REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 39, Issue 70 - 12 V power outlets

Does anyone have a good source for 12V power outlets for the panel and aft
part of cut down keel? I'd like to install the headset jacks and 2 power
points as they have in the new factory plane.

Thanks for any help.

Mark Riley

Hey Phil,
What's the deal the the symposium tapes that were suppose to be done.

It appears that you don't care about the rest of us that have requested
(multiple times) to do this for you, for what 1-1/2 years now.

What's the deal.?

Did you just want the tapes for yourself? If so, you should not have let
everyone know that they would be available.

I guess we all should not have taken your word on the tapes and just
done another set ourselves "second copy" so that other Velocity folks
could benifit.

Are you going to get these tapes done ? There has been alot of folks
volunteer to do them and you just ignore all of us.

What a way to treat "friends". .....   If this is the way you treat your
friends who need enemies.

Mark your calendar.  It's a done deal.  
 
May 19-21, 2006
 
Location:   Dallas, Texas, McKinney Airport (TKI)
 
Many builders, the factory and other vendor/sponsors will be there.  It
will be a time of great sharing and mutual learning, a true symposium
promising many benefits.  
 
Activities of interest for non-building wives as well.it's going to be a
sweet deal indeed.
 
Get the date on your calendars today.  Greg Poole, book your flight now.
It's a long flight.  Let's all plan on attending. 
 
Watch the Reflector for further posts with full information, including
how to register.

Saw N103MM at South Lake Tahoe today.  I was checking out the early
arrivals to the airshow as I have to leave the morning of the show.

Saw a nice looking XL on the ramp and thought it Looked like Murphree's V.
 Of course the MM in the N number was a good clue.

Mac, looking good, sorry we missed each other..  I think you should have
parked next to the F18's though!!!

Dave,

this sounds like Bob Knukolls recommendation.

Got a wiring diagram?

Hi all,

I am getting nearer to first flight all the time.  I spoke with the DAR and
he asked me how much time has been logged on Velocities with the Lycoming
540 and the Aerocomposite prop?

Rene, do you have 50 hours on it yet?  What engine do you have?  Anybody
else out there who is past the 50 hour mark with this engine and prop
combination?

Thanks for getting back.

Regards,
Terry Miles

Milt,

I don't know.  Ron, do you know?  That cursor thing came from the friend of
mine who is a non-pilot, non-builder type, who spends a lot a time on the
internet.

How do you contact the EZ boys to get on their reflector?

Here is a link to a website that allows you to turn your cursor icon into a
canard.

 

Plus some other nice related stuff  from the Cozy/Long EZ guys
