(Ted French) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:24:50 AM PST US From: "Ron Schreck" Subject: RV-List: Re: Sealing tank inspection covers --> RV-List message posted by: "Ron Schreck" I originally sealed my tanks almost three years before first flight. When I took the covers off to do the SB the Titeseal was just as pliable as the day I applied it. I could have used the gaskets again but opted for new gaskets as cheap insurance. Ron Schreck RV-8 "Miss Izzy" Gold Hill Airpark, NC --> RV-List message posted by: "Bob Collins" Since my tanks won't be filled for a couple of years (at least, at this rate), is there any problem with using Titeseal now. Is there any problem,for example, with cork drying out and affcting it, etc. etc.? Oh by the way,unrelated items, Darwin Barrie has a great article on aircraft painting which I stuck in this Week's RV Builder's Hotline. http://home.comcast.net/~rvnewsletter/index.htm Do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:36:51 AM PST US From: Charlie Kuss Subject: RV-List: Rotorway Exec 90 helicopter for sale --> RV-List message posted by: Charlie Kuss Listers, A friend has asked that I let you know about a Rotorway Exec 90 kit built helicopter for sale. The owner/builder of the helicopter died in a motorcycle accident 3 years ago. His widow has decided to sell off all his toys, including this helicopter. The kit was finished and flown about 3.5 to 4 years ago. It is currently partially disassembled. The tail boom and instrument panel are apart. For more information please contact Cindy at (954)648-6569 Charlie Kuss ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:42:00 PM PST US From: "Curt Welge" Subject: Re: RV-List: Hangar Question - More Info --> RV-List message posted by: "Curt Welge" Jeff, Sorry to hear you gave up on you dream hangar and house up near Chicago. You should move down to southern IL and live the dream. Got the house and hangar, now working on the plane.. RV7QB. I went with the Hydroswing door. 54' X 16' door on a 60 X 50 hangar. It should hold a few toys. If only they would build pure lines again STL RFD. Come on down to 3K6 some weekend and show off your RV. We have great BBQ's down here.

I have read that the 296 can set the com freqs automatically on the SL30. If so can someone give me the direction for hooking this up and making it work? I also heard that it can be hooked up to the Garmin audio panel and give verbal terrain avoidance warning. How does that get hooked up?

You need a special garmin cable that plugs into the power port on the back and has loose wires coming out. That is for the connection to the SL30. The audio warning is done by a 1/8" stereo jack that is on the back lower corner of the unit. You can wire that to an unswitched audio on your audio panel, or if your audio panel has a 1/8" input jack, you can just get a 1/8" to 1/8" cable and plug that in. I found the terrain feature kind of annoying because it tells you to "pull up" even if you are landing at your destination airport! She get's quite frustrated and says "pull up, pull up!" in an ever increasing urgency in her voice!

The information will be there but it will also be there with the VHF output. You will need to talk to the autopilot manufacturer on that. The SL 30 will see the VHF out and be able to switch that information. ----------- Kevin Looking at the menu in the 296, the NMEA and VHF out can be both set at the same time on either port. Will the autopilot and the SL-30 not be able to differentiate between the communications which are meant for them. The reason I'm asking, is that the interface wiring to my panel will be simpler if I can use just the one port. Thanks Ted ----------- Thank you for contacting Garmin International You will need to use the second com port to use both functions. You will need to set one com port to VHF com out and then the other to NMEA out. This should allow you to run both the autopilot and the SL30 together. If I use the 296 to run an autopilot, can I use the same serial output for both A/P and freq setting on the SL-30, or do I need to use the second serial output for one of them...? Ted ----------- Thank you for contacting Garmin International You will use the power data cable out of the back of the 296. You will then change the output in the interface section to 'Aviation In/NMEA & VHF Out' and tie the cable into the input option of the SL30. Once this is done then you can change channels by selecting the frequencies from the waypoint page. ----------- Problem: It is my understanding that the GPSMAP296 is now able to set the frequency in the SL30 comm. Can you tell me which output is used for this feature. I am building aan RV-10 and need the info to wire the panel... Thanks Ted --Not sure about the audio...
