Get the colors synched up in a pattern and this could be fun! Web

Has nothing to do with being 'locked in'. A flashing white light will be noticed from a longer distance than other colors. If you are interested...

As for the color of lights, you need to read CAR 3, FAR 23, and FAR 91. Web

There is some science behind 'anti collision' or 'recognition' lights. Mainly, a light in motion is easier for the human eye to find than a...

Clean and dry with the silicone ones. If you use cork or paper gaskets, they need to be glued to the valve cover with 3M 1300 before installation....

Check for continuity from the ground tab on the switch to the case of each mag. Shielded P-leads? What type of terminals at the mags? Any type of...

Go to sections 32, 33, and 34, in the installation manual. It explains the 'K factor' for the fuel flow sensor and how to check/adjust it to match...

Page four specifically states that you need an Alcor system tester to check calibration for CHT. Also says that there is no in flight calibration for...

Ain't progress grand! Web

Cool. Let us know what you find. Web

Brings me back to my point about fixing the source of the noise. Web

Noise on some freqs but not on others or worse on some, is a fairly common complaint. Electrical signals spill over onto other frequencies when they...

I disagree with using filters. Magnetos, alternators, etc, in good working condition won't make enough noise to warrant filters. If an item is...

Yes. On a normal (for airplanes) key switch, all tabs are isolated from the case, and each other. Web

That strap, soldered to the engine mount works well when everything else is in a perfect state. The problems come from crusty attach point at the...

Basic circuitry: A ground path is the path current (measured in amps) takes to return to the source that produced that current. Since a magneto...

nope Web

The only thing that short ground wire does is window dressing. There is no electrical need for it. Wire it as per that pic but do not connect it to...

Mojo The best way to wire p-leads is to connect the ground tab of the switch ONLY to the case of each mag. NEVER to the airframe. I like using...

The power going through the p-leads is so small it's hard to measure. They only supply a signal to the tach, they do not power the it. And since the...

Just a thought; did you verify that the p-leads actually connect to the correct mag? Left p-lead to left mag to 'left' tabs on switch, etc? Web

I assume that you mean the leakage checker. Similar to a megger. It's connected to the center conductor and shield. A high voltage is then placed on...

Does the noise go away when you run on right mag only? Is the noise continuous or only present at certain RPM's? Web

Thanks for chiming in Kathy! Web

That's even easier. Power and ground and the CAN bus wires only. Web

Alex Here is the diagram for the GMU11 data and CAN bus connections. Just be aware that it does not show power and ground here. Web

Check that the CAN bus wires are pinned correctly. Nothing will talk if they aren't hooked up right. Then go through the configuration pages. Not...

The farther out in the wing, the less ferrous metal is present. Web
