RE GAMI Nozzle For Lycoming
…DanH
I fitted a forward facing tube system, and tapped the aft end of the 1-3 rail to get bleed supply numbers for the one-cycle measurements. The rails are still on the airplane. They equalize individual pairs (1-3 and 2-4), but until now I never considered tying them together.

RE Hardwired USB power suggestions?
…TASEsq
It wouldn’t be too hard to replace that part with one wide enough to fit a 60mm hole.
I was initially thinking just aft of the fuel selector, or between the spars but it won’t fit in either of those places.

RE RV-10--How did you secure your EarthX battery?
…dad jokes
I went with the 900-VNT in the 10. and made a small wood spacer to take up the extra space in the tray. Maybe the VNT is overkill, but now I don't worry about it. and the cranking power is excellent.
