=EF=BBHello all,
At times it seems like it=99s one step forward and two steps back. So
it went for me this past week. I thought I was finished with my panel upgr
ade and took the plane up for a test flight. Keep in mind all the component
s were working prior to the final install in the panel.
I enter the flight plan in the 175 and it comes across to the Dynon, great.
I take off and note that the magenta line isn=99t being displayed on m
y moving map, nor is the HSI working properly. I am also getting an error on
the G5 for loss of ARINC429. I get back down and check the setting they se
em good. What=99s going on? It was all working fine before the final i
nstall. I check the Dynon diagnostics and see ARINC labels coming across, y
et no HSI, odd. I email Dynon, they scratch their head and can=99t fi
gure it out, settings look good. Maybe the Dynon doesn=99t like to pl
ay with the G5, and they suggest disconnecting it from the system, even thou
gh I told them it was working previously.
Frustrated, I head out to the plane and remove the center panel to gain acce
ss to the G5 and GAD29 which required that I remove the com radio and GPS. I
go to reinstall the GPS in its tray and something doesn=99t feel righ
t. I pull it back out and peer inside the tray and that do I find, a bent p
in in the tray connector. Ugh. I confirm the bent pin is for ARINC out. T
hat makes sense.
Optimistic as ever I think I can straighten the pin while in the tray. Who w
as I kidding. I had to remove the trays and wiring harness from the plane.
What a PITA it was. I replaced the pin which was no small feat. Then I re
connected the harness and did a quick functional check without the trays and
everything worked. I then move on to reinstalling everything into the pane
l. As I was installing the trays I found myself pushing against the pins i
n the connector. Fortunately, I realized what I was doing and stopped befor
e bending any more pins. Mystery solved. Those HD pins are tiny and very, v
ery fragile.
Here's a picture of the panel upgrade which is complete for the most part.

Up near the Goldcoast Queensland... many people in the affected area are not insured;
lost everything, some planes included; premiums will be expensive on renewal!!...
many people still missing in one district presumed washed away or buried
in mudslides in their houses... for some reason mobile carriers are preventing
comms access to local residents while interstate registered residents enjoy
uninterrupted full network service access; trying to fathom the brains trust
required to administrate that strategy???
