Posa's do not have a float bowl and when throttle is opened fuel is dumped in to the throat and if you do not turn up the rpms as needed you are dumping fuel in and not being able to burn efficiently. Until I went with the right throat(29mm for an 1835 VW) and the right pitch prop(52 x44) I had all kind of trouble. I static at 3100 and full throttle at 3650 and when I open the throttle full I am moving along nicely.

I'm thinking at least 5 minutes, if it hasn't been on= in over a year. They turned off "Selective Availability" (SA) which was a dither= ing that they did to the commercial signal to make it less accurate. Now the accuracy of commercial GPS is as good as Military (I think). SA was orig= inally done to prevent terrorists from using the GPS signal to guide bombs etc, = but now the Military can locally jam the GPS signal, so I suppose it's not an= issue? At any rate I don't think this would impact your GPS90's ability to acq= uire. I'd set it outside in the middle of the backyard for about 30 minutes wit= h the power adapter and see if it can find anything. If you try it while m= oving inside a car, or building it will probably not work. After 30 minutes th= e GPS should have updated it's ephermis[sp?] which is a database of where to expect the satellites, then it won't take so long for subsequent acquires= . GPS signals are line of sight, so you need to be away from tall buildings= . I used to play with my DeLorme GPS, and if it was stuck inside next to the window, the best I could do is acquire 1 or two satelites for a short period. Take it outside, and it worked great. Also, if your GPS90 has an internal battery for this type of stuff, it mi= ght be gone which means that it can't keep track of the current date/time which would force it to do the long search every time. I have a cheap DeLorme GPS ($100) that has this problem. I also have a Garmin GPS190, and didn't use it for a year... my only complaint is that the NiCat battery i= s toas, I'd sure like a Lithium Ion or somthing alternate. 12/13/2001 6:53:36 PM, "Bob Smith" wrote: Hi Gang, remember me?

Apparently the almanac was upgraded and the means by = which it was downloaded from the satellites were altered in the meantime = (this about 12 months ago and separate to the turning off of selective = availability). I was advised by Garmin to reset the unit by turning it = on whilst holding down the CLR key. This cleared out the old almanac and = its format. It then took about 2 hours to reacquire the new version. A = downside was that the action also erased all my stored waypoints. I = think the same method would apply to the GPS 90's.

Then you set RPM for 3000 and figure True Airspeed. Once you get that info. You divide the MPH by the RPM and multiply by 1056. This will give you the Effective Pitch of prop. OR....you could go to Ed Sterba's web site and read his information.

Yesterday I b= rought home a ELT and a Deihl nose wheel with a New tube that Gene had ju= st purchased from Deihl. The tube was mangeled and unuseable but The Fork= and wheel are good. Today I negotiated for his Altimeter, A/S ind., VSI,= Turn coordinator, and Compass. I will also be getting his wings to see i= f I can salvage the Diehl skins. They will need a lot of repair but I thi= nk it is doable. Gene has many more usable parts if anyone is interested.= ESI Subaru engine with PRSU and ellison throttle body. He would like to = sell it with engine instruments and Firewall fwd. Prop is unusable. He al= so has a set of Dan Deihl main gear with matco wheels and double caliper = brakes. If you are interested in any of these things email me off net and= I will foward your email to Gene, so you can negotiate the price. If th= ere are other parts you need let me know and I'll check it out with Gene.= His nose wheel fairing was off at the time of the crash and had just bee= n repainted so is in beautiful condition. =20 Genes only comment about the sholder belts attachments was "It worked for= me, but that may be the the reason my sholders are bruised and sore."

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I've been in NYC for a week training "a major metropoliton police department" in the use of a new anti-terrorist device that I've been helping to develop. Today we were taken to Ground Zero for a visit that defies description. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/wtc/ . It'll take several minutes to load if you're on a regular modem.

Sorry for setting such a bad example for the rest, but I'm hoping I can get away with it this once. I debated whether or not 600 KRnetters would be interested. My guess is that most would.
