    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.
  3. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    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"?
  6. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    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
  16. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    Confucius say "It is better to keep mouth shut, and have whole world believe you dumb, than open same, and remove all doubt." The air force went to considerable effort and expense in 1974-1975 to keep Cadmium coated tools away from their brand new Titanium F15's that I am inclined to suspect reason and cause. Obviously your advanced degree in Metallurgy allows you to make snide comments, especially to new members trying to share their experience. Did you by chance serve in uniform? If so When? Where? and in what capacity?
  17. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    Is speedbrake use on powered aircraft that different than in gliders?
  18. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    Is anyone on this thread glider rated?
  19. Pissed'Ole-Pete
    A slightly off topic reply... I was in the Air Force (1st TFTS) when the F15 (all Ti) became operational. It seems Titanium reacts with Cadmium. We had to have ALL our tools certified "Cadmium Free" before we could go near the flight-line. Apparently there is a nasty corrosive reaction occurs on the Titanium when marred with Cadmium. Would all mechanics wish to replace all cadmium coated/containing tools in their shops?
