Here's another idea. I have a 120V electric pump I use for bike tires at
home (pumps faster than the 12V models I have seen.) My shade-port parking has no electricity, so I hook a 400W inverter to the car battery terminals and use that to power the pump. The inverter also has a cigarette lighter plug, but the plug doesn't deliver enough power for the inverter to work the pump that way. I have also used the inverter to power a hand held vacuum for cleaning the plane's carpets, but a higher wattage inverter would be better for that use. Another thing I have found is that mechanical pressure guages are very inaccurate. I have an $8 digital guage that seems to be much better. -- Regards, Mike "Ben Jackson" wrote in message news:aETFb.433014$Dw6.1332454@attbi_s02... Last Wednesday I found myself unable to push my plane back into the hangar without help. It was wet, limiting my shoe traction, and I had been unable to successfully get back on the concrete pad after cutting the corner through the squishy grass, forcing me to take a more straight-in (and more uphill) approach. Today before flying I hauled my compressor to the hangar and aired up my tires. They didn't look that squishy, but they sure took a lot of air to get back to book values. It's a hell of a lot easier to push now! -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |
