amp/volt meter troublesI have the digital amp/volt meter shown below. The problem is that most of the time when I hit the master it will read 3.4 or maybe 6.2 volts. When I put a regular volt meter across the terminals it (the second meter) will show 12+ volts as it should. Sometimes a "timex" tap will make the meter read right sometimes it wont. Sometimes flipping the switch between amps and volts will make it read right... Any suggestions other than pull it out and take it to an electronics tech.. I am thinking it has to be a loose or dirty connection in the housing.
Is is possible that I could rig a small powder charge to go off so I dont have to bloddy my knuckles (from tapping the hell out of it) inflight to keep it working?

akflyer added a post in a topic I like this site...No one hassles me here.
they would be a little big and heavy for my Avid I think.. I will just go ahead with my plans to build them.. I will make a run of 4 sets for various guys in the area.
My brother found that most ofthe areas we would find open to float flying up here was closed to float flying in OK. He never bothered to put his floats on for the 5 years he lived there. I guess we take for granted the wide open space for flying up here.

Welcome John. If you decide to turn loose of those skis let me know... I am in the market and will be building a set in the next few weeks if I cant find a set already built.
Funny, you moved from here to Oklahoma and brought your kitfox... My Brother moved FROM Oklahoma to here... and dragged his kitfox up here with him..
What size floats do you have? 1220 or 1260? What engine?

the Golden SaloonA guy comes home, drunk out of his mind, and his clothes smell like Budweiser. He loop-legs it through the door and is met by his wife, who
is scowling, figuring he's been out screwing other women.
"Where the hell you been all night?" she demands.
"At this fantastic new saloon," he says. "The Golden Saloon. Everything there is golden."
"Bullshit! There's no such place!" she says.
Guy says, "Sure there is! Joint's got huge golden doors, a golden floor. Hell, even the urinal's gold!"
The wife still doesn't believe his story, and the next day checks the phone book, finding a place across town called the Golden Saloon. She
calls up the place to check her old man's story. "Is this the Golden Saloon?" she asks when the bartender answers the phone.
"Yes it is," bartender answers.
She says: "Do you have huge golden doors?"
He replies: "Sure do."
She asks: "Do you have golden floors?"
He replies: "Most certainly do."
"What about golden urinals?" she says.
There's a long pause, then the woman hears the bartender yelling, "Hey, Duke, I think I got a lead on the guy that pissed in your saxophone last
night!"

Proper dinner mannersThe Polite way
to Pee
During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach
good manners, asked her students the following question: "Michael, if you
were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her
that you have to go to the bathroom?" Michael said, "Just a minute I have to
go pee." The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite.
What about you Sherman, how would you say it?" Sherman said, "I am
sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom I'll be right back." "That's
better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner
table.
And you, little Edward, can you use your brain for once and
show us your good manners?" "I would say: Darling, may I
please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a
very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner."
The teacher fainted...

genie that is hard of hearing....A man walks into a bar with a paper bag.
He sits down and places the bag on the counter.
The bartender walks up and asks what's in the bag.
The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, about 9" high and sets him on the counter.
He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano, setting it on the counter as well.
He reaches into the bag once again and pulls out a tiny piano bench, which he places in front of the piano.
The little man sits down at the piano, and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart!
"Where on earth did you get that?" says the bartender.
The man responds by reaching into the paper bag.
This time he pulls out a magic lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says: "Here. Rub it."
So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there's a gust of smoke and a beautiful genie is standing before him.
"I will grant you one wish... just one wish... each person is only allowed one!"
The bartender gets real excited Without hesitating he says, "I want a million bucks!"
A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar. It is soon followed by another duck, then another.
Pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!
The bartender turns to the man and says, "Y'know, I think your genie's a little deaf. I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks."
"No shit!!" says the man, "Do you really think I asked for a 9 inch pianist?!"

akflyer added a post in a topic Rotax Starters
the Hobbs shows 226.8 hrs, I put probably 20-30 starts on pretending to fly and break in...At first it ripped it over then the RPM just started slowing down till it would just barely turn it over.. I figured the solenoid was bad so I jumped that, then went straight to the starter with a new battery... no help... Quick clean up of the armature and she was good to go.... I am redesigning the box in the firewall so I can pull the starter without having to pull the engine.. I don't know why the hell they did not make that box a bolt on instead to a rivet on to begin with.?

Rotax StartersI had troubles with my stock Rotax starter so I bought a GPL starter so I would have backup in case the battery went dead I could hand start it. The GPL starter will not fit on an Avid without major modifications to the engine mounts. I pulled the rotax starter apart and the armature was real dirty, yet the brushes looked fine and had lots of life left in them... I put a cordless drill on the brush end of starter and spun it up using a piece of emery cloth to clean the armature up. I took out a few shallow pits etc and now she works good as new! For those of you who are having problems I would take the time to pull the starter apart instead of spending 700 bucks on a new one. Any local automotive starter/alternator rebuild house should be able to fix you up with new brushes etc. if you need them. WAYYYYYY better than the rotax prices.
I am also told that a starter off a 2000 sea doo personal water craft will bolt right up and work.. that one lists at 219.00 new.. dealer price is around 145.00.

akflyer added a post in a topic GPL Starter
well shite... YHesterday I pulled my engine to install the GPL starter... it wont fit. I would have to move the engine mount and cowling forward about 4" for it to just bolt on, or cut he firewall and engine mounts and re-design the fuselage mounts. I guess I will sell the GPL starter and take a raping for a new rotax starter....and hope to hell the battery never goes dead when I am out i nthe middle of nowhere... the price I think I am willing to pay for having the clutch on the prop...
anyone want a good deal on a new GPL starter

I dont want to start an us against them, but holy shit.... not only is it the blind leading the blind, the sun ofa guns want to tell each other neither one is blind even when they are tripping over each others canes.
Steve at least you can feel a bit vindicated by Pauls statement, and I must commend Paul for stepping up. Takes a real man to admit when he was wrong, especially in that crowd.
I just cant see why someone who was a ditch digger or taxi driver all his life would want to argue the friggin FAA shit with someone who is a "proffesional" that deals with the regs every day? Just to go one step further, I do beleive you had to pass a written test to show
1 your competence and
2 your powers of comprehension
I take these same tests but on a different subject matter, however, being able to interpret what you read is all that matters...
