Re: What's with all the geeks on the street at Pearson

It’s a lanyard, does not mean they don’t support the cause. My ALPA days I never wore it as the ALPA lanyards are just crappy. My preference is clips at the end of the lanyard, not a hard plastic loop. I never wear lanyards usually; only the use a metal clip. I hate lanyards. HOWEVER, during these ...

Re: ICAO TC FAA to JAA license

Looking to do the conversion from Canadian ATPL to JAA ATPL. I have an EU passport and meet the JAA ATPL requirements as well as the requirements to be exempt from taking the approved groundschool.

Re: Looking for 3PDT Relay

Hmm, never saw speed controllers like that before. I'm not sure how they'd work as my DC Controller has a throttle input, 5 hall sensor inputs from the motor, and works with my 120 degree phase brushless motor. My bike draws 30 amps max when accelerating. At top speed (40km/h) I draw from 6-13 amps....

Re: Looking for 3PDT Relay

Thanks OFD. Good site! I couldn't seem to find a 3PDT that has a high enough amp rating unfortunately. What I'm looking for is an 11-pin, 3PDT relay with a DC coil (preferably 24VDC) and it has to be 30A or higher. Finding them with higher amps seems to be difficult. The application is for an electr...

Looking for 3PDT Relay

Hello,

This might be a long shot, but I'm looking for a 3PDT Relay rated above 30Amps. Anyone have any info?

Whenever I've hand-spiked a plane with a passenger on board, I tell them beforehand: "If the plane starts to move when I'm not inside, there's a quick way to shut off the engine; just pull this red knob out, like this." I explain to them that it shuts off the fuel to the engine so the engine will st...

Re: Continental Flt 3407 Crash at Buffalo/Niagra Intr'nal

Not a Q400 driver, but the -100 uses lift transducers and the -300 uses AoA vanes. I'm pretty sure the -400 also uses AoA vanes. As for what the A/P does in the approach mode (assuming that's what you mean), it simply follows the command bars of the flight director. On an ILS glide slope, it flies ...

Plugging in our PT6's overnight we'll get +20-30 oil temps showing on the gauges in -40 weather before starting. I've been told our batts are good to -57 (but those are heated as well).
