| Now that the dust is starting to settle
from the Arlington Fly-In, it's almost time for
AirVenture Oshkosh. The dates this year are July 26 through August 1
(Monday through Sunday). Our booth will be at our usual spot, in locations 1082 & 1083. This year, we have a triple threat in the booth: Product Support Representative Alan Jesmer will be giving his usual mesmerizing mix of aviation wisdom and stand-up comedy. He will be accompanied by straight man Jim Errington, Sales Manager at our neighbor company, Lamar Technologies; and Product Support Representative Chuck Maddox, taking a break from semi-retirement to help in the booth. In addition, Precision Airmotive Product Support Manager Peter Nielson will be speaking at a forum on Wednesday. Weather-related / health-related advice - we've said this before, and it's worth repeating: In spite of its location near Lake Winnebago, it can get blasted hot at Oshkosh, so make sure you have water handy. But if you get stuck, come by the booth and see Alan: He's looking for new jokes, as always, so it should be VERY easy to make a jokes-for-water exchange. Alan will have plenty of bottled water on hand. But if you're fresh out of jokes as well as water, just ask Alan nicely and he'll probably have a bottle for you. The Eagle EMS has been all over the map lately, and AirVenture Oshkosh will be no exception. There will be several opportunities to see the Eagle system at Oshkosh:
For a preview, you can check out the installation pictures on this page of the Eagle EMS section of our website. Among the photos are several pictures of Dave Marcum's airplane (including his snazzy new paint job). If you don't happen to find Pete in the booth, you'll have another opportunity to see him as he will be speaking at one forum:
Full information about AirVenture Oshkosh is available online at www.airventure.org. We hope to see you there at the biggest event of the aviation season! |

We now have exact replica mockups of parallel valve O/IO-360 engines for sale. They're made of molded plastic resin, so they weigh just 25 pounds and the price is $900. The advantage to you the aircraft builder is that you can build your airbox and baffling; position your wiring, fuel lines, and other components; and make other modifications before spending thousands of dollars on your real engine. Also, it's far easier to manipulate a 25-pound plastic mockup engine than a real one which can weigh upwards of three hundred pounds. In addition, because you're working with a mockup engine rather than the real thing, you're not running the risk of inadvertently damaging your engine and running up repair bills before your aircraft is even finished, which can be frustrating as well as costly. If our replica engine can help you finish your aircraft, give us a call and order yours today! Further details are on this page. If you have any questions, please contact Alan Jesmer for more information. |

| On the Service Publications
page, we have updated the Index of Manuals, Bulletins, and
Service Information Letters to the latest revision (Rev. Y, February
2010). You can check in
the Index to make sure you're up-to-date with the latest publications for
your Fuel Injection system. You can read it online; or, if you prefer, call us and order
a hard copy of the Index at no charge, Another change (not as recent, but still
worth noting) to the Service Publications page is that in 2007, we placed two
of our RSA manuals
online: Another addition to the Service Publications page is that the list of documents now includes the publication dates. This was in direct response to feedback from one of our website users. Thank you for the suggestion! If you have suggestions, comments, or feedback about the Service Publications page, or about anything on the website, please let us know. |

Eagle EMS: Installation Photos, Videos, and Support Documents Now Online
| If a picture is worth a thousand words,
then we've just added several thousand words' worth of content to the Eagle
EMS page. We now have Eagle installation photos
online! They include pictures of Jim Skala's "in progress"
Van's RV-7A, and Dave Marcum's RV-8 taking
off with the Eagle EMS installed. Visit
the "EAGLE
EMS" page and scroll down to the
"Installation Photos" link.
In addition to pictures of customers' Eagle EMS installations, we also have pictures and videos of our own test plane, an RV-6A. The videos show the plane starting up, taxiing, taking off, and putting the Eagle's capabilities to the test by idling as low as 500 RPM while the engine continues to run smoothly. UPDATE: Dave Marcum's plane has a snazzy new paint job, and he's sent us some new pictures. Have a look at the EMS Installation Photos page -- you'll be in for a treat and even a surprise or two. If you would like to share pictures of your own Eagle EMS installation on our website, please contact Alan Jesmer and we'll work out the details of getting your pictures online. We also have Eagle EMS
support documents available for download! Go to the If you haven't visited the Eagle EMS page in a while, you'll notice that we have a page of Frequently Asked Questions, written to address technical and installation questions in-depth. Our first Eagle Q&A page, written to address more general questions about the system, is still online. If you have any questions (whether general or specific) about the system, please check these two pages first. If you still have questions after reading the pages, please e-mail your questions to Alan Jesmer and we will do our best to either incorporate them into the question pages and/or get back to you with answers. As always, thank you for asking! |

|
Latest news: "SILVER HAWK EX" goes green! Len Johnson recently completed a cross-country biofuel-powered flight with the Silver Hawk EX installed. Further details are on this page in the Silver Hawk section. Flyin' Lo strikes gold at Reno! The Flyin' Lo Racing Team won first place in the Biplane Gold Race at the 2007 Reno Air Races, flying their Pitts LR-1 Miss Gianna with the "SILVER HAWK EX" installed. Pictures and details are on this page. Additional information about the team, and pictures from the 2006 Reno Air Races, are on this page. New pictures!! New pictures!! We have two new pictures in the "SILVER HAWK EX" online photo gallery. The gallery is a collection of pictures contributed by builders who are incorporating the Silver Hawk into their aircraft. The latest additions are from Sebastian Trost, who has shared two pictures of his now-completed Van's RV-7A in flight, with the Silver Hawk EX installed. If you'd like to share pictures of your own Silver Hawk installation on our website, please contact Alan Jesmer. One thing we'd be particularly interested in is pictures of the Silver Hawk with the alternate rotation mixture configuration. Also, if you already have pictures in the gallery and you'd like to share updated pictures of your installation (for instance, if your plane is now finished), send the new pictures to Alan and we'll post them online with your other pictures. In other news, there are two new kits available for
the Silver Hawk: the An
older piece of news, but still a big one for the "SILVER
HAWK EX", is Lycoming's
new line of non-certified kit engines.
And why is that such big news?
It's big news because the "SILVER HAWK
EX" is fully compatible with Lycoming's certified
engines on experimental aircraft. Therefore, it is also the perfect fuel
control for Lycoming's new "EX" engines.
These engines, and the Silver Hawk kits suitable for them,
are listed on the Silver Hawk EX page.
Click on the link that reads "Lycoming Non-Certified Kit Engines
Cross-Reference." The "SILVER HAWK EX" is Precision Airmotive's premier fuel control system for experimental aircraft, and we are proud to support the experimental market by making this fuel control available and prominently featuring it among our product offerings. Read all about it here, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. |
