Subject: | Garmin Experimental Only Radios |
I was wondering what the difference between the radios they sell as Experimental
only and the ones that they sell for Certified aircraft? Is there an easy way
to tell them apart? I am looking to get either a 430 or a 530 and have been
looking at used units but don't want to buy one of the experimental ones if
they are not legal to install.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

If you are not sure if it is legal to install, check with the A&P or repair
station that is going to sign off the installation. Too often, an owner
comes in with something that he/she has purchased and the installer has to
jump through all sorts of hoops.
Don't buy it unless they tell you they can sign it off.

Sam,
Why are you using a double pole switch for "System B Engine Secondary"
ECU instead of a single pole switch?
Suggestion for Ignition Coil +12V Supply: connect switch terminals 1 & 4
together and terminals 3 & 6 together for redundancy.
Would it hurt anything to have two pumps running at once? It would
greatly simplify the circuit to have one switch for each pump, with each
switch having 3 positions: source A, OFF, source B. It would be up to
the pilot to make sure that only one pump in turned on at a time.
If you absolutely have to prevent both pumps from running at once, let
me know and I will draw a circuit using either 4 switches or else 2
switches plus diodes.

Hi Bob,
I went to Carling's www site in search of mech drawaings for their S700
series switches and I couldn't find any. Would you by chance have a copy
laying around? Or if not, would you mind jotting down the case dimensions
of a S700-2 style switch?
Also, do you have any recommendations on switch spacing? I'm using 1.25"
and on the CAD drawing, they seem a little far apart.
Thank you,

I think it might be better to only have one fuel pump at a time, to prevent
overloading the pressure regulator. I don't know how much flow the P.R. can
handle, since I have not yet powered up the system. If the regulator can
handle two pumps, then no problem. However, if it can't, then running two
pumps may adversely affect the mixture.
I recently saw an accident report involving a Lancair IV where it is
speculated that two pumps were running at once and the engine lost power
because of an excessively rich condition.
Anyway, that's my reasoning.

My understanding is that all Garmin units are for certified aircraft, but
must be installed according to the installation manual and appropriate
TSO's.
Some Garmin dealers do sell units with a harness for experimental aircraft,
which allows them to get around Garmin's requirements for their dealers to
do the installation.
But the radios themselves are exactly the same, and all are approved for
certified aircraft.
Thanks!

Hi Jon,
I think the Precise Flight speedbrakes do best with an ON/ON switch. An
ON/OFF switch works, because the controller will make the speedbrakes
slam closed whenever power is removed, but they slam closed with a fair
amount of force and I can't think that's good for the long term. An
ON/ON switch allows them to be powered closed, which is a smooth,
elegant, operation.
By the way, someone mentioned the problem of asymmetric extension of the
speedbrakes. The Precise Flight controller has sensors and logic
circuits that make that unlikely. If it senses that one side is
extended (or retracted) more than the other, for some minimum length of
time, it automatically closes them both, using the "slam closed" method,
which I think is driven by a strong spring. However, the Legacy is
reported to be fully controllable with one fully extended and the other
fully retracted.
I'm sure you can use a "hat switch" to control them, possibly through
relays, but I'd encourage you to make sure it's unlikely that you or a
passenger could activate the switch by mistake. The speedbrakes are
pretty effective and unplanned activation could be distracting for a
couple of seconds while you were trying to figure out what the heck is
going on.
My switch is on the end of my left hand throttle, in a place I thought
was immune to accidental activation. I inadvertently activated mine
twice during my fly-off test phase, when I was learning how everything
works. The airplane is fully controllable and it's really not an issue,
but it can be a distraction.
Speedbrakes are not required and they're expensive and heavy, but they
are so cool.
Good luck,
Dennis Johnson

I used a three position switch for the speed brakes on my Legacy.
Center off, momentary on, switched on. That way you can have the best
of both worlds. The one word of caution is to have a power switch
separate from the control switch. Sometimes switches get hit on the
stick unintentionally. You would not want the speed brakes to come out
during take off and in my experience you wouldn=92t notice right away.
Regards,
Mike

Subject: | Speed Brake Switch |
Jon,
With the Precise Flight speed brakes you have two switches. The first
is the main power switch that provides power to the controller. The
second switch is the control switch which controls the operation of the
speed brake. The first switch is used for removing power from the
system altogether. When power is removed the speed brakes go into
failsafe which is a hard retract. The control switch works through the
computer controller and controls the rate of extension and retraction
while providing asymmetry protection during operation. Look at the
schematic provided and put together list a of questions from that. The
wiring that Precise provides is not very clear. The units were original
designed for an engineered installation on certified aircraft and the
drawings have not been updated for the typical homebuilt installation.
Here is the response from a post that I made down thread: I used a three
position switch for the speed brakes on my Legacy. Center off,
momentary on, switched on. That way you can have the best of both
worlds. The one word of caution is to have a power switch separate from
the control switch. Sometimes switches get hit on the stick
unintentionally. You would not want the speed brakes to come out during
take off and in my experience you wouldn=92t notice right away.

