Great update brother! Sorry the flush iPad mount didn’t work out but I understand your reasoning for not using it.

Any questions I'd be happy to share. I wish I didn't have to fly in Class B C or D. KRNM is outside the class B, but to get into KMYF a transponder and lots of radio calls are required. We installed a J3 tail spring when I made the ballast weight bracket. The ground handling improved significantly. Are you posting on Instagram? I ran into water hose issues when I bought the plane, so a shop made a custom aluminum 4 core with matched fitting to the engine. Now everything is standard.

With the dpm and ho motor in my sled is around 130 hp
@dcavidflyer30732 жыл бұрын
That is some nice HP, wish we could get that out of them. On the plane they tune them down to around 92hp with pipe. The goal behind it is longevity.

After watching this video, I like your avionics design, unfortunately I fly in Class B, C and D so I have a GTX327 transponder w/Uvionixs ECHO, GTR200B has intercom and Dual G5''s with Aera560 Navigator connected to my HSI for GPS navigation. Analog VDO Tach, Oil, Water, Gearbox temp and voltmeter.

You did it the right way, I am just cheap and don't like to be followed haha. I just fly under the C and D is no issue without one, But that Damn B and the 30nm ring.

I have a 98 summit x,it works well at any altitude, I sled in 10k zone, and I get great mileage with the dpm system .Will the digital performance management system work for airplane applications?
@dcavidflyer30732 жыл бұрын
You know I am not sure about that. When it comes to the engine being on an airplane they tune them down. I have a max RPM of 7000. I would be interested to see if anyone would try that system.

What model hanger is that? Did you build? Buy or rent?
@dcavidflyer30739 ай бұрын
The hangar is a Winkler system out of Canada. I bought it. They have many different designs to fit your needs.

Is that foil on the spark plug caps? Does it help with radio noise?
@dcavidflyer30732 жыл бұрын
No it is not foil, it is a heat shield wrap. I had to run the back set of plug wires between the exhaust and heads so I wanted a little more protection is all.

@@upthere1583 That is a hard one with tons of different things to look at. Are you using shielded lines? If so did you ground one side of the shield to the common ground block? As it always been there or did it come when you might have changed somehting?
