All I had to do was wire in a squelch and volume control and a PTT relay circuit based on a diagram supplied by Terra. Unfortunatly, Terra was bought out by (Garmin? I think) and no longer produces these nifty radios. If I can dig up the manual I can scan it, but the primary part of the intercom (VOX circuit) was built into the radio. I just had to buy two relays and two potentiometers[sp?].

Where can I get these things? I have never seen anything like them before and I am in the electrical trade. Can you shed some light on their origin for me? Thanks Dene Collett KR2S-RT builder Port Elizabeth South Africa mailto: dene.collett@telkomsa.net P.S: checkout www.whisperaircraft.com Answer from Serge: Hi, Dene. I forgot to brag about these, thank you for the opportunity ;-) These steel plates are very similar to what you find on certified aircraft. I actually found the steel pieces at a cable maker shop. These guys make control cables for cars and industrial applications. Some of these cables have a kind of "ball bearing" that allows them to go through a bulkhead at an angle. These nifty plates are in facts the clamps for the ball bearing. I bought all of their stock, which was not much. There were two sizes, the big size being needed only for the fuel line. >From there, all I had to do was to mold some grommets to fit in. I did >that with high temperature silicone sealant, hence the red color.

I use a Kabouta dynamo, with a Harly Davidson reg. on a volkspower case and driven by a modified gland nut/pully. I use a Rotax starter now, but when it fries I'll go with a subarue starter and adapt. plate. My batt. is a Dry cell for jet skis . I have a strobe, Radio, DG,fuel ,hobbs ,fuel boost pump and primary ignition driven off this set up and I still have about 6 amps to spare. Do the math on your amp load ,you may not need all that power. I have used this set up on two aircraft with no problems. Tim KR2 N7038V ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wood, Sidney M."

I am looking for information about supplementing and or replacing the Diehl alternator due to the electrical requirements that I have for full electrics, especially for night flying.

I had several thoughts on how I was going to finish mine but I ended up leaving them exposed on one side. On the elevator I left the bottom exposed and on the rudder I left one side exposed. I made the access holes as small and neat as possible and on the rudder I painted them white on the inside. I can inspect or lubricate my bolts/hinges without any problems.

You can see my speed brake at: http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flesner/19.jpg (speed brake) The holes are 3/4" as that is one of the hole cutter saws I had. I seem to recall the holes are to help create extra drag. One of the U.S. Navy WWII torpedo planes had a speed brake with lots of large holes. Your C.G. location is approx where mine is with just me (200 lbs) and full fuel (25 gal). My KR is standard but has a 24" stretch on the fuselage. At that C.G. my KR still handles well. Even with an additional 150 lbs in the passenger seat it does not seem to be overly sensitive. The controls are light at all C.G. locations for me but it has yet to feel over sensitive.

You don't even need (or want) the bulb. I don't think you need the $110 model from Jegs for what you're doing. Somebody might argue that it'd be nice to have the 100ml model with stand, but I've reproduced three measurements and come out within .1 ml each time, so I think it's close enough to use a 10ml. I just suck some atf/kerosene up in there, cover the end with my finger, drain it til the miniscus is at the 0ml mark, and put the rest in the chamber, repeat five more times, and pay particular attention to the final reading on the fifth load. It works for me, and only costs 10 bucks. Most people aren't trying to match combustion chamber sizes, but just get an idea of what their chamber volume is so they can get the right shims under them to get their target compression ratio. As shown at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/valvejob.html , even when you know the chamber volumes, the available shim thicknesses dictate that you can only shift the compression ratio by something like a third of a point anyway...

This is because the CG is approaching the Center of Pressure (or lift as some know it) and so instead of the plane acting like you are balancing a see saw with one foot stretched out on each side of the hinge, it is like bringing your feet close together and still trying to balance the see saw. It can be done but takes alot more concentration, and smaller deviations result in bigger movements of the see saw. Same applies to the aircraft. It is akin to trying to balance on one foot. Larry's longer tail boom makes his less sensitive because he pry bar or leverage is better, and he is more stable with the greater keel effect of the aircraft. Larry's also has a higher wing loading due to shorter wings, which will have a tendency to make his less sensitive as well. Diehl wing skins should make it even more so as they have the additional wing panel outboard of the plans tip.

I actually ordered one and had it here but returned it because I decided not to use it.
