| Description: | The pilots of these two trainers walked away from a midair collision that occurred while both planes were on final for touch-and-goes. In what has to be one of the most unique landings ever accomplished, after colliding at an altitude of about 200 feet the two planes became interlocked, but proceeded to a safe landing at Plant City Municipal Airport. The planes involved were a Piper PA-28 Cadet and a Cessna 152. This accident demonstrates the blind spots that exist on low and high wing airplanes, this accident might not have happened if the Cessna was on top. ...Or if they were following uncontrolled airport radio procedures <g>. | ||

| Image Name: | Bearing Plate Spacers Installed | Category | Construction - Landing Gear Retracts |
| Plane: | Glasair Super II | ||
| Description: | Bearing plate spacers installed. The right wing took a 1/8" spacer on the forward bearing plate and nearly 1/4" spacer on the aft bearing plate. The left wing took no spacer on the aft bearing plate and on the forward bearing plate it took just under 3/8" spacer. I guess the gear boxes on the JumpStart wing are not glued in with great precision. | ||

| Image Name: | Brake Master Cylinder Attach Links | Category | Construction - Control Systems |
| Plane: | Glasair Super II | ||
| Description: | Drawing of the brake master cylinder attach links I made for my plane, they are a bit longer than what is called out in the manual, this will allow me to get them further away from the rudder pedal tubes so they dont hit it. This will also increase the amount of brake applied per amount of pedal push, great for guys with short legs or if you just want more effective brakes. Builder: Allen Rockwell | ||

| Image Name: | Electric Elevator Trim Motor | Category | Construction - Control Systems |
| Plane: | Glasair | ||
| Description: | Here's a photo of my electric elevator trim setup. I added it to the S-H Standard Manual trim box, since I hate electric-only trim. This setup allows me to manually trim, in addition to electrically trimming. The motor has an internal gearbox that gives a LOT of torque and about 90RPM at 12 V. This is connected via a VCR drive Belt and a couple of pulleys to slow it down and allow the belt to slip when manually trimming. Through judicious adjustment of the tension, I can trim both manually and electrically. I know I may choose later (if it turns out to be still too fast when I fly) to slow the electric motor down further with a resistor, but that shouldn't be a problem. I created a simple electric circuit to reverse the operation to allow the use of two momentary contact SPST switches for up and down trim. (The same circuit is duplicated for use with my MAC S-9 servo for aileron trim, so I can use the simple pushbutton switches in their stick grip.) | ||

| Image Name: | Flap Trailing Edge Jig | Category | Construction - Wing |
| Plane: | Glasair | ||
| Description: | This drawing is intended to show the method I used to construct a rigid, straight T/E board. The T/E board is made of 3/4" plywood, about 6" deep, with a small, straight fabricated wood straight edge (that I used for keeping the upper wing skin T/E straight when closing) attached to prevent bowing. The T/E board is spliced to get the length required. (Make it long enough for the extended tip if you are building that option.) The angle is 2 X 2 X 3/16, and it is attached with small bolts. I pulled a straight wire to ensure that it would be perfectly straight. The wing table extensions - 3 each - are attached to the table legs, and are braced so they don't move span wise. They are made from the corners of the 3/4" plywood sheets that I cut wing wheels from, as are the supports. The T/E board will tilt down if you make the "X" and "Y" dimensions consistent at the three table extensions. You will need it to tilt out of the way. The aluminum angle is aligned with the aft edge set to the trailing edge position, and tilted so that the upper side is aligned with the T/E of the wing lower panel flap cut-out. To align the T/E board, locate the aileron / flap T/E at the tip and near the wing root. Shim and clamp the T/E board on the support until the aft edge of the angle just touches and a straight edge clamped to the angle aligns with the lower wing panel T/E. Once everything is in place, cut corner blocks and screw them to the T/E board and the support. Don't forget to install a couple of stop blocks. The 1/2" plywood is optional, but my guess is that it made it easier for me to build the flap and aileron in alignment with the wing. Of course, in theory, you could bond the flaps closed on a flat work table and everything would fit. In theory. Cutouts around the hinges are necessary. Byron J. Covey | ||

| Description: | Garmin GMA 340 Audio Panel - The GMA 340 features innovative LED-illuminated push button controls that allow audio selection of both NAV and Comm audio. Large buttons activate the Comm microphone and audios for up to three Comm transceivers to simplify cockpit workload. Another feature of the GMA 340 is the Split Comm, which allows the pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2. MASQTM processing reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs. Comm transmit indication is also provided. Speaker selection is available to monitor the aircraft radios or to make PA announcements. There are two unswitched inputs for telephone ringers, altitude alert warnings, or other warning tones. In addition, the GMA 340 includes a six-place VOX intercom with three selectable modes of isolation, dual stereo music inputs, and independent pilot, co-pilot, and passenger volume control. Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken. Special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry enhances cockpit communications. Also standard is the three-light Marker Beacon Receiver/Indicator with high/low sensitivity selection and SmartMuteTM marker audio muting. | ||

| Description: | The GARMIN GNS 530 represents the single biggest idea in integrated avionics in years. Traditionally, it would take a host of components to provide the capabilities represented in this one sophisticated box. It is a WAAS upgradeable IFR GPS, com, VOR, LOC and glide-slope with color moving map all rolled into one. A TSO'd VHF comm offers a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 3040 channel configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (which can be updated with front-loading data cards) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, SIDs/STARs and SUA information. The GNS 530 makes practical use of this information with features like intelligent frequency nomination. The brilliant colors of the GNS 530's 5" display make the pilot-critical information easy to read and interpret. It's especially true of the 530's basemap. You enjoy enhanced situational awareness by seeing your position relative to cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines. But even more important, the appropriate use of color separates land data, terminal areas, route, and approach information for easy pilot scanning and reduced pilot workload. Simply put, the GNS 530 incorporates advanced procedure types usually found only in high-end FMS systems. The GNS 530's intuitive software and logical layout prove that this is a system built for pilots, by pilots. So much information. So easy to use. The GNS 530. It'll change the way you look at avionics. | ||

