Tom Clary Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Hi Ed, What is the silver knob below the throttle. Prop feathering?? Tom Quote
mikeschumann Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Totally AWESOME!!!! I'm drooling over the 10" Displays. Quote
Doug Levy Posted December 22, 2022 Report Posted December 22, 2022 Who makes the engine measuring panel? I'd like to upgrade my VDO gages. Quote
Ed Babovec Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Posted December 22, 2022 Hi Tom, Yes, it's actually a hydraulically powered adjustment mechanism. (not a constant speed). I know what you're thinking, why does it have to be hydraulically powered, being that the prop is relatively light. I've asked and have not received a reasonable answer. When I get my first U-15, I'll share the answer. You can also go to woodcomppropellers.com for some info. Hi Mike, Much better than the divided panel. You can order a carbon fiber panel as an option, also. Now have to work on W&B for the extra weight forward. Hi Doug, Don't know. I'll include your question on my next email to the factory. BTW, the new seats will give some extra headroom for tall pilots, and factory says they are just as comfortable as the old seats, some kind of space age foam. We'll see. Quote
Ed Babovec Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Posted December 22, 2022 Tom, Since you mentioned the word throttle, an excuse to say that now PureFlight is using a McFarlane vernier throttle now. A high quality, much, much better throttle than was used previously. In the past, I've repaired many of the former throttles, it seems to be a go to item from Europe for some reason. This is a good sign that PureFlight is looking at every detail, and if there's a better alternative, they won't hesitate e to make the change. Refreshing considering my last ten years. The McFarlane throttle is easily retrofittable, but will require an LOA. Quote
Ed Babovec Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Posted December 23, 2022 Hi Doug, The EMS is a Kanardia Digi, used mainly in Europe, but there is a US distributor now: www.aerosportplanes.com Quote
