Building a NG trigear & need some advice on avionics panel. To simplify matters I was considering using a commercial power panel such as the TRAYMOUNT EXBUS2V, LIGHTSPORT or MINI POWER PANEL as found in Aircraft Spruce catalogue. Does anyone out there have any experience with these units. Thankyou.

Subs equent flight checks were excellent=2C and I was really pleased with the job. The very next flight was a different story. High power settings produced a disturbin g engine flutter and a loss of some power. Ground checks confirmed the fact=2C and a variety of attempts were made to solve the problem. All without success! If anyone else has experienced the same and has the answer please let me know. The symptoms=3B 1. Engine starts and ticks over very nicely. Mag. checks OK. 2. Fuel pressure is good. 3. 2500 rpm. Smooth running. No noticeable difference on mag. checks. 4. 4000 rpm. Fluttering becomes apparent. More pronounced on one mag. 5. 5000 rpm. Fluttering is obvious. Again more pronounce on one mag. Checks so far=3B 1. All spark plugs replaced. 2. All wiring and leads checked. 3. Valve covers off=2C and valves=2C seating=2C collars etc. Checked. 4. Connections to engine management switched. Mag. symptoms switched with it.5. Carb settings checked for ful l opening and closing. There is a possibility that the ignition is not advancing. Is there a simple way to define that? Thanks in anticipation.
