Am I missing something? The bolts that are safetied on our strut are hex-head bolts on the front of the strut. The allen head cap screws are not. I believe I...
John, Mine are hex head bolts as well. They are immediately below the schrader valve (about 6"). These are the ones that were loose on my strut. Bryan ... ...
Bryan - Thanks for the info. Now I know what to look for. Bolts that are safetied getting loose is strange - unless they are used like Gary suggested. John...
I'm about to place my OAT sensor and thought I'd do a survey - what's the most common location? What's the best? I'm thinking now to place it on the surface...
Gary, I know this is unconventional, but I stuck mine inside the ram air tube. The temperature reading way off after shutdown as the engine compartment heats...
Bryan, So you recommend removing the safety wire, tightening the bolts, replacing the safety wire with a really tight pull on the safety wire. Correct? Mike...
Mike, My bolts were less than finger tight. I had oil seeping out when the strut moved. (both up and down and twisting). So, I removed the safety tightened...
Originally I had mine inside the l/h wing tip. It didn't work very well. It always indicated 45 degrees or warmer. Because my wiring is already down the...
Gary - We put ours on the outside of the access panel on the left rear of the fuselage and made a small, removeable fairing to cover it. We actually have two...
Gary, I put my sensor on the underside of the left wing just outside the inspection panel for the aileron idler arm. It's out of direct sunlight, far enough...
Gary, I put my RMI encoder sensor on the underside of the left wing just outside the inspection panel for the aileron idler arm. It's out of direct sunlight,...
MessageDon't forget that Tim's reply mentioned there are also two "internal bolts" which could be loosened as a result of exceeding the +/- 40 degree turning...
MessageIndications of the internals screws loosening would be oil draining from inside the shaft. You would continue to have damping until you didn't have...
I placed mine there using the flap tube hole to rout the wires . The OAT is behind the access panel on the wing fairing Eugene Long Lancair Super ES ...

Every time I answer this question, I am wrong - but eventually, the darn thing has to fly ....right?? - So here is what I think. All that is left is final...
I really appreciate all the comments and pictures about OAT locations. I have a GRT instrumentation systems which has a small, flush-mount button-type probe,...
Gary - I've seen these mentioned before. What advantages do they bring to the builder? Where can you get them? What crimper does the pins? Thanks, John ... --...
They are an American company, not German, and build connectors mostly for all sorts of industrial and automotive applications. At Kavlico we have found that...
Gary, I wanted to run my grip wires down the inside of my tubes too (I have Infinity grips), but with the bolt that runs through the middle of them where the...
Gary, I de-pinned all of mine - labeled - and re inserted to the correct pin after going through the control stick. I was hesitant to do this at first - but...

Gary, Depending on how the boots fit on your grips, you could just run it down the outside. Just make sure the boot comes up to the bottom of the grip. I ...
