It definitely had a static system...unfortunately it was in the radios.

I'd never heard that term before. Didn't know about the Tripacers either and I owned one! Stan Sutterfield "Cockpit referenced" is a specific term for "vented to cockpit atmosphere" . . . which is what the vast majority of alternate static sources do. The piper Pacer and Tri-Pacer didn't have static systems. The altimeter was simply mounted to the panel and vented to cockpit as was any VSI and/or altitude encoders added at later dates.

" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: GNS430 VLOC/GPS wiring It doesn't sound like wiring to me?? There are a number of 'configuration' menus that make everything work. I would talk to a quailfied avionics shop, Garmin or the company that made the HSI and see what they think?

Wondering if anyone has any experience converting that layout to the standard "six pack" via a cer tified repair station. I know this has been done many times on other aircr aft and in this case all the instruments are in place, but they are in the wrong places. How much would this change cost (ballpark) ?=0A=0AThanks!=0A Rich ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:39:40 PM PST US From: "PIAVIS" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Z-13 v. SD-8 distribution Diagrams I'm in the process of wiring up the SB005-1 (S704-1?) relay with the SD-8 volt regulator and the OVM. The SD-8 distribution diagram (Dwg 504-500 rev E, 9/29/04) seems to differ from the Z-13 diagram and I'm wondering which to follow. Dwg. 504-500 refers to the relay as SB005-1, and elsewhere, it looks like the part number is S704-1. I'm not sure if these are one in the same or not. The photo at http://www.bandc.biz/S704-1_tips.html is even different and includes an additional diode installed where the OVM-14 should be installed. Anyone have a good diagram or guidance on which drawing is correct? I'm thinking that Z-13 may be the correct drawing for the application.

I had it redone in a modern sixpack with a radio stack, full IFR. Made my own padded leather panel covers. That was in 1990. I recall about $10,000. Well worth it.

Which make and model HSI? Is this one of the HSIs that is covered in the GNS400 Series Installation Manual?
