I'd be a little nervous about putting that in an aircraft:
seems like a good way to generate lots of RF hash.


Yeah, I was wondering about that when I saw the $7 12vdc inverter.
But the 1 inch by 12 inch strips are cheap enough to try:

And here's a homebuilder's site that came up:

Yeah. I'd stick a couple of them in the airplane and exercise all of the

The aircraft came out of the paint shop this morning; they're putting the
finishing touches on it this week, and test flying it late this week and
early next week. I'm going to the factory Tuesday to look it over and take
delivery.

Yup. Good thing, too, since I'm planning a long trip home with it that'll
take 20 hours in the air or so.

More like 3 months ago...and time has seemed to drag a bit, too.
