I have the presentation if anyone wants a copy (I'll post it to the <br>site & fbook soon). Listening to Pat speak though, you can tell that he's a <br>deep well of decades of useful, expert information. It was really a treat <br>getting to hear him speak:<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115212362180&l=7214535b95" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115212362180&l=7214535b95</a><br><br>In a nut shell Pat covered what you need to do to get the statistics of <br>igniters up to par to ensure your clusters and air start motor ignitions work <br>every time and you don't lose a $700 bird.<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115218122324&l=6348b63b01" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115218122324&l=6348b63b01</a><br><br>Key info for anyone attempting an L3 or doing complex flights.<br><br>Here are some of the resulting igniters we made (some used raw nichrome wire <br>twisted around the leads, most used nichrome "chips"):<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115220562385&l=24d50dcd80" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202115220562385&l=24d50dcd80</a><br><br>We even went outside afterwards and did some testing. :)<br><br>I was glad to have so much experience on the topic in the room while we were <br>actually dipping. Bob even has a really cool "add on" recipe for what appears <br>to be the ability to turn any ematch IN to a very effective igniter (maybe <br>he'll share the details on list.. or flag him for the details).<br><br>Tweeks<br>_______________________________________________<br>NRVR-Members mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:NRVR-Members@nrvr.org" href="mailto:NRVR-Members@nrvr.org">NRVR-Members@nrvr.org</a><br><a href="http://nrvr.org/mailman/listinfo/nrvr-members" target="_blank">http://nrvr.org/mailman/listinfo/nrvr-members</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
