Hi John,
Interested in your landing gear farings. Sent you an email and a private message to your mailbox on this site. Hope to hear from you when you get a chance.

Did the same and am still interested myself, too.

Having just passed 200 hours on the -12 I decided it was time to come up with an aileron trim. I do not have the auto pilot so I needed to be able to trim the plane for passengers, fuel burn, and when I have a big lunch.

Sorry the pictures turned out black and white.

Actually it is not baby buggy bumper. It is a rubber washer that prevents the flaps
from being raised past the detent. It is disconcerting when the handle snaps into the
detent unexpectedly like it did on one of the early test flights.

Added fuel pump switch so that I can shut off the pump without shutting off the cooling
fans while downloading Dynon data or playing with the avionics. Pulling the fuse not only stops
the fans, but also stops all of the noise. Old forgetful minds need noise to remind them to shut
off the master switch.

It is very bad for the PC680 to be run down.

Very nice Joe.

Added 12vdc power jacks (new shiny one in picture) for the ANR headsets. I will wire
them to be shut off when the avionics are shut off. I will cut the cigarette plugs off
from the headsets and replace them with smaller plugs like these:

I installed a microswitch on top of F-1218 to monitor the flap position. F-1218 is on page 21-04
Purchased this switch: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...MFFmOyeQ%3d%3d
This is a work in progress. When completed, the switch will turn on a one minute PIC12F509 timer.
This will give time to make a landing. If the flaps are still down after one minute, the Dynon will alarm.
Old forgetful minds sometimes forget to raise the flaps, not good if the airspeed exceeds 80 knots.
Below is a picture of the Dynon displaying FLAP.

The Fuel Temp is not operational yet. That is a future project using the
Dynon D-180 GP Thermocouple input (EMS Pins 27 & 28).

Would just ramping the bottom slot a bit do the same thing, it would then slide up into the notch? I intend to ramp my slots so I can just reach for the handle and pull up to deploy flaps with no thumb action reqired.
