  1. I have read in other threads, that a slight tweak in the gain setting solves this issue. But in certified aircraft, you cannot do this legally, as the STC specifies a certain gain setting. The experimental guys can tweak this.
  2. Why are you taking the drill out?
  3. Mine is not that dissimilar. But I use the mount with the ball pointing to me with the double jointed arm. https://rammount.com/collections/airplane-components/products/ram-b-121bau https://rammount.com/products/rap-200-2u
  4. What iPad mount is that?
  5. Agreed. The question is what data rates do we need. Or what will be usable. Personally, I am not looking at streaming movies while flying.
  6. How do you connect the two short extensions together?
  7. The problem with some of the marine systems are they use geosync sats. Which means more precise aiming and more power. That is why something StarLink based might work better. LEO sats mean they are closer. Lots of them mean less critical aiming.
  8. Very possibly.
  9. The problem I had going over the top it, I rotated the clamp a bit to put the iPad closer to the right upright, and with the short extension, both ends have to more though the same plane. So the iPad (Mini in my case) can't lay flat, it angles.
  10. https://www.inogenaviator.com/products
  11. AFAIK the switch from vacuum to electric speed brakes is removed all the vac parts. Installing the electric speed brake capsules and running wires. Mine were done after the last paint job and there is no visible indication of modifications around the actual units. Precise Flight states the electric speed brakes are 9 pounds. I suspect the vac ones, even without the vac pump, are more. You have the bellows and the linkage.
  12. The thing I found most useful is the articulated arm. https://rammount.com/collections/socket-arms-b-size/products/rap-b-200-2u With this, I run the arm under the yoke, and then tilt the top away, so when I look down, I am viewing the screen at 90 degrees. I will get a picture later.
  13. The problem is, look at the antennas they show for that level of service. The small units for aircraft use are VERY low data rates. Not sufficient to do most any internet based access. More like texting only.
  14. I already checked there, to try to figure out how the hour meter in the plane worked to record time. It is driven off the tach at a rate proportional to the RPM. But even that was hard to find. The actual RPM for 1 hour tach = 1 hour actual is not in my POH
  15. To REALLY learn about running LOP, take the APS seminar. That is from the horse's mouth on LOP operation. Much of what you read posted is 3rd and 4th hand. And like anything, the more people it passes through, the more garbled it gets. https://www.advancedpilot.com/
  16. I went back and read the whole thing. He still doesn't prove a step. He just points out that at high altitudes it helps to accelerate by climbing a bit higher and then diving to get to the cruise speed. The same thing can be done by leaving climb power on, leveling off and letting the airplane accelerate. MANY other people have done actual comparison tests that show there is no step, but that it can take a while to accelerate to your final cruise speed. His scientific method is lacking. We did this and this happened. Without testing other ways to accomplish the same thing. There is a corner situation where the power available is so low that climb power and cruise power are the same. But that only occurs near the service ceiling. The U2 at 80,000 feet is getting into this area. Plus the "coffin corner" were the stall speed and Vne are very close.
  17. I will evaporate over time, even through the cork. So drink it.
  18. IIRC, an Imogen will supply two people.
  19. Do you have a link to numbers? I was looking just a couple of months ago
  20. The number for the TSIO-360 seems to be 13.7
  21. I looked at the Iridium product for aviation, but the data rate was slower than dial up modems.
  22. Did you look at the number on his chart? Do you think you would notice being 60 knots or so slow???? What he is saying is correct. But it is NOT "the Step." The Step is a few knots.
  23. The "conversion" of the speed brakes to electric is really just replacing them with the electric ones. So costly. Luckily my plane was done before I bought it. I did not know until looking through the paperwork and found the STC for the electric speed brakes.
  24. Discussed on page 2 of this thread. Yes, hemoglobin has a high affinity for CO than O2. Reduce the O2 and it makes things worse.
