Buying maps as maptrax has closed it's door , can we buy single digital maps

 

Thanks

 

Tony

 

 

Hi where can I get maps as maptrax is no longer running

 

Thanks

 

 

No more Maptrax as they have closed down anyone know how to get digital maps without scanning

 

Thanks guys

We thank you for you patronage over the last 5 years.

 

 

Horsefeathers thanks for the

 

SE Qld ALA waypoints do you have NSW? thanks again

 

 

 

Thanks Startibartfast

 

I will give that a try one day when the rain goes away 2012,2013 who knows?

 

VGA Pocket PC's running in "true VGA" mode where the toolbars and dialogs appear too small. If you put a file called hires.dat in the folder where OziExplorer is installed

 

Note the full resolution of the device is still used but dialogs, fonts, symbols etc are doubled in size. When designing new screens in the "Screen Designer" you must use half the resolution of your device as the screens are automatically doubled in size in OziExplorerCE.

 

It is important to ensure that the file doesn’t end up named hires.dat.txt – you need to untick the ‘Hide extensions for known file types’ option in the View tab under Tools ? Folder options in Windows Explorer on your Microsoft Computer

 

Thanks again

 

 

OZIexplorer GOTO

 

GO_TO function heads up as you know the list is too small to choose with your finger and you can not use the stylus when flying the answer is two have two of every airstrip which makes it twice as wide ,,, ie you have two lines with the same airport , you can import and add waypoints twice.

The font size etc can not be changed in the screen designer so this is the only way I know to work around, One disadvantage is it will show less waypoints *goto* touch on the lowest goto and then use the up/down arrow.

 

This works with a 5 inch gps ok

 

Any other ideas out there, Thanks

Is your Ozi/tomtom on the sd>>>>Yes?

 

Back up your sd and use a card reader

 

The menu program is on the sd card >>>Yes?

 

On the main screen do you have a settings icon >>>> click through and there is a good chance you will find a port setting change it to something else tomtom will stop working but you should be able to use ozi.

 

like this picture tools >>settings http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/1/7/4/1/5/1/webimg/400237266_o.jpg

 

Another way2 If you want to know your port and Baud go into tom-tom settings and you will see it.

 

Another way 3 You have a sirf gps module this freeware will tell you everything http://w5.nuinternet.com/s660100031/SirfTech.htm

 

You only need a port splitter if need tom-tom and ozi to run http://www.pocketgear.com/au,en,usd/3014961,product-details,Port-Splitter.html?M2DPId=12231

 

Just found this front end for others to run multiple programs http://gpsunlock.net/home/

 

And here is a good idea ask the seller as on there page

 

WINCE 6.0 easily swich to back stage ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Ken

 

Two things you need to know is the Port and the Baud rate>>>>>> the port is the important one you can either tell ozi your port or get it to search.

 

I do not have my unit here so play with it.

 

One previso is only one device can use lets same port at the same time, Two ways around do not let the first navigation device start, and the second is a program that redirect the port

 

do you have a start screen like this

 

tell us what unit you have , web address etc it will be easier

 

oh and a screen shot

 

Bye

 

 

Hi Patrick

 

I have not found any updates, I think anyone with qualifications would be welcomed to share the load and get things moving the open source is such a good idea and with its low drag I can see a few tiny jets installed like the ones on the jet cri cri .

 

Here is another stalled project well the plane it self does not stall that is main feature and a price of $100 for plans , what a great way to get into aviation

and Merry Xmas

 

 

Good call, I will bypass the intercom and see how I go two different brand headsets same result over modulation via the intercom.

 

Can you explain

 

I wont recommend any of the antennas pictured they wont be secure or approved for airbourne use

as the unit came from M Coates.Found this on the net interesting the part 3 and 4 The location of the antenna is of primary importance. When selecting a mounting position, consideration should be given but not limited to the following: (1) Obstruction to signal reception by aircraft or aircraft components.

 

(2) Ignition noise (RF radiation pickup).

 

(3) Vibration.

 

(4) Flutter.

 

(5) Instrument static source interference.

 

Where do recommend is the best place to mount the antenna?

 

Thanks again

 

Tony

 

 

Hi Ralph

 

Just the right man to pick, it is a Savannah so same dog and can receive 50 NM away the real problem is circuits/ close to the airstrip group to air/air to ground and the SWR was done by an Communications guy and passed it as perfect as one can be.

 

No interference problems

 

I think it is this one

 

http://www.mobileone.com.au/antennas/airband/airband.html

 

M124-1 515mm Fibreglass 1/4 wave antenna suitable for all air band applications on a 5/16" fitting

 

 

Also I noticed this next one kinda what I was talking about, as I have very little knowledge on antennas thanks again.

 

 

 

 

The problem poor coverage at times * ie anytime the antenna does have any metal obstructions

 

Aircraft all Aluminum STOL

 

Antenna been checked with swr* all fittings cable has been replaced

 

Radio Yaesu 220 same problem Microair

 

It transmits and receive well when inline

 

The idea keep the whip antenna on top and use the existing rubber ducky underneath or a bent vhf

 

What is needed , what other alternatives

 

Thanks everyone in advance as this is a safety problem

 

:confused:

 

 

here is one that should be about 60hp

 

yamaha virago airplane

 

Your bike, how high does it fly?

 

If I tell you that there is a couple planes which are flying around (or at least were) powered by Yamaha V-Twin engines, does it sound like a Virago with wings to you?

