I would love to hear your thoughts about this situation. Generally speaking, it's never wrong to follow the instructions. I'm always curious as to the design decisions that prompt such requirements from manufacturers . . . but one almost never gets to talk to the guy who did it. From the airframe side of the fence, mechanical robustness, reduction in weight, cost and parts count and designing for failure tolerance germinated a host of design rules that NEVER speak to what goes on inside a purchased black box. Internal workings are the responsibility of the product's designer. I can tell you that any supplier asking for a 1A slow blow fuse to protect an input to a device offered for a Beech product would be queried in detail. . . . we probably would have agreed on a miniature, 2.5 or 5A breaker instead.

Currently I'm feeding my 406 ELT position data from the Garmin but want to retain that ability with the IPad/ForeFlight/Stratux set up. Has anyone done this? Anyone know the exact pins on the Sratux to pull GPS position from to make the 406 ELT happy? I ordered the Stratux already built so I probably need to be spoon fed....... http://www.matronics.com/skycomm/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=475706#475706 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
