Hello to Bob and all the others,
I'm getting close to first flight and just want to take a moment to thank Bob and all the others on this group who have taught me so much about aviation electronics. I embarked on this great adventure in large part because of curiosity and a desire to learn new things. I have been rewarded by this group beyond my hopes. I enjoy this list because it teaches me the principles underlying the simple answers.
I have had a lifetime curiosity about electronics but circumstances have always kept me from pursuing it. Bob's Connection book is a treasure of knowledge. There are too many examples to name, but his discussion in the book about how to make an expanded scale voltmeter, instead of 0 - 14 volts, taught me more about electronics than I had learned in a lifetime of casual reading. I'll probably never make one, but it's no longer a mystery. I find that very satisfying.
Others on the list have generously and patiently taught me about LEDs and how to include them in my instrument panel. Instead of a mysterious source of light, I now have a basic understanding of how they work and how they can be adapted to meet my needs. I even learned enough to teach a friend!
This list is remarkable. So many people so generously helping others is surly an example of the best that people can be. Sure, there's an occasional thorn among the roses, but that's just life. Take the good, ignore the bad.
Thanks so much,
Dennis Johnson
Legacy #257, first flight in February?
