 Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 6:36 am Post subject: iLevil and Ipad |
 |
|
I have purchased the latest SW iLevil and am looking for advice where to fit it.
I have played with it out of the aircraft and find that when rolling and turning it does not perform well and hangs up when the "aircraft" is level. I imagine the sensors need resetting but am not sure how this is done Leaving it swithed off for a day or so does not solve the problem.. I know one UK Europa has one fitted but I dont have contact with the builder/ owner..If I fit it atop of the cowling will the mass of the engine and other electronics affect the magnetometers? I am reluctant to fit it remotley as this would entail longish wire runs and messy plumbing for the static and pitot tubing
Any advice would be much appreciated
regards
Bill Dewey

I have installed the iLevil on the lnstrument panel floor, carefully aligned and shimmed to level flight attitude. I use flyQ and the combination works very well for VFR. We do use 2 aging ipads for redundancy.
I'm reserving the space on the right center of the panel for the ultimate installation of a Grand Rapids or other unit in case I decide to get IFR current in the future.
We flew to Wyoming from Vermont, for the eclipse and found glare to be a non-issue. A small angle adjustment of the RAM mount always cured it. I recommend RAM mounts without reservation.

Hello Jim,
> From what I read in the Rotax Install Manuals, all versions old and new, the Ducati
regulator is supposed to delivers 14 plus or minus .3 Volts. Mine consistently
regulates at 13,9 - 14 volts. I have been using an SB7800 lithium battery
for two years / 200 hours now and that works just fine.
Regards
Remi

Anyone on this tack tried the iLevil in a EuropaXS ?
Where to mount it and what results obtained in flight.
I understand it transmits wirelessly to an Ipad or Andrid device.
Not over enamoured with these screens due to reflection issues

When evaluating EFIS systems, be sure to look at the availability and cost of data
upgrades. You may find large differences.

Subject: VENTILATION IN FLIGHT & POSITIVE CABIN PRESSURE
From: "willydewey" <willydewey(at)gmail.com>
I recently returned from a summer trip to Germany and Austria in G-IANI
wonderful trip but temperatures at 2000 ft rose in the cockpit to 44 deg C
and CO2 from the exhaust bothered me most of the time..
When on the ground the 914 was a problem to start probably by fuel being evaporated
in the carbs and consequential vapour lock
I have the Standard NACA vents (broken but open) but these didnt work at all well.
Ian gave me a Mecaplex vent which unfortunalty doesnt match the curve of the
screen and maybe it would if fitted foul the locking handle.
During the winter months I would like to redress the situation and would be grateful
for advice, in screen vents for example. Is it feasible to block or restrict
the entrance where the flap drive enters the fuselage? If this is possible
the CO2 problem might improve
Any help or tips much appreciated.
I do have the vapour return line installed back to the tank as required by the
LAA and was recently checked and a logbook entry made.
Once started from cold the 914 ran faultlessly even in those high temperatures
Both cylinder head and oil temperatures were within limits.

Been through the same cabin ventilation issues tried negative pressure but carbon
monoxide in cockpit and a blast of air from my fuel selector location in the
tunnel.
I now have 3d printed deflectors on inside of air vents to direct air to blow over
body/face and an extra air vent on top of the cockpit also 3d printed with
a closable moveable vent inside to direct the air where required. It works well
but did take me 7 versions to get right.
Tested in SW France this summer.

Hi Mike
I had a similar problem with my Europa and traced it down to my cheap Iphone/pad
charger.. I think the Guardian (not cheap) may be one way to go. Otherwise its
a suck it and see situation with liberal use of chokes and capacitors in circuits
Hope you can sort it

From: David Watts <dg.watts(at)talktalk.net>
Hi all
There have been several messages about radio interference from cheap USB chargers
and I keep meaning to put a message out about it as I have spent quite a bit
of time sorting this out.
What I have found is that there are car cigarette type chargers win USB outlets
that use a completely different electronic technology which they call Smart Charging
(not smart phone charging).
A good example of these is by a manufacturer called 1byOne and they market a triple
output charger with each outlet supplying up to 2.4 Amps. They are available
from Amazon for around 6. There are others available.
I and my friend have been using them for quite a while and there is no interference
at all no matter how close they are to the radio.

Will,
I=99d have to recommend the Ultimate Ventilator available through
Aircraft Spruce. ( http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=63921
&
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ultimatevent.php?clickkey=
29703 ) I have them installed on my Europa and they do an excellent job
of getting air into the cockpit. They aren=99t cheap, but I guess
this is a case of getting what you pay for.
Just my 2=C2=A2, YMMV.
