  1. As Aerodon stated, the switch is the breaker. see attachment.
  2. Does it freely move after you push it in? If yes, it may be internal to the clutch. If no, I would look at the rest of the assembly.
  3. If you turn the power off and they retract fully, then it could also be the down micro-switch adjustment which can be done from the top (100 series).
  4. I saw a picture of a simple design on Controller (see pic). Does anyone have a set or knows where to buy it from? Driver
  5. How high is the RPM at touch down? Are you already at Idle? At higher RPMs, gyroscopic forces may cause this.
  6. That's a nice arrangement. I also like the 930 on the left side too if it is not very painful $$$.
  7. Thanks for all the info KSMooniac, Aerodon, and ArtVandelay. I have the old fashion panel on the left side with a storm scope. The JPI 700 and Tachometer on the right side could easily be replaced with the JPI 930 with minimum hassle. My old Moritz gauges have held up so far, but I am not sure how much more life is left in them. I think JPI 930 on the right side is probably my best option. Art: Your panel looks great. I am saving my money, but I am sure it was not cheap
  8. I have a JPI 700 on the copilot side. Can I install a 900 or 930 on the left side of copilot panel and use it as primary? Has anyone done this with no issues in ease of using it?
  9. Thanks SkyLand. This was great. By the way, you should change your name to SkyLandSea
  10. I will be there flying from Palo Alto and will not need refueling if I fly LOP
  11. Nicely done captain and thanks for sharing the experience.
  12. I completely agree. The cabin light switch is poorly designed and could easily be turned on by bumping into it. I lost a battery (1) before I made it a part of my final check before locking the door.
  13. I got tired of having to worry about charging my Stratus2, so I bought a Sentry mini and plugged into the aux power. I keep the Stratus in the plane as a backup but have not used it in the past year.
  14. My mechanic used the wiring diagram in the manual, and it is working fine. My sender was functional.
  15. From the album: N2174J

  17. Don Maxwell advises against running the tank dry. He stated that a marginal "O"ring in the fuel selector will allow air to leak into the line and disrupt the fuel flow from the tank with fuel. A couple of gallons in the tank will prevent the leak. Did anyone experience this? Does running the low boost pump solve this potential issue?
  18. Wow... 1990's? I was not born yet. Just kidding-- I was flying then Please see see the updated info and my correction in the post before yours. My take away is to keep it clean and covered. see below from the post: Protecting Tires From Chemicals and Exposure: Tires should be kept clean and free of contaminants such as oil, hydraulic fluids, grease, tar, and degreasing agents which have a deteriorating effect on rubber.
  19. Thanks PT20J. This is very informative. Protecting Tires From Chemicals and Exposure: Tires should be kept clean and free of contaminants such as oil, hydraulic fluids, grease, tar, and degreasing agents which have a deteriorating effect on rubber. Contaminants should be wiped off with denatured alcohol, then the tire should be washed immediately with soap and water and inspected for surface damage such as blistering or softening. When aircraft are serviced, tires should be covered with a waterproof barrier. Tire coatings or dressings: Goodyear adds antioxidants and antiozonants to the sidewall and tread to help prevent premature cracking from ozone and weather exposure. There are many products on the market that are advertised to clean tires and to improve appearance and shine. Since many of these may remove the antioxidants and antiozonants, we do not endorse any of them unless the tires are to be used for display purposes only. Aircraft tires, like other rubber products, are affected to some degree by sunlight and extremes of weather. While weather-checking does not impair performance, it can be reduced by protective covers. These covers (ideally with light color or aluminized surface to reflect sunlight) should be placed over tires when an aircraft is tied down outside. Store tires away from fluorescent lights, electric motors, battery chargers, electric welding equipment and electric generators, since they create ozone which can have a deteriorating effect on rubber.
  20. No. I only have done Armor All on the side walls a few times in the past two years. Sounds like it helps if I do it more frequently covering the whole wheel.
