sounds like a number of other GRT/RV guys have successfully used that output to power the GPS receiver. I will probably go with the converter anyway. ...

Tim and Nelson-

Thanks for the info.

As to the 5 volts I may be able to pull that from the GRT Engine Information System which outputs 4.8 volts for excitation voltage or I can install a 12V to ...

Hi all-

I am installing my GRT Sport EFIS which I purchased without the internal GPS option. The Sport has the capability of accepting GPS data via a serial (single wire) input. I'm a working guy, ...

I think my Hotmail address book is on their server because when I log into my email account from another computer I can access it to send emails.

This happened to me on my Hotmail account and it did not go away until I changed my password. Hard as I might try to prevent it some jerk got my Hotmail password and sent Russian porn and Canadian Pha ...

I made a cable with a 10 ohm resistor in series with the 12 volt feed from the plane to the A24. This puts a small charge into the A24 battery, but the radio still operates from its internal battery. ...