 

I don't really know how many of these cases there are, but at least I'm aware of two.

 

And it seems like the Virago has an engine that provides a valid option at the time of building this “flying grafts”.

 

In 1991 Richard Giles built a replica Nieuport-12, WWI plane. And when it was time to put something on its nose, he chose a XV-1100 built in 1986.

 

Giles said that the selection of that engine was based on several factors, which include his experience with motorcycle engines, light weight of this engine, power, cost, adaptability, and most importantly: reliability.

 

Why a Yamaha V-twin?

 

The engine XV-1100 is very light; moreover, it is made out of aluminum, and the original plane engines were not. Another factor was the existence of a built-in transmission gear box, which allows 5 different reduction ratios to accommodate different propeller speeds according to the flight needs; in other words, this guy built a plane with manual transmission. This plane can stops the propeller without the need of shutting off the engine. And the most relevant answer to the “why” is because...

 

he had a Virago 1100 to be the donor.

 

Among the specs that he mentions is the low rpm that this engine operates (3000 to 7000 rpm), which cover perfectly the plane's needs. Another aspect, (which may be natural for most of us) was the built-in electric system and the pressurized oil circulation that exceeded the requirements for a WWI replica, specially the power improvement (80HP).

 

Probably the main drawback was the carburetor . The Mikunis had to be replaced because these carbs operate by vacuum behind the diaphragms, and a plane needs the fuel to be “blown”. Therefore, he replaced the 2 Mikunis for regular 40mm car carburetors.

 

In October 1993 Giles' replica was reviewed and approved for fly by the FAA (USA).

 

The work done by Giles and his friends transformed his Virago 1100 in the first plane powered by a V-Twin engine.

 

In addition, Butch Witlock also equipped his Nieuport-12 with a Virago. And this plane flies with an acrobatic squadron.

 

We need to take in consideration that this planes have a cruiser speed of 75MPH and a maximum speed of 90MPH.

 

These are not planes where the engine is going to endure a lot of “G” forces. These are very light planes with silk-covered wings.

 

Bottom line, if the FAA was able to approve this engine is evidently because this is a very reliable engine...

 

or they (FAA) are as “crazy” as the builders and pilots.

 

Now you know, some say that the Viragos are not really good, some others disagree.... at least you now have a very important fact....

 

This engine is so reliable that the FAA approved it to be used on an airplane.

Yes Ron the problem is watts amps I kind a take that with a grain of salt or sodium or silicon as it is not the power input but the power output we are looking for all about the efficiency.

 

it looked good, a plug in fix.

even a rotating beacon with a little ? 10 watt incandescent will be more powerful than a fixed flashing 10 watt led due to the concentration of the beam.

 

Seoul Semiconductor, Inc

 

This Led has 4 lights on one chip I have read that you can cut on the back and make it series bringing it close to 12 volts by flashing it using a car flasher ie 50% on %50 you will get more Lux and not burning it out with the charging voltage 13.7.

 

At this time I think 2 X P7 back to back on each side at about 900 lux per led using a car flasher is maybe the simplest way

 

I have a 50 watt halogen l/r without reflector and it is not great , so concentrated power is the go using a relay and capacitor for the flash .

 

The great thing is there are many members who do this for a living and give more ideas

Would be interesting to put module one back on and have jumper leads on see if the extra power can spin the motor fast which should produce more power for the ignition .

 

I also ran two Earth cables from the battery to the Aluminum in two separate spots and the battery terminal one on the top of the post and one in the cutout of the post as I never trusted the idea of dissimilar metal not having some resistance/ corrosion I take it you have the battery behind the Pilot not the original spot in the tail, A guy in Boonah has it in front of the Passengers feet behind the pedals.

 

 

Sounds great Gibbo thanks for the heads up Kwiknav looks good.

 

Had tried Noni before but Ozi has more features and a screen designer for CE

Anyone buying gps ? had tried a 7 inch before but resolution and brightness was poor

 

3 1/2 inch is too small using a touch screen, have a 5 inch ce which is bright and the non touch 9 inch xp eeepc is also bright

 

 

Gibbo, your going to have a lot of friends very shortly. I'd be very interested in a copy when you've completed the data. I'll send you a PM.

Me too

 

I was trying to do the same with GE with a 9 inch eeepc very good screen brightness with a tweak, but had a lot of problems with the tiles/ overlays >>> not enough knowlege.

 

Gibbo do you need people to test this PLEASE? torrent

 

Thanks

The Soft Start Module (SSM) alters the timing on one ignition circuit. It has been found to be highly beneficial on 912ULS engines fitted with a slipper clutch.

 

The real cause of these problems is inadequate batteries and long starter cables resulting in slow cranking speeds. The Soft Start Module helps overcome the problems caused by these short falls.

 

 

 

Yes how safe is this Jeppesen digital maps use 20 year old low res backgounds compared to the USA and only update the overlay which is FREE to them from airservices .

 

We have all ready paid them from our taxes and this is a Safety issue how many people have not the newest Maps? maybe if the local Newsagent sold them.

Subaru EA81 Engine Mounting - Google Search

 

This is a well respected site Look no tubes

 

Motor Mount

 

The mount holds the engine at 1 degree down and 1 degree right which is as per the O-200 plans for this airplane. I found that my EA-81 installation was very sensative to power changes when mounted at zero-zero and decided to follow the O-200 recommendation for this engine.
