Hi guys! I've mentioned several times in the past that there's an upgrade modification to the instrument panel to improve the voltage regulation to the fuel & temp gauge. The fix is to change to solid state transistorized voltage regulation. More info is found at these links: [www.all

I'm sorry if you got mad Jimmie, but what you posted was not correct. My comments had nothing to do with your and Terry's exchanges.

You said:
"I really don't know why they added the resistance factor, to lower voltage to 5VDC, other than the 5VDC voltage regulator can prevent perfect direct readings. That means that otherwise the temp gauge would fluctuate every time thermostat opens/closes or fuel gauge would swing around the dial every time you hit a bump with a partial tank full. The 5VDC regulation acts as a buffer or delay mechanism to slow readings, making life more enjoyable in the cockpit, if the regulator works!"

I was just trying to pass on correct info so that you and others who read your post wouldn't be mis-informed. If I ever post something that is obviously not correct I won't get mad if you or someone else corrects me.

Understood, Russ, and no, I don't have any issue with you at all!

The problem is that this information quoted by you, and mis-quoted by me, was already at the links I posted! If there wasn't a typical big stink & ruckus raised by Terry then the pile of resulting posts wouldn't have even occurred, which would have been a blessing for everyone.

My opinion is that none of us needs some guy with all the self control of an 8 year old taking every opportunity to selfishly attack his perceived enemy in total disregard for the comforts & pleasures of all the other members. All it does is cause chaos and anxiety and adds nothing to the pleasure factor of this forum.

For those that imagine I'm just as responsible for the hassles and silly verbal purse fights here please note: I NEVER openly attack anyone, but only respond in self-defense, every single time!

Dozens upon dozens of people have been driven away from here for good because of the hostile attitude and atmosphere created by one member: Terry. Far beyond time for it to STOP!
