Suggestion on storage... use the new solid state drives for whatever OS you
use. Fast, but more important, no issues with vibration or altitude. Hard
disks need air preasure inside the box to keep the heads flying above the
disk surface. They do vent.
Supertalent has a SATA 128GB solid state drive.... as does MTron and Samsung

  Hi Joe-

  Can you give me that particulars on your PC and monitor program?- I have a
7" touchscreen installed, but have not found a suitable computer- would
prefer to find one with solid state memory- not sure what you have used..

  Hi Bill,

  Welcome.  Project here is a 173 RG with 20B rotary engine, PC/Touch Screen
monitoring, AHRS, moving map etc.  Am looking towards first flight in spring
and hoping to be operational over the summer.  Located in SC.  One of our
routine trips will be to Anderson to see our grandson.



  Joe

    Hi All,



    I'm Bill Walker and a XL-5 RG builder here in Indy. Here are my airplane
specifics:  4 yrs into the build, Performance Engines IO-550 with equal
length ceramic coated headers and 2 collectors, Aerotronics panel, all
electric with dual alternators, and dual PC-680 batteries. The airframe is
structurally done, the engine is in, the underside is in final primer and
the gear is in final paint. The wiring is just now being completed. I am
ready to install a custom designed PreOiler this week, and the pitot system
by the end of the year. I hope to have it in the air by late summer next
year.



    I've made lots of changes to the kit from the control system to the seat
design.  I'll post some pics soon.



    Anyone interested in an easy little change that could mean a lot: Dip
the output shaft of the Aileron Trim copier motor into Plastidip tool
coating material for about three or four coatings. Now, add a fourth wrap of
the trim string and you will have a system with much better "stiction", but
will still slip when at the ends of system travel are achieved.



    If anyone has already posted this, I apologize for not going throughout
the archives.
