The + 12V power lead to my B40 fell out the back of the unit at some point and made contact with ground during its subsequent tour of the area behind the panel. The (?)-amp, 5x20mm fuse in the instrument panel was blown, as well as the 0.25 amp fuse of the same size on the back of the B40. I know...

I have a Filser ATR 500 that can be hard to read under some lighting conditions. I'm not using the display backlight. I'd be grateful if any ATR 500 owner who has tried using the backlight can tell me if its worth disturbing the wiring harness to turn it on and if so, is there a further benefit...

Does anyone know who wrote the vector wind / relative wind software for the Cambridge 302/303 system? I can't seem to get my questions answered by Cambridge. I have some issues with this system that look to me like a software problem. -Evan Ludeman / T8

Dear List, It is time to replace one of the battery packs for my sailplane. I currently use packs consisting of 7 2.5V SLA batteries to make a 14V pack. This has worked very well for me in the past but the AH on these cells is somewhat limited. I would like to ad a transponder and possibly some...

Ok, the thermals have headed south, the wave has not kicked in big time yet, so what do you to with your equipment while waiting for soaring season to kick in again? Why you invite someone from Travel Nevada to go for a ride, of course. And they enjoy it (ever doubt that for a moment?) and post...

All, My wife has a conference to attend in San Francisco between Christmas and New Year's Day and I'm being dragged along as "arm candy." (I learned that term from UH.) Any chance of wave activity within the San Fran area? What about Williams or even over to Minden. Does the wave appear out...

Okay, neither my flight manual nor maintenance manual say what kind of fuses I should be using between the batteries and instruments. The printing on one looks to be T500L250V, which I understand to mean 0.5 amps, slow-blow, 250 Volts. (It's 5x20mm.) I know that to protect my wiring I need...
