 |
|
Hi Bill,
Don't get me wrong, tools I've got!!!! I've spent a life in construction
and have TONS of tools. Air tools, hand-held electric, battery powered,
you name it, I've got it. If I don't 'got' it, I'm not likely to get one now.
My wife says wants me to start downsizing, too, "so we can retire".
I have one of those air grinders you mentioned, but I hardly ever use it.
Yes, I have a compressor. Actually, I have 3 shop types. I did recently
sell my 'tow behind' Ingersoll-Rand diesel compressor, tho.
Naw, what I'm looking for at this point is a new A/C rotary tool...
either Dremel, or Ryobi, or possibly another brand that comes highly
recommended.
I would consider a battery rotary tool, but only if it always sat in the charger
(when not in use). That way, it would always be charged up.
I have three hand-held grinders. My 4" Milwaukie, my 4 1/2" Ryobi, and my
industrial model...7" Milwaukie. The little rotary tool I have (the Ryobi) was
for really little intricate stuff. Like the kind of stuff that needs a 1" cutting wheel.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike- I have to re-tool. I have a Ryobi 4 1/2" grinder, and it was a bargain at about $40. But no air compressor. I do have a battery powered Dremel, but only one battery. I'm going to get a 110v one. When I had to stop work I left my air tools with friends at the shop. There are days when I regret it. Besides, when you have the tools, you can always find somebody to use them. I never should have listened to the doctor. I should have just bought a compressor.
do not archive

John,
House completion, odds and ends, freezin' cold shop, and all kinds of other
poor excuses!!! I could turn the heat-pump on in my shop, but I found out that
gets a little expensive.
Add on top of all that, 3 weeks ago today I hurt my upper back while working
on my storm cellar. I can't carry those 100 pound bags of mortar like I used
to. I've had a pinched nerve and nagging headache every day since!! Ya can't
get much done when you're 'uh hurtin'".
By the way, a progress update; I installed my front instrument panel/radio
console a couple of days ago. I had a couple of minor antenna cable issues,
but I got those all resolved today.
Just for s & giggles, I made a little wind tunnel for the pitot system, prior
to carrying the panel over to the shop. (I borrowed my wife's hair dryer,
which surprisingly, worked VERY well. I taped up the 'heat' button, so it
blew only cold air)
Here's what I found out;
The Dynon D10A EFIS and the UMA airspeed indicator were virtually exact
in their respective readings. In fact, it surprised me how much they read the same.
One thing, though. The UMA airspeed indicator was "not as precise". It seemed to lag
about 2-3 mph. This trait did NOT appear to be a safety problem, just
a little annoying that it wasn't as gnat's-ass accurate as the Dynon. The Dynon
was phenomenally sensitive to the slightest change in air pressure. I get the
impression it is accurate to less than 1 mph, whereas I would give the UMA
an accuracy of about 2 mph. Either one of them would be plenty qualified
to be a primary source of airspeed information, it's just that the Dynon
was soooo much more precise!! (What would you expect for the $$?
Remember the "you get what you pay for" adage?)
I was very surprised to find out that they both coincided in their reading so well.
I feel a lot more confident that I have (at least one) excellent, trustworthy
airspeed indicator!! Before my little wind tunnel test, I did not know this!!
For the record, I wasn't trying to establish that either one of the airspeed indicators
was "exact" in their accuracy, but rather, that they, in fact, worked at all!! I do NOT
want to get myself in a situation where I ASSUMED everything will work properly,
just because I want them to!! I'm a firm believer in 'trust, yet verify!!'
I look forward to warmer weather. Can't get much done in this kind of cold temps.
I think I should be able to fire up the engine in a couple of weeks, or so. Now, THAT
should be interesting!!!

Mike W/Kolbers:
The UMA may turn out to be a better ASI than the one you spent all that
money on, the Dynon. I don't know that.
However, the UMA lags, am guessing you mean it does not change indication
instantly, because it has a built in dampner to prevent the needle from
bouncing around at every tiny, minute bit of disturbed air, air pressure,
etc. Without the dampner the needle would probably be a blur.
Just guess, of course.
To me the most important aspect of the ASI is that it will indicate to me
where my stall speed is so I can stay above it.
ASI's are very reliable. Usually alway work well enough to establish stall
speed, unless one forgets to take off the pitot cover, a dirt dauber or
spider takes up residence in the pitot tube, or someone blows into the pitot
tube to see if the ASI really works.
