I just want to thank Kirk Hammersmith and Peter
Stiles for their recent help on Lancair IV-P N990Y. They paid me
a surprise visit here in Tehachapi and calibrated the AHARS box.
It is the Crossbow unit and was recently leveled. The techs who
leveled it made a new bracket of aluminum but they used seven steel
AN4 bolts with AN960 washers and AN365 nuts. Not only that but the unit,
mounted on top of the 208 bulkhead, had the SCEET 3" air hose from
the tail fin resting on top of the box, a natural
induction coil made of steel. No wonder the SFS had a hard time
correcting. But correct it did. It took about tem minutes but
it would finally find itself even with those bits of ferrous metal in very close
proximity.
Long story short, I had removed the bad
influences and they calibrated the system. They flew away at about 4:30pm
with just enuf daylight to make Corona, CA, their final
destination.
That kind of service really makes one happy.
These guys are dedicated to their customers' satiafaction.
