| WHY
DON'T THE TRAY NUTS SLIDE DOWN WHEN NOT ATTACHED? [ back ]
Radiorax employs a unique system that includes a stainless retainer and wave washer to securely
hold the nut where it is placed. The nut assembly nevertheless
remains movable until the tray
screws are fully tightened. This system provides for easy and
convenient adjustment of the trays both during initial installation
and when future changes are made.
ARE SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED TO INSTALL
RADIORAX RAILS? [
back ]
Most aviation mechanics already have all the
necessary tools, but Radiorax has developed special tools to make
the installation easier and more precise.
The RK100 kit
modifies trays for use with the Radiorax RP1110-P offset rail.
The RK300 installation
stand reduces bench preparation time.
The RK400 installation
spacers hold Radiorax rails at the required 6.3” spacing
during installation.
The RK500 Tray Cam Installation Kit
simplifies installation of Radiorax Tray
Cams.
Radiorax also includes a special 3” hex
ball driver with Radiorax Closeout
Panels and
Installation Spacers to aid in the use of these Radiorax products.
Finally, due to its shallow angle and especially
good fit, we recommend the number two Phillips
screwdriver with
sixteen inch shank from Snap-On for installing the tray screws.
WHY ARE RADIORAX
RAILS SO STRONG? [
back ]
Radiorax rails are formed from 6061-T6 aircraft
aluminum and anodized against corrosion (except for 1040 rails
which are Chem Filmed for painting). Their substantial shape and
configuration make them all but
indestructible
under even the most extreme aviation applications. (See "Torture
Test" under Testimonials)
IS THERE A RADIORAX SOLUTION FOR
DUAL AND TRIPLE STACK AVIONICS? [
back ]
Yes. Radiorax makes a two sided center
rail that is 0.700" wide and accommodates the side by
side stacks found in many aircraft. This brings all of the features
and benefits of our single stack system to dual stack avionics.
There is also a staggered center
rail that is only 0.385" wide for dual stack installations
with extremely tight dimensions. A special
tool re-dimples the tray.
WHAT ELSE DOES RADIORAX MAKE? [
back ]
Radiorax also makes dzus
adapters, close out panels for completing the stack, and a variety of specialty
tools to facilitate the installation process. Dzus spacers
and rails, and various other accessories to refine the installation
process are under development.
WHAT IS A RADIORAX DZUS® ADAPTER? [
back ]
Dzus avionics do not employ trays and are narrower
than tray mount avionics. Dzus-mounted avionics are commonly used
in helicopters, corporate, and commercial aircraft. This equipment
is also found in smaller aircraft, as avionics of this type offer
features required by search and rescue and other special operations.
The Radiorax Dzus Adapter adjusts the width of dzus avionics to match the width of tray
mounts and allows
dzus avionics to be mounted in Radiorax
rails together with tray mounts.
YES, BUT CAN
DZUS AND TRAY MOUNTS LINE UP TO LOOK RIGHT? [
back ]
The Radiorax Dzus Adapter has two different
depth adjustments. The first compensates for different
thickness instrument
panels. The second lines up the dzus and tray mounts. The result
is a professional looking installation that is achievable in an
efficient, straight forward manner.
DOES RADIORAX
HAVE STC APPROVAL? [
back ]
Radiorax has been STC
approved (.pdf 147Kb) for installation in more than five hundred
aircraft, including most Cessna, Beech and Piper models.
WHERE
CAN RADIORAX BE PURCHASED? [
back ]
Radiorax can be purchased from avionics shops
world wide, from Aircraft
Spruce, and from EDMO Distributors.
Additional distributors may be added in the
future.
IS RADIORAX A MEMBER OF AEA? [
back ]
Radiorax is proud to be a member of the Aircraft
Electronics Association and is enjoying many new friendships
and business relationships through this association. Radiorax
extends special terms to other AEA members.
