1. Your P-lead shield should be grounded at the magneto end and not at the switch end. Don't remember why, but that is the standard practice. To further muddy the water, some say to ground the

Chris, Just to be clear, the radio is not connected to the airplane? No power connection or headset wiring right? Also I assume you have tried the radio outside the airplane and it works

I am hoping some one can help me.  I am trying to solve a radio problem and am not getting anywhere. This is the story. I have an EAA biplane with hand start  290 Lycoming. I am using a Icom IC-A6

From my experience at less than 6000 DA and less than 1300lbs gross, the T.O. calculations are quite conservative.

Hi All, I have been doing some static thrust testing. I strapped my main gear to two steel stakes, and measured thrust using an electronic livestock hoist scale in line with the strap. I did a

I just flew a friend that had put on some weight. 275lbs now. The temp was 85F and about 85% humidity. My normal flying is done with the wife and gross is around 1000lb. At 1136 lbs the Q200 flew

To answer the question RFI / EMI. Electromagnetic interference is the broader category which include Radio Frequency Interference. When I wrote RFI it was because the interference is known to be

Glad to hear it was a success! Now we'll all be adding ferrite beads. RF can be a challenge with composite planes. Best, IF TriQ200 ~85 hrs

Rick Hole thank you for your help! It worked perfectly with respect to the ferrite beads on the antenna end of the RG400. In the past when I would key the mic the fuel guage needle would peg out.

Transponders are in the 1 GHz (microwave) range. Whether the same ferrite beads will be effective there I can’t predict. It wouldn’t hurt to try it. My guess would be since the transponder is a

Bruce, you will remember me from my years at Velocity. I made and installed countless antennas before retiring. RG-400 is indeed superior and all but eliminates RF radiating from the center

For you builders and flyers hopefully this will help you avoid problems with respect to RMI or RFI even when you think the RG400 coax is bullet proof. My comm coax is run down the right side of the

Hi Guys, I am soliciting checklists that I can edit for my own use. If you have created those over the years and like your version, please post or send me offline. Many thanks. Cheers, Jay

Hey Bruce, Nice to hear from you. Starting to get a lillle warm and humid in Okieville? Probably not much fun flying a Q in those conditions. It’s 98 here (no humidity) in Auburn,Ca today, so

Very good! I did fly this morning, but it was windy, overcast, rough, and challenging. Just what I like. Strange day. Cleared off then t storm, then clear, and just had a t storm move through now.

The nerve of them trying to charge you $5! Good Job, Mike, Bi-plane Q200
