Probably 5 years ago we bought a Spot X @ OSH. It did not work consistently or well (even sitting on the glare shield) in either our R182, or at altitude in my wife's work Citation. At the end of the year contract, we cancelled, and ate the cost of the unit. Dated info, but possibly...

I didn't take your reply so much negative, as concerned for a fellow aviator's safety, which I appreciate, Tom! I've thought about engineering a HEPA filter for the HRV. It already has an internal MERV8 inside...marginal at best, but abetted somewhat by the MERV13 in the heat pump. The...

Hi Tom..thanks for the article. Many of your comments square with the research I've done. As a philosophical discussion at this point, all agree that VOCs is a 'group' of chemicals from benign to nasty, most likely a mixed grouping in any environment. Logic tends to indicate then, that the...

Agreed, Chip! 90% give or take on the specific unit....but if the air is cleaner inside?...why leave the window 10 percent open? :) I don't pretend to know the answer...thus the question. Jim

Hi, Bob...haven't read the entirety of either of the websites, but been far in enough previously to see that nobody is saying 'This much VOC is too much', or "At 'This much 2.5 PM' it becomes a health problem''. Hoping someone who deals with this stuff every day will have an idea of what is...

A question posed to the amazing diversity of this forum.... About 10 years ago we built a super-tight ICF house (tight to the point we have to crack a window or the clothes dryer isn't able to suck enough air out of the house to dry). We have a HRV of course, and have been running it on low to...

Thanks!!

Turned 73 yesterday....still no daily meds. Passed 50 years of flying this Fall. Married to the love of my life, who makes me cupcakes for my birthday, and also does my BFRs. Have a couple airplanes in a hangar across the runway (that the County is nice enough to maintain for us) from the...

Wish I'd have seen your post earlier, Bill, but thanks! Ran the thing for about an hour and a half yesterday with a milk house heater attached. The 'running' wattage rating on the gen is 1700 watts. I varied the load between 1500 watts of heat, 1300 watts, and just the fan on the milk house...

Funny thing is I thought I had 'read' the manual....duh! Guess I 'scanned' it....missed the part you mentioned, and the part that said, "Do not use a gas oil mix". I use 'rec' non-alcoholic gas in all my small stuff, and everything starts on 2nd or third pull. Thanks guys....just re-affirms...

Wish I could have found the little Honda.....like hen's teeth. This one came empty of oil...

Beats me!....but manufacturer doesn't mention mixing anything in the gas.

^^^^ Help me understand please?

Question for you small engine guys. What would you suggest as a break-in procedure for a new 2kw generator? Manufacturer advice is sadly lacking...as in 'break in the engine with the included 10w30 before switching to synthetic". My thought is to fill the thing up, start it up, and attach a...

I should lose my POA credentials for admitting this, but.... this afternoon we realized we had the former #2 comm (another 196, removed for the GTN650 install 4 years ago) sitting in a box in the hangar. Swapped them out, verified that one works, a log entry and voila! ....fools and children...

Exactly the info I was looking for...thanks asicer! In normal circumstances, we would go with a new navcom, but the avionics guys I talked to don't have the time (or apparently inclination) to do a 'smaller' install right now, let alone troubleshoot. Don't think the unit has probably ever been...

Note the title is fat-fingered....should be KY196...never mind, found how edit the title. Whew! Comm 2 is dying (not transmitting)...probably looking for a drop-in replacement for a KY196 (28v). I see KY96A, KY196, KY196A and other number-jumbles offered used. Could someone into avionics...

X-Plane runs great on Linux.....just sayin'..... Jim

My better half recommends Odyssey at Kissimmee. In fact, she and her co-pilot are headed there in the morning in the R182....Recurrent for her work airplane @ FSI. Even had hangars available as of a couple days ago. Worked out great last year. Jim

Just to pile on..... Yup, just call 'em up and ask for what you want in plain english. We do it fairly often for ''over their house' rides, etc. ATC out of CLE is a great group of folks to work with. Jim
