I read with smug detachment the discussion about adjusting the toe-in as a result of excessive tire wear, ignoring the squeaking the tires made rolling across...
I was taken off guard, but not completely surprised to read about the demise of D2A. I have a Sport system from them and have talked a number of times to...
Happy New Year to entire ES group. I am getting ready for my first engine run and after putting fuel in both tanks I have no fuel level reading. I have...
I didn't know about D2A until this email. I am really sorry to hear that. Great group of people to work with. Somehow I assumed they will become successful...
Yes, you have the wiring correct. One thing to check if you perchance have an oscilloscope is the waveform of the output. It should be a slightly damped...
One possibility is to take Crossbow up on the offer to update your 425 (I assume you have the experimental 425 and not the certified version, which doesn't...
Hi Gang, Here's the update on the shim placement for camber/toe-in/out. I've attached some pictures that show the shim as it was delivered, after drilling...
Just to clearify the the picture I sent of a plumbob showing the wheels straight up and down, was before installing the shims. Ron Galbraith LNCE - N5ES...
Thank you Gary. Yes, I have oscilloscope and I will check it. By the way, I did the first engine run this morning, I run it for about 15 minutes and it worked...
Greg, I have the same probes and the EDM 900. I believe the guts are identical. Have you programmed in the capacitance readings? If you have it wired ...
Greg, That paint scheme makes it look like is already doing 250 kt +. Very nice. Robert M. Simon ES-P N301ES From: Greg Ratajski Sent: Mon 1/1/2007 5:43 PM ...
Greg, In an earlier post you asked about the correct wiring for the EI probes. I may be wrong, but I think they require 5v, not 12v. Don't remember the p/n...
Guys, if you want to solve the high CHT problem just put a LNC4 cowl on your ES. Brent's ES (N47ES), has the 4 cowl, and the CHT's ranged from 265-289 degrees...
Ron, Just beware that putting a IV-P cowl with the bigger inlets on a normally aspirated ES, while adding cooling, also adds a lot of unneeded drag. I believe...
sheesh... More surprises, I don't know how many more I can take! First D2A, then Aerotronics surprise package and now Rick and Ron have another...... The...
Tim Ong told me that the IV cowl is several knots slower than the ES cowl. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he was even considering an ES cowl on his ...
As my 15 year old twin sons say when things are great "that is off the richter!" Well today my flight was "off the richter". It was probably one of the best...
I'll go along with Skip and Mike on this one - inlets that are "too large" will add drag. And having really cool engine temperatures isn't necessarily a good...
Well, I'm not advocating putting on a LNC4 cowl, and really my post wasn't meant to encourage it, I was just pointing out a rather unusual outcome and that is...
Ron, Just wanted to point out that the outlet blisters on my lower cowl are nowhere near as big as the ones on the IV-P cowl. They came from a Legacy lower...
The IV-P cowl on my TSIO-550-E ES has worked great in unmodified form (with the exception of shortening it to fit the plane) since 2001. No cowl flaps, and I...
I am updating my POH and I have a question about ES glide speed. Old POH says 80 KIAS, but I have seen two new recommendations: 1. 100 KIAS 2. 90 KIAS with 10...
