Here is some information that might help your research. If you need a 
transponder this King might be a good way to go.

KR> Cyberdyne mixture meter

2016-08-02 Thread brian.kraut at eamanufacturing.com
I just ordered a stainless steel nut in the correct size from McMaster
Carr, ground the correct radius on the bottom to match the exhaust pipe,
and welded it on.

I don't have one here to measure, but I'm pretty sure that Bosch sensor 
requires a standard 18mm x 1.5mm bung, as shown at

KR> O2 bung for mixture meter

2016-08-02 Thread Wayne
The thread on the O2 sensor is 18mm, the same as a 18mm sparkplug.

KR> ADS-B

2016-08-02 Thread larry howell
One more thing about the upcoming ADS-B system. There is going to be a new set 
of satellites for this system put into orbit. If I understood it correctly I 
believe the satellites are only for our navigation and ADS-B SYSTEM. 
If any of us ever build our own spaceship, we will need a space debris ads-b 
system just to make it to the moon in one piece.

It's not a matter of seeing the big guys vs the small guys.  Most pilots 
needing a transponder upgrade are going to go with mode-S 1090es.  That is what 
all the Dynon units in Experimentals use.  It's more a matter of being able to 
get a more complete and quickly updated picture when you are out of range of an 
ADS-B tower, typically when at low altitude near smaller airports vs only less 
complete traffic picture if out of range of an ADS-B tower, or even if you are 
within range of an ADS-B tower, getting slower traffic updates as you will be 
waiting for the ADS-B tower to rebroadcast vs receiving the traffic updates 
directly plane to plane.

However, it will work either way.  It's only a matter degree as to how well it 
works.

My opinion on the ADSB ?is that having the duel band receiver is nice but not 
really necessary. ?It is ture, you will not see the bigger airplanes and they 
will not see you if you are NOT in range of a ground station. If you are 
receiving a ground ?station everyone will see everyone. ?The only time you will 
be interacting with the big airplanes will be by bigger airports and they will 
have coverage from ground base coverage.If you fly alot in remote areas then 
duel band would be handy.This is what I've learned. ?My opinion might change 
when I start flying my plane.

?There are a lot of ADS-B IN/Out solutions out there, many for under $2K.  Some 
of they key points you want are:

1) Dual channel receiver, although a single channel receiver will work 
acceptably well if you have good reception from a local ADS-B station.  Some of 
you may recall that I kind of beat up on the Dynon guy at the last Gathering 
about their products only using single channel.

2) An easy way to get the pressure altitude and squawk code to your ADS-B out 
unit (for UAT units).  Some have to be hard wired in.  Others pick up the 
transponder squawk and altitude by querying the transponder.  Navworx uses a 
small ring that goes around the transponder antenna and the Skyguard uses a 
small antenna that talks to the transponder.  And many others, like Dynon and 
Garmin, provide the squawk and pressure altitude to the transponder and let the 
transponder transmit it via mode S with extended squitter.

3) Compatibility with your current as well as your future GPS/traffic displays. 
 There is nothing wrong with buying a nice Garmin or Dynon display.  Just be 
aware that once you buy their gear, you are pretty well locked into using their 
gear as they generally don't play well with others.  I like to see generic 
compatibility so I can change vendors without incurring huge expenses.

I find a lot of incorrect and/or misleading advertising with ADS-B gear.  I 
recently emailed a vendor about a Mode-S Extended Squitter transponder that 
provides a traffic display on it's front panel, but also provides a WiFi 
connection to your GPS to provide traffic and weather.  Now I thought that 
would be an awesome solution if I was in need of a transponder.  When I emailed 
the company, it took several iterations back and forth before they finally 
admitted that their ADS-B unit didn't have a high resolution GPS receiver, so 
was essentially non-funtional unless you had a high end Garmin Radio with a 
high resolution GPS to front end it.  That rendered their $3500 ADS-B solution 
useless without a $15,000 front end, but it took me two days of emailing back 
and forth before they would fess up to their configuration.  

There is some good equipment out there as well as some questionable equipment, 
and some others that are willing to sell you something and make it your problem 
to make it work.  Be extra careful when shopping and try to talk to someone 
that knows this stuff and is familiar with that vendor before you buy.

FWIW, I bought a Skyguard TWX unit that meets the FAA standard just over a year 
ago.  It had some teething pains, but overall has performed well.  It is not 
legal for Certificated aircraft, but is good to go in Experimentals for $1525 + 
the cost of a couple of antennas.  The version with the AHRS runs a bit more at 
$1925.  I also hear good reports from those using the Navworx units at a 
similar price.

I have the Open Flight Solutions receiver and it is an awesome piece of
equipment. It does receive dual channels and displays all the high altitude
heavy's. They are also working on an AHRS upgrade as well as ABS-B out
upgrade to their box. I love mine as I am seeing traffic I would have never
seen if I did not have it.
