The LX has four ports (five including the vario display connection) labelled: 1. Power (wired to battery main switch) 2. Hold (wired to flip switch. No idea what it does!) 3. DataComm (a previous owner had "hot wired" two of its leads into a Garmin LX12 cable. No Garmin now fitted) 4. Meter ( RJ 12 6 pin phone type port. Not connected.) The LX presumably has a built in GPS, but needs an aerial. The LX is not finding a GPS fix, as there is no aerial. I assume the Garmin had been used to give the LX data via the DataComm hot wires. Now, with no Garmin, I assume the Flarm GPS aerial could do the job. Question, how to wire it all up. Must be simple for anyone other than an electronic imbecile like myself. here's another Not an e-glider but a fossil burning, screaming jet engine, glider looking but short winged-- https://www.desertaerospace.com/extreme-light-jet--xlj- That doesn't even rise to the level of a concept - more like wishful thinking. Tom Which does nothing to answer the original poster's question. Shame on you! Quite simply, LX5000 and Flarm cannot exchange Spatial Data. Both the LX5000 and Flarm are IGC Flight Recorders and as such can only receiver Spatial Data via the antenna. The dataports can transfer Task Declarations (prior to Take-Off). They may also output NMEA data, but not receive it. The LX5000 can control a suitable Radio via a Radio Bridge. Waypoint and similar files can be received via the dataport. IGC files can be downloaded. Dataports have their uses, but receiving Spatial Data is not one of them. What the poster wants to do is not possible. Tim. |

Fuel fo ASK 14 motorglider
Just bought an ASK 14 motorglider and reading the flight manual
etc. The fuel required is noted as octane 80 normal gasoline mixed with two stroke oil at a ratio of 20/1. The chap that owned it before me ran it on normal unleaded with shell vsx at a ration of 30/1. I’m sure this is ok but I wanted to see what anyone else currently uses? Thanks G |

Thanks G The oil to gas ratio is function of oil type and not fundamental to a 2 stroke engine design. The 20:1 ratio sounds like conventional oil and not synthetic. Most pure synthetics are 50:1. A down side to conventional oil is they burn very dirty with lots carbon buildup in the cylinder, ports and are very prone to fouling the plug Synthetics burn much cleaner though not perfect. Buzz |

possible scammer?
Just got an email about my W&W ad for a PowerFlarm Portable
from a "Frank Taylor" in the MN area (area code 507). The grammar is just a little off, he asks what my asking price is even though it is right in the ad, and he wants to pay with a Bank of America certified check. Has anyone else out there been contacted by this guy? I checked the SSA member directory, and there are no matches for a Frank Taylor. I smell a scam. RO |
