Two little ideas that are worth considering as I work on Falke eng install

Scheibe Falke people 30years ago are smart  and  idea is so simple -THe mag
switch is double pole and one side up unearths mag (per usual) and other
side powers up all instruments and alt field - so simple - no relays and
saves power when soaring.  Strange but Diamond/Hoffmann did it much more
complicated and still leave instruments on when soaring (and using many ma
unnecessarly)

Also having Aircraft welder convert all engine pipes to Stainless (some
steel crap).  To do curves we used s/s donuts of steel tube which come from
Bert Flood Imports - the same diameter and tight radius. Welder has often
used them (Rotax Donuts) in VWs and Rotax exhausts

Thirdly enc is a little photo of the Dimona prop change limiter - Flag down
and just pull handle to the plate BUT to feather flick flag up and slowly
pull out handle all the way.  It is so simple and beginners never get it
wrong.  By the way the 50mm U channel at front of prop that the 8mm rods
tighen on cost $348 from old Eric at Aust Air props
