I have added a trio to my RV-6 and ran a wire from the trio to the vicini
ty
of the GPS (GX-60 with MX-20). The problem is my panel was wired up
proffessionally on the bench and the wires are all neatly tied and it is
real nice. I can't tell which wire is the one I am needing to cut and ti
e
into. I really hate to cut this bundle all up.
I know which pin # it is on the GX-60 and on the MX-20. I do not have th
e
confidence to tear into this. I hear people on this list talk about this
like it is a simple thing. What do you all know that I don't? If I pull
the radio out of it's box, would I be able to see the back and pull on a
wire?

AB-DAR George Hanna flew from Colorado to Bozeman in is RV-6 yesterday to do the
inspection on my 7A (He is the closest DAR to Montana). Believe it or not the
FSDO in Helena needed 3-6 months to do my inspection. After 5 years and 2 months
of building, head scratching and the occasional cursing I said, "Forget
that!" So I hired George to fly up and do the deed. After two hours of poring
over the airplane he finally gave up trying to find something wrong.
This morning I proved the point that large sums of cash can make 1070 lbs. of aluminum,
fiber glass and steel fly under its own power. She handled well and
a small amount of aileron trim allowed her to fly hands-off. I have some high
oil temps (235) so I definitely need to work on directing better air flow through
the cooler. CHT's stabilized around 400 which is also a little on the high
side but it is a new engine running straight mineral oil. The airplane is
equiped with an 0-360-A2A from AeroSport Power and an 85 inch pitch Sensenich
cruise prop. Despite the warm temps and 5000 ft field elevation, takeoff performance
with the cruise prop was no problem. I know I need to run it hard the
first few hours to seat the rings but because of the higher temps I had throttled
back to 2200 to 2300 and was still showing 140 kts on the GPS without gear
leg fairings or wheel pants. After some tweaking under the cowling I'll see
if I can run it harder and still keep the temps reaso
nable. Any advice on CHT and oil temp control is welcome.

Congratulations!
On the oil temp, the first thing I would do (if you haven't already) is
calibrate the oil temp probe in some boiling water, to make sure it is
accurate. Beyond that, we'll need some more details on your cooling
setup to troubleshoot.

You need to get to the rear of the GX60 to remove the pin from the
connector. I had to cut into some of the ties holding my wires together to
get the the pin in the connector. I used a pin (contact) removal tool that
I purchased from Stein Air to remove contact #5 from the connector. I then
fabricated a "Y" adapter with male and female contacts to splice into the
wire. I have the connector contacts, and tools to do this. I had the wire
from GX60 Pin 5 to the SL30 and the wire from Pin 20 running from the GPS to
the AP. The GX60 will only allow one of the serial ports to be programed as
MAP. MAP is what is needed for the Trio AP.
My Trio worked with the GPS signal right out of the box on a test before I
did the calibrations.
If you were local, I would lend a hand. This is something that if you are
not familiar with wiring connectors, could be over your head.

Hi Gary, I wish you were local also as I am very intimidated by this. H
ere
is the message I received from trio quite some time back.
>> from Chuck Busch at Trio
I just went through the installation manuals on the GX- 60 an MX-20 devic
es
and verified the data formats and electrical interfaces.
My research indicates that the MX 20 and EZ Pilot need to share the same
data line, serial port 1, which is on pin 5 of the 37 pin GX-60 connecto
r.
This pin will interface to the EZ Pilot pin 7. The common data return is
pin 3. You do not have to connect the data return (GX 60 pin 3 to EZ Pil
ot
pin 10) since the main power ground will provide this return path.
The MX-20 needs to have the serial port 1 TX format selected as "MovMap"
with the extended moving map option activated. My evaluation of the data
is
that it wil be compatible with the EZ Pilot as the "extended" data is
appended to the normal moving map data and the EZ Pilot will just discard
this as irrevelant data.. If you currently have the MX-20 set up, you do
not need to do anything else with the serial output format. You will,
however, need to change the CDI scaling to "manual" and 5.00 NM scaling.
The attached PDF details the steps to do this. <<
Is this in confirmation of how you hooked yours up? You mentioned hooki
ng
pin 20 to the auto pilot. Sounds like I need to obtain a tool to remove t
he
pin. Ralph mentioned one from Radio Shack. Can either of you mention wh
at
it is called? I will obtain one. I had thought I could just locate the
wire and cut it to splice into it with a solder and heat shrink splice.
Sounded like from the comments above that they would just share this data
=2E
Thanks both of you for your help

