an obvious simple light and cheap one is the Tinytach , it simply has a singlewire lead that wraps around one plug wire.an internal battery that lasts severalyears and it turns itself off after shutdown. I have used 2 on 2 differentRotaxes in a Rans and a Challenger I fly now. the bad news is I have heard theydon't work well on a engine like the Corvair. I'd sure be trying one out onmine, but the plane has an electronic instrument panel already. EIS I believe.hopefullybefore the end of the year I'll get a chance to fly it.

If I recall correctly, PF Beck was using a Tinytach wit his Corvair several years ago with no problems from what he told me then. Don't know if that's still his setup or not.Kip GardnerOn Mar 28, 2010, at 4:56 PM, skellytown flyer wrote:> >> an obvious simple light and cheap one is the Tinytach , it simply > has a single wire lead that wraps around one plug wire.an internal > battery that lasts several years and it turns itself off after > shutdown.

Not sure if this website has been mentioned here before, but there is a fatherand son team in Switzerland that is building a Hatz biplane that has out of thisworld workmanship and quality.

I think Bernard liked to experiment. At the time he used that Corvair, itwas far cheaper than an aircraft engine. That is no longer the case (theemail that started this thread was about a Corvair PROJECT that was for salefor $6,000, which is four times as much as I paid for my Continental A-65,and is nearly half what I've got in the Lycoming O-540 that I'll put in theRV-10). I owned a Corvair for several years (we bought it new in 1966, soit wasn't worn out when we got it, although it was 3 years later) andlearned a great deal about the "reliability' of both the engine and the car.I remember that the Corvair was used in one of my machine design classes incollege as an example of how NOT to design a belt-drive system.But these airplanes are licensed as "Experimental", so go for it. I justprefer aircraft engines for aircraft, and car engines for cars. The designrequirements are totally different.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

The westach is the tach on NX92GB.- The one we use has the tach generator.- The only problem I have seen with it is it is inacurate, when compared to a timing light/ tach (snap on brand).- The higher the rpm's the more inacurate it is.- We indicate 3100rpm static, which the timing light reads about 2750-2800 rpm.- the westach is consistant just not accurate, in our case anyhow.- I don't know if others have this problem or not.- We replaced the tah generator once, and it seemed a little more accurate for the 1st few hrs, but then read higher rpm's as time went by. I am not sure if there are any adjustments on the tach gauge or not. On another note, I am missing out on the best flying weather in the past 4-5 months, due to a bad back, I look like a question mark. ???

I have a total of $7,000 in my A-65, but that included NEW MilleniumCylinders and pistons, which was $3400 of that total. I also sent thecrankcasr out to Divco for overhauling, and the crankshaft and connectingrods were overhauled by Aircraft Specialties. I bought a new camshaft, andnew Slick magnetos. I did the overhaul myself, under the supervision of anA&P/IA. I could have done it much cheaper, but I like reliability, which iswhat started this thread.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____
