Propeller Field Repair

Video:
Believe it or not, "super" glue and baking soda can often be used to make a field repair to a nicked propeller. In this video, Timm Bogenhagen of the EAA staff shows the technique that is used extensively in the ultralight and light plane world.

First was the II+ ignition unit itself.  Returned to the maanufacturer and came back working fine with the comment that there was nothing wrong with it..... 
Then the plug into the hall effect module.  Cheap computer type plug and receptacle.  Not the kind of thing to have in the engine compartment of an airplane.  Even automotive applications use better parts.  I understand the crank sensor is a better application but have not seen it or it's components.  Others have had grief with the guts of certain models of the ignition boxes themselves but those may have been worked out by now. 
Two of three failures resulted in cancelled trips and inconvenience to others as well.  The third resulted in a half day spent working in 100 degrees and high humidity in the middle of the country on a trip.  Everyone in the canard world seems thrilled with these products but there has been more failure reporting among the RV crowd.  Almost as many as the E-mag products.  But then they are not so "in awe" of the manufacturer.   
Good Luck.

Blue Mountain Avionics EFIS Sport with AutoPilot. It has been in my plane 2.5 years and now I want to upgrade my panel. The Sport is G2, it is similar to what is currently being sold as the G4 Lite Plus. Original price was $10000.00 for both. Have it all for only $4000.00. I am willing to sell the parts as follows AP $2100.00; Efis Sport $2200.00. The EFIS cannot hook up with the engine monitor. The AP will work with all past and present EFIS units.

A lot of your questions could be answered by joining the AOPA and using their vast resources.  They also have a good flight planner.  With that, it's asociated links and a 396 I have flown across the country twice as a relatively low time private pilot.  Airnav is also handy and free.

Are you sure about the number (J-7401-8)?  I can't find it on Spruce's website or catalog, nor any other.  Maybe If you check it, I can see if Sacramento Sky Ranch can get you one sooner, or Wicks, or what the other fellow suggested.

Seems 7402 is more common on O-235.....?

I'm having issues with my calipers not releasing enought to stop a constant drag and wondered if others have had the problem.  My A&P mentioned that others have found problems with the mounting plate not mating up properly with the axel on a Long EZ.  Having just completely removed, cleaned and replaced my brakes I find they still drag on the rotor quite a bit.  Have cleaned and greased the slides and replaced the O-rings and the master cylinders are only a year old and I'm still stumped.  Can anyone help...?
Thanks.
