it looks like the 555 timer sets the time base for voltage "stepup coil". Some call this thing a kickback regulator. The cool thing about those is the same circuit can develop any voltage either above or below the supply voltage. it looks like trigger timing is adjustable, but no mention of

Fella last week posted the links to some DIY stuff, I looked em all over. One (IIRC) ran on 12v and had an adjustable frequency. Didja guys see that? I haven't priced a commercial unit but this one looked very do-able. I read the description and schematic, but that was 'then'. It has a 555 timer

Check out the Sonex website and the Yahoo Sonextalk groups. There are very likely about 100 of them flying with Areovees,very happily. There are about another 150 flying with jabiru 3300's and 2200's. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, the Sonex has proven to be extremely popular, and

Hello all, I have had my plans for a few weeks now and I am chewing on some ideas that need to be addressed before I get started with the 88. I really like the idea Mike suggested on his comment page. Mikes thought was to incorporate the dihedral bend for the spars "inside" the fuselage.

KR> Alternative strobes... and lighting

Here's an alternative to making or purchasing expensive strobes. I was looking at these when I almost became a KR owner two years ago. This companies carries a lot of neat light (including light-weight and low profile) options that could be adaptable to aircraft.

They are both basically stock VW engines with big bore kits and use the automotive crank. They date back to the '80's but parts should still be available. The Airovee was used on the Sonari planes. I bought a few parts from them for usen in my KR years ago. The engine mount bolt pattern might be

Not so when charging a cap to oh say 400 or 500 volts from a 12v power supply through a transformer being switched by a transistor. Charge time then depends on the current capacity of the transistor, inductor & rectifier, etc. (assuming no other current controlling factors are present).. Ever

On the KR I owned in South Africa, I did just that: used house alarm strobes, which are extremely cheap and easy to find. The same strobes are also used on industrial machinery as an indicator of the machine condition. The ones I used had a perfect flash rate (1Hz, that is 1 flash per second). I

I was a pro shooter for the nation's longest continuously running news paper and did a lot of research on photo strobes. Mind you this is over 25 years ago, but then the other factor was the duty cycle of the xenon bulb. They had a life cycle in the range of 10K cycles. They are called upon to

The time to charge a capacitor is given by the RC time constant. It is limited by the power rating of the resistor. The inductor is used to limit the current to the flash tube and/or combined into an autotransformer for a final voltage boost before the flash. Triggering is done differently on

I realize this is an effort to save money, but trying to reinvent the wheel (strobe) is a lot of effort. If you want strobes and cheap ones, go to hide away strobes for police and fire. They are cheap, 12 volt and light weight. Problem solved! **Play online games for FREE at

Changing the flash rate may not be easy. often the flash rate is simply the amount of time it takes to charge the capacitor. If you reduce the capacitor size, it will speed up but then there is less energy available for the flash. Changing the charge current (to charge the existing capacitor
