I was wonderin g if anyone else has done this yet and where they mounted the ADHARS and the autopilot servos. Pictures would be a bonus!! __________________ -Mike Kraus RV-4 built and sold RV-10 built and flying Radial KitFox SS7 building ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:56:51 AM PST US From: Richard Weiss Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: SkyView in a KitFox Mike, Here's a picture of my 10" Skyview installation. The ADAHRS is inside the upper glovebox (on the right side). The ADS-B unit is horizontal and the EMS and Mode S Transponder are mounted on the left side vertically below and slightly outboard of the ADS-B. I opted not to use an autopilot. The Skyview is outstanding, I think you'll be pleased! Best of luck on your installation.

When the radio receives any signal, it cuts out the intercom. I called the tech dept at GulfCoast Aviation, the supplier, who told me that was normal in all radios with intercom. He said it was designed that way so you don't miss any ATC calls. It's been a while since I've flown but I don't remember that being true. If that were true, when the radio was picking up a signal, you'd not be able to talk over your intercom to the other guy to say things like, "We're on fire, Do you see the traffic, You're airspeed is too low, or Watch out for those birds". Do radios with built in intercom cut out the intercom when receiving a signal? Is the guy from Gulf Coast wrong? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, so I can determine if I've got a problem with the new radio Clem Wehner Lawton, OK KF-IV, 912 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=404300#404300 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:18:21 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: intercom function From: Tommy Walker I haven't used the the Flight line radio, but I had two similar radios in homebuilts and they both worked the way you described. I don't think you have a problem. Tommy, Sent from my Xoom Tablet On Jul 9, 2013 10:57 AM, "clemwehner" wrote: > > I installed a Flightline FL-760 radio that has built in intercom into our > KFIV.
