Hi Area 51 and Special Effects.
Did you aim both lights for Taxi?
Both lights for Landing?
One aimed for Taxi and one for Landing?
Were you able to aim where the lights were useful? We were fooling a little with
lights at that position and the aim is very critical and touchy.
Thx
Happy New Year to all!
Ron P.

They look awesome; looks like fair bit of fine shaping... were you happy with the
result?!
Weather sux here right now; spent weeks working right up to a deadline only to
have nature say, NoGo, take the big plane
Aiming? I just slapped them on, set level to cruise attitude. Will probably focus
on and install strobe driver this week.
Won't be moving forward with CAD files until field testing process is complete;
unknown yet whether the 3D prints will disintegrate in flight or what final amendments
may be required.

[quote="phillik747"]That is nice setup! Are you willing to share those 3d files?
I have been on the fence with and av-30 setup, but it seems you have to be in the
ecosystem for a working ads-b solution. Your setup is impressive.
My main holdup on an AV-30 solution is working with what I already have. I wrote
my own altitude encoder software that listens to pressure altitude given over
wifi in NMEA format. It then relays that in ICARUS format over RS232. I have
been wondering if I can utilize the signal coming from the AV-30 (using their
AV-Link) and convert it. Or connect to it over rs232 to capture the data. That
way I can use the AV-30 to update the pressure altitude on the GTX-327, via
my script, and use the EchoUAT for ADS-B out/in. This is all hypothetical since
I dont have an AV-30 to test with.
My script is on github:

Thanks Kyle - Will check the script out; i'm not a natural at code writing but
can understand it after a lot of mumblings.
I can't speak highly enough about the AV-30 solution. However my assumption regarding
ILS being added down the line was incorrect; hardware limitations will
not allow this; which is why the PilotIII with its glide slope feature is being
retained. Currently seeing if an RS232 sentence is allocated on this.
The Uavionix platform just works. Its hassle free integration makes installation
as easy as Instal Setting feature select and Calibration procedure performed
either once inflight or preflight depending on feature set. At the moment firmware
updates require instrument removal but the tales have been put in place
to add an RS232 update port when required. One of the units totally died on a
firmware upgrade; out of warranty and Uavionix sent out a new replacement straight
away. The connector pins for me are the only let down; i would prefer to
see a full closed tube crimp terminal rather than open roll over tab solution.
The GTX327 will not communicate directly with AV-30 for either I/O ALTITUDE data
or SQUAWK. This was my original planned setup. It would require a translator
box and i didn't need yet another project that might not work. That being said
the GTX327 with ALT-ENCODER and ADSB out interface will work just fine. It won't
work however with the GARMIN GAE12 digital encoder used on GTX330 TX. Some
EFIS and EEMS solutions can supply Serial RS232 Altitude data to the GTX327
also.
Are dual AV-30 units required for DG / AH function? No, a single head unit will
perform both functions and is hot swappable in flight. The Garmin G5 does not
offer this, but you do get ILS functionality.
