Gunnar, Your info is priceless ;-) Thanks, This will be my next project. Carl ... From: cirrusn22ff To: StandardCirrus@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 01,...
Dear friends, After a long, long search for amoung a thousand options of gliders, I finaly choose my. It seems to me that the Std. Cirrus is a very good ...
I got this today from a friend. Maybe you know someone in the US that might be interested. Jim Hendrix ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... A more important question is why would a Brazillian want to buy a glider from an Argentinian? (This is a joke you'll only get if you've worked with...
I recently tried to buy some control fitting safety pins for the L'Hotellier fittings in my Standard Cirrus. I have the older style rotating cam fittings ...
Hello all Looking to replace my rather worn joystick with a new one in the UK... any leads as to where I might find a source? Would like to have climb/cruise...
Hi Greg, I have the rotating cams too. I bought pins from Lowe's (IIRC), that measure 1.5" length, about 0.5" wide in the closed position, with wire that...
I found that a mountain bike handlebar grip works well with a couple of layers of tape to pad the steel tube. I have 3 switches on the stick. Matt ... From:...
Howdy, I was curious to how some of you have your battery systems setup. Any Ideas on wiring. Presently I have two 12v 7.0AH SLA batteries. One battery powers...
I have 2 batteries with a common switched earth (master switch in panel). Each instrument is then connected to a 3 position switch (off, B1, B2), with a fuse...
Carl, From all I've heard and read - it is not a good idea to put the radio and avionics on the same battery. The radio has a large current draw when the mike...
Hmm.... that is interesting... I have been having problems with my radio becoming distorted quite early into flights, but fine at the beginning of the day. I...
by using 2 batteries...and an A-B switch, you are giving up useable voltage. Look at it this way, you run 2 smaller batteries.....they go down quickly, get to...
Thanks Matthew, Jeff, Nick, Tim. My idea was along the lines of what Tim is talking about. In my cave diving days we used the same 12v 7amp batteries that we...
I always suggest a FUSE at the battery........contrary to what many think, a fuse does not protect your equipment.....it protects your battery and wiring...a...
In case you know of anyone looking... 1982 Standard Cirrus G81. ~600hrs. Microair, Cambridge elec, EW Model D logger, ELT, Schroeder trailer, full tow-out...
Just caught up with this thread. I have a very small voltage regulator in circuit, which gives me a steady 13 volts whatever the load on the battery. I monitor...
Steve sounds a good setup, but what happens to the voltage to the instruments when the real battery voltage drops below 13 volts? My battery is quite new but...
... I think he is using a "boost" switching regulator which can keep the output at (say) 13v even when the battery voltage has dropped to 10.5v or so. Modern...
Can we get the design or the source of the regulator? It sounds like a great device to have. Greg Foster Std Cirrus No. 206 ... Just caught up with this...
Yep, works a dream. Just got the details from my electronics engineer pal who rigged the whole new wiring up, thanks Russ Tollerfield!: It’s a TRACO DC-DC...
I just re-installed my Cirrus'main wheel after getting the brake redone. The tire (which has not changed) now rubs the brake "locating arm" (not sure what it...
... Jens, Which type of wheel does your ship use ? If it is the 4" Lilliput, the clearance is not great according to the drawing. Has the "Bremsschild" become...
Jens, In military service, I learned how to disassemble, clean, lubricate, and reassemble the M-1, M-14, AR-15, M-16, and Colt 45 in the dark. After 7 years...
Thank you for your input. I have the Lilliput and the clearance has never been great. I only had time for the re-install and did not have time to do a...
Thanks. I tried re-arranging the bushings until I realized that the distance between the rod and tire should be fixed as the rod is attached to the hub. As a...
The locating arm for the 5" and 4" wheels are different, in case you are changing wheel sizes as I did, that is easy to overlook. Just so we are on the same...
I have the Tost tire and it has always been a close fit. That's why I noted the air pressure in my original post. The only change I have made is to have the...
Several interesting ideas on this topic so far, but some conflicting ideas. I have been discussing these various ideas over the weekend with several gliding...
