Robin,
I just installed my EZ pilot and love it. I had the Navaid and there is no comparison.

Why do you make the claim it is "far superior"?
Where's the proof? Give me the side by side comparison?
Otherwise I could think you just got a freebie from them and are so excited you'd
make an usubstantiated claim and we'd never be inclined to believe you again..hypothetically
speaking of course. ;-)

Dear List,
I am unimpressed with my Navaid Autopilot and I am thinking
of swapping it out with an EZ Pilot ( www.trioavionics.com
<HTTP: www.trioavionics.com />). It is that it is a direct replacement
interfacing with the Navaid servo. Probably telling the list what it
already knows. I will be hooking this up to a Garmin 250XL GPS/Com and a
Garmin 296 GPS. I would like to get feedback from the list to make sure
the EZ Pilot is a good unit worth installing.

You seem to be covering most the bases. I too, dislike using hand snips, always found them to be more of a nuisance than anything. By far the cleanest, most precise and efficient tool to use is a shear but for a variety of reasons, not many builders have ready access to one. Ours is so sharp, deburring the edge of the precision cut it produces is almost an option. At home though, I simply use my bandsaw and dress the edge of the stock on a 12" bench sander fitted with 80 grit paper. If need be, the corners then radiused and the edges polished on a bench grinder fitted with both medium and fine scothbrite wheels. To prolong the life of my bandsaw blades, on thick stock such as .125 angle stock and thicker, I use my chop (miter) saw fitted with a metal cutting blade but the cut it produces definitely requires touchup! In summary, I would suggest considering an investment in a heavy 12" bench sander such as this good value...I have two of these, one at the hangar, one at home...http://www.grizzly.com/products/G7297 because its under appreciated utility and unexpected versatility will serve you well in a variety of situations for years to come.

Last year, I flew approx. 30 hours with a TruTrak in a RV9A. It worked very well.
However, since that time, I purchased an EZ Pilot for my 6A, due to all the included
features,
such as the GPS readouts, turn indicator, 180 degree reversal, etc. IMO, and from
what many others
have said, they are both good units & interface to a panel or hand-held GPS easily.
Robin,
Consider a TRUTRAK. It will interface with the Navaid servo. You can order
it without the servo at a lower price. It is far superior to the TRIO imho.

Dick,
No doubt anyone with field experience with the new digital autopilots
will agree that TruTrak makes very nice equipment. Matter of fact, I fly
their AlTrak and it is superb in regard to doing what it is advertised
to do.
I am, however, intrigued by your opinion concerning the DigiTrak being
"far superior" to the EZ-Pilot. Since the EZ-Pilot offers much more in
the way of display information presented to the pilot than the DigiTrak,
there must be something in the way the DigiTrak performs in-flight that
compels you to make this assertion. I am very interested in hearing your
comments in this regard.
Since the EZ-Pilot in my RV-6 performs precisely as advertised, the
DigiTrak must be capable of some extraordinary performance. For the sake
of all us who are attempting to keep up with the advances in digital
autopilots, please provide your input as to how you have found the
DigiTrak to be far superior to the EZ-Pilot (and I suppose all other
systems since the digital units will out-perform analog systems) in
side-by-side comparisons.
Thank you in advance for your reply,
Sam Buchanan

I swapped my nav-aid head for the EZ-pilot and it has worked
perfectially. Before I was never sure which way the plane would go when I
turned the autopilot on. They are great people to work with and at S & F
they came out to my plane to try and help me figure out why it would not
couple with GPS, end result I needed one more wire coming from GPS.

I used a pair of hand shears. They have about three or four inch cutting
blades with about 9 or 10 inch handles.
they are rusty and old but fresh ground cutting edges. They cut
straight, true, and easy. They leave no marks or metal deforming like
those "Wiss Aviation" snips do. I guess they were old tinners shears. (
I think they are also Wiss) I followed up with a fine file down each
side for one or two strokes and it is smooth. I use them for 4130 steel
also up to about 25 or 30 thousands.

My favorite tool for this is now a "High Speed Air Body Saw" from Harbor
Freight, you can find them on sale for as low as $20! Here's the link:
http://tinyurl.com/dozj9.
It's got a nice thin kerf, zip through aluminum nicely, and can be scrolled
around like a jig saw but it's more controllable and faster.
Ya gotta have one of these in your toolbox! (and get some replacement
'Fine' blades, 5 for $8)

P.S. Please read people's questions first. I believe the original question
was posed as "other than bandsaw...", so of course he got about 12 replies
suggesting a bandsaw...

