The best thing about this is how you’ve involved your daughter. Good dad.

I wash it in varsol and stir the varsol well with a neodium magnet on forceps, making sure to run the magnets against the bottom. It seems to get everything ferrous that was in the filter. Usually a bit of very fine ferrous particles like a microscopic fuzz just barely visible on the magnet, or a kind of ferrous mud. I then agitate the varsol and pour it into a black plastic tray, let it settle for a while, then drain off the varsol. Non ferrous particles show up well against the black plastic. Like panning for gold. I usually get random micro speckles.

Is it raining?

Never mind - around 9 minutes in, caption confirms rain

I can’t understand how you do it so easily. I attached two Lycoming to my RV8´s . Holes never aligned, struggle to insert bolts and chose the right order .

Even the Garmin 2.5” of strip length is about the most I would want. Every inch those wires extend outside of the shield is more “antenna” to pick up noise. Ideally, you want the shield of the cable to extend into the metal back shell on the connector.

I love your video and would love to watch more of these aircraft videos!! A little about me, I am currently in A&P school for my A&P license I still have a year left but I want to be ready to take my orals and practical's and study for them. I am very determine and passionate about aviation. That being said do you guys have any advice for me for the future to come?

@n777rv 3 жыл бұрын

Find the local EAA chapter in your area and go to a meeting. Introduce yourself and tell them you are in A&P school and are looking for learning experiences, don't be afraid to ask if anyone needs a helper. Most chapters have many very experienced, long time aviation enthusiasts (pilots and mechanics) who are willing to help the younger generation get off to a good start. Best of luck, hard work pays off!

You're very lucky to work in an area on the aircraft with room like that for the clamps and the driver. If you are in a tight spot, I would recommend using safety wire to hold them together while threading the screw into the holes. Having about a 3 inch loop already clamped in the pliers, then putting it over the clamp and twisting. Hope it helps.

Or you could use a awl and mini vice grips then tie a jam knot with wax string after threading the string through the bolt hole it will hold it closed when vice grips are removed and the bolt will still have enough tolerance with the thin wax string to go through no problem learned that particular trick on a C-130 in the Air Force installing what was a very long screw with several adel clamps and spacers.

I just got my g3x garmin system. I am having problems finding the wiring diagrams for what pin goes where and what wire size. Started mounting the GMU 11 Magnetometer in the wing. Any hints on were to start? Thanks great video.

@n777rv 4 жыл бұрын

Go to Garmin's website and download the G3X installation manual. support.garmin.com/en-US/?partNumber=010-01057-00&tab=manuals Draw a diagram of your system and all components, then start figuring out which boxes need to talk to each other. From there you can start on a detailed schematic using the installation manual (IM) as your guide. The IM tells you what wire to use.

I found this on VANS website. www.vansaircraft.com/downloads/#ElectricalSystemDiagrams I wonder if they have diagrams like this for the other VANS model of aircraft.