Bob & All,
I have a 4-way momentary "China hat" switch on my Infinity Aerospace
throttle handle that I want to use for flaps (up & down) and speed
brakes (fwd & aft). The Precise Flight speed brakes require an ON-OFF
switch because once power is removed, they will close.
Let me preface my question with the fact the electricity is "not my
area"! My question is how do I use the MOM switch to provide continuous
voltage to the speed brake asymmetry module to keep them extended? Does
it require a relay or some other electrical equipment? Or should I just
use an ON-OFF switch somewhere else?
Thanks,

Good Morning Sam,
Way out of my area of expertise, but I think you will find that there is no
difference at all.
If you buy it for an experimental, you can install it yourself and still get
a warranty. If it is installed in a certificated airplane, it must be
installed by an Garmin approved radio shop to get the warranty.

Subject: | Z-22 Power loss question |
Considering using Z-22 for a Skytec PM starter circuit.
Z-22 eliminates the jumper on the starter and makes the starter terminal hot with
master on, running an additional line from the starter contactor to power up
the solenoid. Usually, the battery cable runs to and then thru the starter contactor
to the starter.
I know Z-22 is primarily concerned with eliminating "Run On" Would it also provide
more power for starting?
That is would there be less power loss to make battery cable run 14' all the way
to PM starter solenoid or run 11' to firewall mounted starter contactor then
3' to battery? Not running thru the contactor but just connected on the power
side of the contactor.
In other words is there appreciable loss thru 2 lugs joined thru a bolt on the
contactor?
Currently have 3' of 6 gauge from starter to starter contactor which is next to
firewall mounted battery. Am moving battery aft and trying to decide whether
to run the 2 gauge all the way to the starter or just run it to the starter contactor
and keep the 6 gauge from the contactor to the starter. Hope this make
sense...

Subject: | Re: Speed Brake Switch |
John,
If you contact JD at Inifinity Aerospace he can tell you how to do it. I
think he has an optional switch you could install in place of the original
coolie hat switch that will do what you want.
Stan Sutterfield
I have a 4-way momentary "China hat" switch on my Infinity Aerospace
throttle handle that I want to use for flaps (up & down) and speed
brakes (fwd & aft). The Precise Flight speed brakes require an ON-OFF
switch because once power is removed, they will close.
Let me preface my question with the fact the electricity is "not my
area"! My question is how do I use the MOM switch to provide continuous
voltage to the speed brake asymmetry module to keep them extended? Does
it require a relay or some other electrical equipment? Or should I just
use an ON-OFF switch somewhere else?
Thanks,
Jon Hults

Subject: | Re: Garmin Experimental Only Radios |
Thank you for the replies.
Looks like the radios are the same and the FEDs won't care which I have installed.
The only difference is that the Garmin warranty would likely not be honored
if new "experimental aircraft" radio was installed in a certified aircraft.
My mechanic says he can install the radio and he knows a radio shop that will
do the certification.
Since a new "experimental aircraft" 430 or 530 can be purchased for about the same
price as a used one it might be worth investigating. I wouldn't have a warranty
either way and the certified aircraft radios are about $3000 more. That
is a lot to pay for a warranty.

Subject: | Two Fuel pumps Z-19RB |
Ya, definitely not the same setup that I have. I am using the stock
1990-1994 Subaru EJ-22 fuel pressure regulator and two pumps from the 1992
Subaru Loyale.
I think it would be worth it to wire them up on the bench with a pressure
regulator hooked up and run a test. We have such a large header tank that I
don't think heat build up in the fuel is an issue but, as you said, the
inability for the regulator to maintain the correct pressure is an issue.

I think it might be better to only have one fuel pump at a time, to
prevent overloading the pressure regulator. I don't know how much flow the
P.R. can handle, since I have not yet powered up the system. If the
regulator can handle two pumps, then no problem. However, if it can't, then
running two pumps may adversely affect the mixture.
I recently saw an accident report involving a Lancair IV where it is
speculated that two pumps were running at once and the engine lost power
because of an excessively rich condition.
Anyway, that's my reasoning.

If you absolutely have to prevent both pumps from running at once, let

Sam,
How about the attached circuit? Four fuses are necessary in case a pump
shorts out and blows two of them. The switch is still a single failure
point. It would be better to tolerate two pumps running at once. It
would seem that regulators should be available to handle the flow rate
of two pumps. If you do not want the voltage drop of diodes, two of
SPDT switches could be used instead of diodes. The more complicated the
circuit, the greater the chance of something going wrong.

Tin whiskers occur in very selective environments and

the present time, there are no lead-free alloys that have
been embraced by the aviation industry . . . and I would
presume the military isn't really enthusiastic about low-lead

problems, lead-free falls short in a number of performance

But I do owe you a "grade" on your efforts with
a goal of honing your skills. It also affords me a data
point which may have future value.
I've fielded a ton of incoming cabbages and tomatoes
for allegedly faulty design and/or advice . . . all
based on situations about which I was honorably skeptical
but unable to defend for lack of hands-on experience.
This was in spite of life-time, money-back guarantees
so I suspect the allegations were bogus. But my warranty
extends to both ideas and product so we're doing each
other a favor here my friend.

Understand. Let's see if we can figure out