Hi Robin,
My EZ Pilot handles turbulence a lot better than the Navaid. I had to hand fly
the RV in more than real light turbulence. The Navaid would get behind and cause
some wild wing drops. The EZ Pilot does a way better job in turbulence and
I let it fly the plane most of the time. I also find myself using the gps
data on it instead of the gps so I turned the data windows off on the gps to give
myself more room on the gps screen for the moving map. (Garmin GPS III Pilot).
Got a Garmin 296 for Xmas so may change that when I get it mounted. The
EZ pilot uses the NMEA data from the GPS instead of a plus/minus 50 millivolt
analog signal that the Navaid uses so it knows a lot more about where you are
and turns the correct way to intercept the course. The adjustments are all done
in software on the unit, no little screws to turn like on the navaid. The
EZ pilot almost always tracks within 0.00 to 0.02 miles of the course. This
is way better than I could get with the Navaid. I also like the course offset
feature so I can fly 1/4 mile for example to the right of the course centerline.
I dont have the latest software updates so probably missing out on some of
the new features but I think it is definately worth upgrading from the Navaid.
Mine also included a patch cable to go between the EZ pilot head and the old
cable to the Navaid Head. Just had to add a couple of wires to it, I believe
so it was a real easy swap.

Tom Velvick

Couldn't hurt but there is more to it than simply humidity levels. Things like
the oil becoming acidic and other nasty items. Not to mention that dry startup
after sitting for extended periods.
You could roll your own with something like an aquarium air pump, some color changing silica from someplace like <http://www.veritemp.com/index.asp?cat=3D155549>, and some misc fittings for probably less than $30. If you want to improve on it you could have it pull the air from someplace like the breather tube and then pump it right back into the dipstick tube. A fairly closed circuit will probably make the silica crystals go a lot longer before recharge. You could get the 5lb jug from Veritemp and just put the fittings right into that. No need for an additional container.
Best thing for an engine is flying often. If it's going to sit for more than
30 days it should be pickled and then something like this would be just another
line of defense.

A week ago or so someone posted an RV8 for sale. It was freshly painted,
red, white and blue. Seller was asking $95-100 I think. Anyone remember
who was selling? and how to reach him/her? Thanks.

I have both the EZ pilot and the EZ-1 alt hold installed. Ez pilot is hooked to
296. I had some problems getting them going, but support was very good, and
they work as advertised. The wiring for the Alt hold definatly requires some skill,
but the EZ pilot has a mounting kit and wiring kit availible, Charlie Heathco

| Subject: | TIS Connect Select |
--> RV-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
From reading the Garmin GTX330 manual inside and out, it looks
as if when I want to display traffic on my Chelton system
that I might have to manually activate TIS by momentarily
taking pin 46 "TIS CONNECT SELECT" to ground. If I were
displaying traffic on a GNS480, this would be handled
by the GNS480 by that unit signalling the GTX330 to "log in"
to TIS. I'm assuming that since I'm using a special converter
to interface the GTX330 to my Chelton that this function is
something I have to do manually.
Is there anyone out there who can verify the operation of
that transponder using that signal?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

The ribs in my empennege kit, at least the HS ribs, all came pre-fluted. I did
not think this was the norm - is it?? The job was done well enough that no additional
work was necessary.

I have a GTX330 interfaced to a GPS396, and wondered the same thing. Turns
out it works okay with the input left floating, despite what the pin
description says. The tech rep from Garmin knew only slightly more than
the manual, and advised me to "just try it".
BTW, the revision of 396 software that came out in December (2.80) is the
first one that actually worked to display traffic. Prior calls to Garmin
were useless, as they claimed that it worked fine, and I must have a wiring
problem. This is one wire, and pretty hard to do wrong. I wish they would
have just said it didn't function properly yet and they were working on
it. Would have saved a lot of anxiety about spending $2K extra on a
transponder.
Despite the six month wait, it does seem to work fine.

Thanks for taking the time to reply so quick Stan, this kind
of info is really valuable and hard to find. Nothing on google
was helpful at all. So you're having good luck just letting
it float. I'll just leave mine that way for a while then
and see how that works, unless others come back with
some experience that showed they really needed to have it
connected. You are just what I was hoping to find though...
someone who actually used the TIS and hooked it up on
their own.

Hi Paul,
I bought my tail kit about a year ago. Definitely not pre-fluted. I can't
imagine that they would take the time to do that. ? Pre-owned kit?