Subject: RV-List: Checking air in tires
As many of you know some of the aircraft tires and tubes need frequent
checking for correct air pressure. With wheel fairings installed that
job is not done quickly or easily.
Found a 6 inch flexible rubber extension for checking air pressure in
tires that makes the job a bit easier when wheel fairings are installed.
The extension is sold at NAPA stores, and others I'm sure, for
connections to the inner tire on a dual wheel arrangement for trucks. I
had been using a 6 inch straight steel adapter sold by one of the tool
suppliers to the RV crowd, that required rather precise alignment of the
tire valve with the port in the wheel fairing to get the adapter on the
valve. Which is a chore when doing this alone. The flexible extension
doesn't require as precise alignment and with a mark on the tire showing
the valve location it is working much better.

Way to go Joel. Enjoy the flights and your plane. How is that grin
anyway?
You still have a lot of testing work to do during the next 39.5 hours
and if you are anything close to average, you will find some small set
backs as you progress through the testing. I hope you do not rush
through the 40 hours just putting on hours to just get r done. Review
the EAA materials and you will find lots of test flight stuff if you
need to take a look at it. Best wishes. ( There is always next year
for flying to O when it will be much safer for everyone.)
ON HEAT ISSUE: I had some debris between the fins on the cylinders near
the spark plugs that was not allowing air to pass through easily and had
to file/clean this away.

Hello there list folk. I have just started building an RV-9A and have my web
site is up. I welcome all comments and cautions. I'm presently working on
my Horizontal Stabilizer and have built a gyrocopter before this project. Yes,
I know that gyros are considered a bit of a perversion but please know I'm
a fixed wing kind of guy with this one oddness...

......... are you able to add air using the flexible rubber extension?
Yes, the ends are just like the ridget one. One end threads onto the
tire valve. The other end has a valve core fitting.

....... put a thin vertical line on the tire (rim to ground).
Thanks John but I already have the tires marked for the valve location.
Still required small movements of the airplane to get the metal
extension on. The flexible extension just doesn't require the precise
alignment. Maybe your ports in the firings are bigger then mine.

Subject: RV-List: N557XW Flies
AB-DAR George Hanna flew from Colorado to Bozeman in is RV-6 yesterday
to do the inspection on my 7A (He is the closest DAR to Montana).
Believe it or not the FSDO in Helena needed 3-6 months to do my
inspection. After 5 years and 2 months of building, head scratching and
the occasional cursing I said, "Forget that!" So I hired George to fly
up and do the deed. After two hours of poring over the airplane he
finally gave up trying to find something wrong.
This morning I proved the point that large sums of cash can make 1070
lbs. of aluminum, fiber glass and steel fly under its own power. She
handled well and a small amount of aileron trim allowed her to fly
hands-off. I have some high oil temps (235) so I definitely need to
work on directing better air flow through the cooler. CHT's stabilized
around 400 which is also a little on the high side but it is a new
engine running straight mineral oil. The airplane is equiped with an
0-360-A2A from AeroSport Power and an 85 inch pitch Sensenich cruise
prop. Despite the warm temps and 5000 ft field elevation, takeoff
performance with the cruise prop was no problem. I know I need to run
it hard the first few hours to seat the rings but because of the higher
temps I had throttled back to 2200 to 2300 and was still showing 140 kts
on the GPS without gear leg fairings or wheel pants. After some
tweaking under the cowling I'll see if I can run it harder and still
keep the temps reasonable. Any advice on CHT and oil temp contro l is
welcome.
Only 39.5 Phase I hours to go before Oshkosh.
