A Beaver no less :-?

Thanks Web and Mike. Will work on it and post what I find. When I turn the radio off in flight and then back on it comes back with quite a jolt so thinking it might be the alternator but will check...

If the radio static goes away when the alternator is turned off, would the cause be within the alternator or wiring to and from? The charging system works fine.

That video is a hoot

I haven’t had any issues with the bolts coming loose. It is less weight (19-20#) than a metal prop and the nickle leading edge will take beating without showing it (in water at least). 82-46 on an...

I thought I had the noise fixed earlier in the year and the it came back. After further inspection of the com wiring, one had the coating cracked exposing bare wire. Once this was fixed the noise...

Thanks for your input Mike and Wireweinie. I bought this Experimental so I am learning things as I go and electrical is not my strong suit. I checked the ground and the negative from the battery goes...

Will check the solenoid connections.

Doesn’t change with different rpm. I’ll have to try each mag. Didn’t think of doing that. Will also try pulling breakers. Come to think of it, the issue seemed to start after I replaced the master...

I have a KY97A that is also having intermittent static on some frequencies, some frequencies are all static and some clear. It changes throughout the flight. When I turn the alternator off,...

I’ve only owned 2 airplanes, a Skyhawk and the Wag Aero 2+2 I have now. Like the versatility and side by side seating in the Super Cub class plane. The Cessna 180 class also looks desirable. I know...

Having difficulty adding picture from iPad. Will add one tonight.

I bought a plane with the same float fitting installed. Ended up machining a couple of parts to make them work. Not the best picture but all I have right now....

Thanks for the feedback. Will try to work on the rest of it this weekend.

Attached is a pic of the antenna. Reseated the unit in the tray and went for a test flight. Response was 5 by 2 at 15 miles. Will be checking all the connection points next.
