Re: Nose landing gear fairing
Those plates are not original installed from the factory. I think a dealer was installing them. They are a great idea though. Not original. I installed them after seeing another member's post about them. They were obtained from: http://www.dillonsaviation.com/ I've been pleased with them. Steve

Re: SureFly Electronic Ignition
Rich: Very interesting. Those inline fuse holders for buss fuses have been in use forever in the automotive application without issues. Of course, very short transients would be more likely to affect a timed electronic system like the SureFly as opposed to the mostly analog electronic systems of my ...

Re: major fuel probe related issue -- need help
What is the concept or method that these work on? In my Vans RV8 they were literally just two plates electrically isolated from the structure. The resistance between the two plates gave a fuel quantity measurement. Lance: Not sure about the system in your RV, but the system in the DA40 is a capacit...

Did you run on single mags at all (either the Slick or SureFly alone)? This would allow you to isolate the issue to either the SureFly or the remaining Slick magneto. I recall that you did some modification of the SlickStart wiring, could this be an issue?