| Image Name: | Hyd Actuator Cooling Shroud | Category | Construction - Landing Gear Retracts |
| Plane: | Glasair Super II | ||
| Description: | Neal Garvins Hyd Actuator Cooling Shroud We had problems with the cylinder getting very hot (to hot to hold your hand against) due to its proximity to the exhaust collector pipes. The heat causes the Aeroquip 303 rubber hoses to harden and then start leaking out the fitting inner nipple. Our first set of hoses only lasted 120 hours. I wiggled them one day to check their security and they immediately started to drip. The heat in the cylinder conducts through the hydraulic fluid and heats the hoses from the inside. The excess heat also causes premature failure of the hydraulic cylinder quad seals. We had to rebuild the nose gear cylinder 3 times (replaced quad seal only) before putting the cooling shroud on. It hasn't been a problem for the last 450 hours. The shroud is made of thin wall 6061-T6 aluminum tubing (available from ACS, Wicks etc). The tubing fits nicely over the ends of the hydraulic cylinder with about .010" clearance. I don't have the dimensions or wall thickness handy. Remember, the center of the hydraulic actuator is smaller diameter than the ends so there is an air space for the cooling air to flow around the cylinder. A short piece of 3/4" tube is welded on the top for the scat tube. I drilled a 1/2" diam hole through the main tube to let in the cooling air. Small air exit holes are drilled near each end - slightly in from the large diam ends of the hydraulic cylinder. Only a small amount of airflow is required. The scat tube is Tee'd into the 1" scat going to the fuel filter shroud using 1x1x3/4 copper plumbing Tee. The front-top end of the shroud has a hole drilled in it for the 45 degree nipple to go through. The aft top has a slot cut in the tube to allow the shroud to be slid on the cylinder without removing the aft fitting. Only the front fitting and front attach bolt need to be removed to install the shroud over the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic fittings hold the shroud from moving on the cylinder. I used silicone under each end of the shroud (between the shroud tube and the hydraulic cylinder body) to hold it from rattling. Also note the angle cut on the bottom front of the shroud tube to match the angled hydraulic cylinder body. Without this, the gear trunuion tube will hit when the gear is retracted. There is also a relieved area on the aft right (starboard) side to clear the engine mount tube. There is only about 1/16" clearance in this area. Since putting this shroud on and putting the firesleeve over the hoses, the cylinder stays cooler and the hoses haven't started leaking. I plan on replacing the two nose gear 303 hoses with StratoFlex 124J hoses (have molded on silicone rubber fire sleeve) at the first sign of a leak. To anyone building a IIS-RG, I recommend using the Stratoflex 124J (Teflon lined, SS braided with integral firesleeve) on the nose gear actuator from the start. They will last indefinitely. The 303 hoses will be leakers as several other RG builders also experienced. | ||
| Image Name: | Hyd Actuator Cooling Shroud | Category | Construction - Landing Gear Retracts |
| Plane: | Glasair Super II | ||
| Description: | Neal Garvins Hyd Actuator Cooling Shroud We had problems with the cylinder getting very hot (to hot to hold your hand against) due to its proximity to the exhaust collector pipes. The heat causes the Aeroquip 303 rubber hoses to harden and then start leaking out the fitting inner nipple. Our first set of hoses only lasted 120 hours. I wiggled them one day to check their security and they immediately started to drip. The heat in the cylinder conducts through the hydraulic fluid and heats the hoses from the inside. The excess heat also causes premature failure of the hydraulic cylinder quad seals. We had to rebuild the nose gear cylinder 3 times (replaced quad seal only) before putting the cooling shroud on. It hasn't been a problem for the last 450 hours. The shroud is made of thin wall 6061-T6 aluminum tubing (available from ACS, Wicks etc). The tubing fits nicely over the ends of the hydraulic cylinder with about .010" clearance. I don't have the dimensions or wall thickness handy. Remember, the center of the hydraulic actuator is smaller diameter than the ends so there is an air space for the cooling air to flow around the cylinder. A short piece of 3/4" tube is welded on the top for the scat tube. I drilled a 1/2" diam hole through the main tube to let in the cooling air. Small air exit holes are drilled near each end - slightly in from the large diam ends of the hydraulic cylinder. Only a small amount of airflow is required. The scat tube is Tee'd into the 1" scat going to the fuel filter shroud using 1x1x3/4 copper plumbing Tee. The front-top end of the shroud has a hole drilled in it for the 45 degree nipple to go through. The aft top has a slot cut in the tube to allow the shroud to be slid on the cylinder without removing the aft fitting. Only the front fitting and front attach bolt need to be removed to install the shroud over the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic fittings hold the shroud from moving on the cylinder. I used silicone under each end of the shroud (between the shroud tube and the hydraulic cylinder body) to hold it from rattling. Also note the angle cut on the bottom front of the shroud tube to match the angled hydraulic cylinder body. Without this, the gear trunuion tube will hit when the gear is retracted. There is also a relieved area on the aft right (starboard) side to clear the engine mount tube. There is only about 1/16" clearance in this area.
