Christensen" , krnet mailing lists From: "HEATH, DANIEL R" Subject: RE: KR> Mixture Problem Message-ID: I had an 1835 with a POSA. I never saw exactly this situation, but I know that with a full tank, it would run very rich, to the point that the engine died while taxiing. I later went to an Ellison with a fuel pump. I never again had the problem. However, I think your problem must be in the intake. I think that each cylinder will suck fuel according to it's need for fuel. I believe that a difference in CC volume would simply make it run rough. Higher compression, needs higher octane. One other thing to check on the intake. If you have a hose as part of your manifold, could it be being compressed when hot, and not allowing as much fuel to one side? Daniel R.

Message-ID: <3A84B1EA.49AC318B@home.com> Rick, I'd have to look this up, but I would expect the major thing to worry about is impedence. I should have this memorized, but some of the Radio Shack coax is 75 ohm for monitor hook ups, not 50ohm. And you would want to use 50 ohm (I think). Otherwise, if the stuff is 50 ohm, and you are using 50 ohm impedence cable then you should be OK. GPS signals are pretty High Frequency (I think) above 1 Giga Hertz, again, I have read and forgotton most of this stuff as it was Don't Care information. I think you could always test the cable by hooking the coil up to the reciever on one end and the antenna on the other, and fire the GPS up with a battery and see if it acquires satellites... -- Ross EagleGator@aol.com wrote: > Hi Gang, > > I'm working on wiring my panel and my GPS manual says to use RG 142B/U or RG > 400/U coax to attach the antenna.

I think that's about right for the stabilser AOA. This issue is much ado about nothing ( per Bill Shakespere). Most of this aircraft, you can build pretty much like the plans with a bit of TLAR (that looks about right. If you want to worry about dimensions, worry about making both wings with the same AOA and twist at the tips. If you don't get that right, you'll always be sorry as hell.

What it gives you is a perfectly level top longeron to work with. It makes it so much easier to lay out and install your turtle deck, canopy frame and forward deck. It takes no longer to do away with banana boat syndrome than to build it with the BBS.
