CAREFULLY.... Just kidding. check with your local EAA chapter. they may have a "hand rivet squeezer", if you cant find one....

Agree, a VERY THIN Film of Silver 5, to much is NOT better than to little of this stuff.

When you do figure out how to get the old one out, you might want to get a bit of "heat sink compound", and apply a THIN layer of it on the new resistor where it mates up with "Bracket" before reinstalling the rivets.

They don't quite piss them away, and certainly not to ground through a 1 ohm resistor. We could get into the theory, but again without wire diagrams It'd be only a guess. Does any one on this forum have wiring diagrams for the TLS? and the link I posted earlier, westforida components, is to one of those resistors for $ 3.50.

Can you run that Sirrus at an engine speed other than 2700 rpm with an MP over 27"?

Doesn't the "M" in "MSL" stand for "mean"? An arithmetically computed value of a 'midpoint' in a dynamic system?

The "can" in the picture of 'where the wire went' is a photo of a relay (by the printed markings on the side) again without a wiring diagram impossible to determine function.

Are you certain its a diode??? I just checked the part number in your photo, "RH-25 20W" and it comes back as a 20 watt wire wound resistor. appears to be a 1 ohm +/- 1% Its purpose would be as a "fusesistor", a shunt for a meter, gauge, or feedback circuit. Without wiring diagrams it's hard to guess. The bracket it is riveted to is probably a part of the heat sink a 20 watt resistor would require. https://www.westfloridacomponents.com/WW390BPK03/25W+1+ohm+1%26%2337%3B+Power+Wirewound+Resistor+Dale+RH-25.html

But if Sea level is rising... shouldn't field elevation drop?

ooops

So I don't speak emogi....

USAF 1971-1979 They wouldn't let me brake em, I had to fix em instead Son was Army "aviator" if flying RQ 7's counts

My last assignment in the Air Force was with the 35TFW. I was a "Wild Weasel mechanic" the "rockets" are AGM78's (a Navy weapon, adopted for land ops) the "driver" was a "Wild Weasel" He actually looks like a lot of the guys who flew the F105G. I just fixed them back then. They wouldn't let me brake them.

Thanks, I am hearing, "same tool, Different order of magnitude".... I probably have the same amount of flight time in Mooneys as I do in gliders, (which ain't a lot). The Mooney I flew was an exec, and was not fitted with speed brakes

I believe I was being very nice, until a snide comment was made. Then I dropped the "very" but still remained nice. I simply quoted my friend Confucius, I am Pissed'Ole-Pete
