I recently did some taxi testing of my RV8 and discovered I have a problem with a noisy turn coordinator causing my radio to be amost useless. I also have a flying RV8A which had the same problem, but was cured by fabricating and installing Bob's noise choke (Radio Shack 270-030). 



Unfortunately, this Radio Shack part along with the two alternative ones listed by Bob are no available from the Shack. Does anyone have an idea where I can get a noise filter similar to the ones formerly carried by RS?



Thanks......

Good Afternoon Walt,

  

 What about repairing or replacing the turn coordinator?

  

 There is no reason that a good unit should be noisy!

  

 In fact, I highly recommend that the Turn Coordinator be scrapped in lieu  of a Turn Needle, but that is another subject! 

  

 Happy  Skies,

Hi 'Old Bob",

I chuckle every time you get this in!  I to, am a firm proponent of the turn needle!  To me it is a direct reading instrument whereas every time I fly with a turn coordinator I have to convert everything its trying to tell me!

 



Could be a function of our age....  Aviation Cadet 60B......
