Ian, Thanks for the photo; the device looks nice and simple. Can you give me some idea of measurements and what you made it from? Better yet, can I pay you do make one for me?

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 Ian McPhee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to the Dimona Owners Group mailing list.
