Turns out I was entering my time I wanted to turn it on, then pressing the SET button, AND also pressing the (digital) ON button for channel one....

My building is metal roofed and sided, and I have the unit attached to an inside wall a couple feet below a window, and the signal is always there so...

I've come to the same conclusion. BUT, it's a consistent discrepancy would be my guess, so I am going to compare it to my wall hung old style...

A handy feature of the SwitcheOn I just figured out: any time I click on the app, the temp in my crane building is displayed off to one side. It...

Yammer or Verner, 2000 or 9000 RPM, ha ha, make up your mind! Or split the difference and get one of the Rotax 916's, that make their power in the...

I received my SwitcheOn unit, and this non techie guy was at first challenged by the set up directions but eventually triumphed, (with prompt help...

I had a flying buddy who did work on cell tower sites, and before they needed to track them cradle to grave, got free batteries from him at scrap...

A bit, not that much really, at least not enough to get rid of only 23 year old panels to buy new ones. Where the rubber really meets the road is not...

If it results in a cruise speed increase, it also means you have (slightly) increased range, better climb, and better glide. Fairing the TE is a...

One of my old hang gliding buddies was a Westinghouse nuclear engineer, and early on in his career he got to go on a nuke sub ride, and briefly met...

NO politics, don't care who pays, it's all out of my control anyways, just some fun eyeball engineering here: I've seen lots of the blades being...

Around here, word is the farmers get 8K a month, and they love it as they still farm and graze the ground. I've done the crane work for several of...

The good designs use tail furling to control rpm in very high winds. The tail rudder is offset from the rotor center, so strong winds turn the rotor...

Worse are the cable braced MET towers, 150' high, unlighted, grey in color. The older ones anyway, I spotted one on a ridgetop I had been flying low...

The large wind farm east of Idaho Falls is getting expanded to the south, nearer to me, on a ridge that are on my "last lap" home that I often fly at...

Just bought a Switch On last night, before seeing this thread, for my crane yard Mack engine coolant heater. Should be lots better than fooling with...

With no wind finally for the first time in several days, I got the RANS S-7S fueled, pushed out of the hangar, got inside, and just as I was...

On my RANS, I went with a half flip up window, it's for my benefit not any passengers. Plus, unlike when I flip up the entire door (which you can do...

I bought two 55 gallon drums of wiper fluid from my local heavy truck parts house, a little over $100.00 each, plus I got to keep the drums. My mid...

My uphill strip (too steep to land downhill) faces a 9200' ridge to the east, right behind. I've learned to NEVER try and land early in the morning,...

There should be a special award for those that have skis, but for whatever reason were still on wheels when going inverted, that would be worser yet.
