    Might have a look at the Tecnam my engine came out of. See if I can figure it out from there...

    Funny the things you learn along the way! Thanks for keeping us up to date. Now I just need to find out what the pin-out is on this plug

    I don't see how a fully sealed oil pressure sensor is going to be effected by outside air pressure...
  5. danny_galaga
    I don't understand why it would do that, but will bear it in mind if I do get fluctuations 🙂

    Next question of course is what is the pin-out of this sensor?
  7. danny_galaga
    Cool, will order that now 🙂

    Is this what the plug looks like? Of course these guys are out of stock. What the hells wrong with just using spade terminals, dammit... https://jaydeeautocables.com.au/products/honeywell-pressure-sensor-connector-kit-hps3-k

    Well for now all I want is a connector for it. At the moment, that wh part number doesnt get me any closer to handing over my readies. Although after searching around I found out the sensor is from Honeywell so maybe I can pursue it that way. Perhaps through Digi-Key

    That is the gauge I have, and the plane this came out of has the same gauge. I'm puzzled why there seem to be three pins. Is one for pressure and one for a light?
  11. danny_galaga
    Just verifying that this sender unit on the oil pump being 3 pins is temp AND pressure. If not, what is it? And what is this type of plug called so I can buy one?

    Welcome to the party that never ends 🍻

    Why not tuned pipes?

    I definitely have a good think about what I read out loud to myself when it comes to the park brake and fuel switch status on the Tecnam. Bloody dyslexics worst nightmare 😄

    Clearly though if the airplane is flying, the battery was fine to start with. If it simply failed in flight, I agree with Spacesailor, the alternator will carry on as before. Unless the battery became a dead short

    I'll have to start writing one for my plane soon I guess. It will even have 'turn on skyecho2' on the list. Naturally it will include a parkbrake check 😀 Plane failed to take off due to parking brake not being fully released, safety report finds - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-17/tas-plane-failed-to-take-off-due-to-parking-brake-still-being-on/102358096

    A lot of the motorcycle wreckers I've been to have the most important stuff indoors. Different sort of scene to car wreckers.

    Anyway, thanks for the input guys! Cables sorted, now onto the next thing 🙂
  19. danny_galaga
    Oh well. Aircraft spruce it is...
  20. danny_galaga
    I still think the throttle arm will pass my criterion 😉
  21. danny_galaga
    Voila!

    Weight is the main issue for transmission lines. If you ever look at it up close, there might be 15-20 'strands'. Each one maybe 3-4mm thick 😲. Flexibility against vibration is not such an issue. Ya gotta remember though, I'm not Howard Hughes-ing this thing. I'm trying to build a standard kit, and I'm tired of paying for hangar space for a non flying plane.

    Part number? I've noticed that the BMW starter is about the same as the 912 so I suspect they have a similar pricing structure for spares. If I have a part number I can easily find if it's cheaper. Or in fact see if a motorcycle wrecker has a trashed carby for cheap. But I don't want to hunt around, enduring many blank stares (see my starter cable thread) only to finally find out it costs the same as getting it from aircraft spruce, where I don't have to talk to any bored employee watching the clock 😄

    I agree if I'm getting a fuel pump for a Boeing 737 jet engine, then maybe I should follow provenance. If however, I need the left carby throttle arm for a Rotax 912, then a simple visual inspection should suffice 😉
  25. danny_galaga
    Yes, that's the FB i was talking about.
