I have an all glass IFR panel in my RV-10 and love it. You can see it
at:
http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=panelinstalled1bl4.jpg
It is a three screen Grand Rapids system with weather overlay and I love
it. The center glass screen is a sport model with it's own AHRS for
backup.
As far as backup batteries as long as you can identify a battery or
alternator failure they are somewhat unnecessary. The amount of amps
drawn by a single EFIS system and an autopilot is so small that you can
do an IFR let down on your main battery with little problems.
I went ahead and put an SD-8 backup on my engine as a backup to the
alternator just to be on the safe side however.

A thought/scenario. If you had some sort of electrical fire (smoke, serious
smell, etc), and were unsure of the source, and wanted to shutdown the
alternator(s) and master(s), what would be left? Seems that having a small,
local, dedicated stby battery attached to an attitude instrument would be
helpful (necessary) in IMC - especially if you plan on flying high enough
that it takes several minutes (or longer) to descent to safety. Assuming of
course that stby instrument is not the original smoke problem.

Nice panel. I have a stupid question, if you're flying along in solid
IMC
and all of a sudden one of your EFIS says you're turning right and the
other
says you're turning left, on which one do you bet your life?

I went with multiple brands, on the idea that any hardware or software
problems with one brand would not show up in the second brand. I chose
Blue Mountain as primary and Grand Rapids as secondary. I also later ended
up getting a Dynon as third, instead of a turn coordinator. Whether this
turns out to be better than, say, a dual screen, dual AHRS GRT with TruTrak
A/P remains to be discovered. See avionics pages for details

Subject: RV-List: Glass for IFR
Guys and Gals,
I'm starting to plan out my avionics. I'm leaning toward an all glass
panel - IFR legal. I'm considering a couple of Dynon's with backup
batteries. I've brainstormed (to the best of my abilities) all the possible
ways I could get myself into trouble. With backup batteries in each dynon
I'm "relatively" safe from a total electrical failure. Also, if I lose one
EFIS...I'll switch to the other dynon for flight data.
Looking for some advice and recommendations... what I'm I overlooking
or not considering?
Thanks
John

This thought, as well as the previous one from Rick Gray, are, IMHO, a good
reason for a third display. My thinking was that by not buying a turn
coordinator, 1/2 of a Dynon is already paid for. Its small and
self-contained. And it has its own internal battery, so you can shut down
all else, and it will still work.

I purchased a Superior XP 360, with fuel injection, front induction Airflow
Performance. Duel LightSpeed electronic ignition. It came with a Light
weight Skytec, PM. Because of all the problems with kick back and the battle
between Skytec and Light Speed, I call Skytec returned my Light weight PM

I also had the FAB inlet induction. Result it did not fit. I had to

My Superior O360 was delivered with a Skytech lightweight starter. At around
10
hours of operation, I noticed chipped teeth on the ring gear. A couple of
starts
later it jammed completely. Replaced the ring gear, had engineer check
everything...
next two starts chipped the new ring gear.
Installed borrowed B&C and returned original starter to Skytech. Now over 50
hours,
and 7 months later, no contact from Skytech and the old B&C has never missed
a beat. YMMV

The B&C starter does not clear the induction air duct for the front
mounted servo. It may be possible modify the fibreglas duct to fit
around the B&C starter.

I've been watching the comments, though I'm looking at my decision in
the rear view mirror. It seems the SkyTec is a good new product and the
B&C is a good old product. Both things being (almost) equal, I bought a
B&C, though I'm sure either would have done equally well. I'll be glad
to get rid of the Lamar PM starter for all the reasons discussed--not a
Lamar problem as much a PM problem. In a Velo, with the battery in the
tippy-nose and the engine in the...well I guess there is no tail---but
way back there---there's little point in having the big inrush for a PM
starter running through a long wire to spin the 540. Fortunately, there
are no clearance problems so I'm hoping I'm good to go. Thanks though,
for the feed back by all.

I regularly fly out of GTU. It's really not that busy. Yes, they are

a control tower, but everyone who flies there are pretty safe. A flight
school,
and some charter planes now and then. Gas prices are ok, no food on the

No tie down fees. Hangars are a premium there, but I never really looked
into an of the RV's that may be in the area. Otherwise, if it's near your

it's a good airport. Crossing runways, all in great condition, etc.

My Superior O360 was delivered with a Skytech lightweight starter. At around
10
hours of operation, I noticed chipped teeth on the ring gear. A couple of
starts
later it jammed completely. Replaced the ring gear, had engineer check
everything...
next two starts chipped the new ring gear.
Installed borrowed B&C and returned original starter to Skytech. Now over 50
hours,
and 7 months later, no contact from Skytech and the old B&C has never missed
a beat. YMMV

The B&C starter does not clear the induction air duct for the front
mounted servo. It may be possible modify the fibreglas duct to fit
around the B&C starter.

Everyone might want to keep in mind that Chuck was asking for a
comparison of the series wound starters NOT the PM style. While a lot
of people have had problems with the PM Skytec's, I don't know of anyone
that has had a problem with the SW.

Michael,
That's true. But I have a PM Skytec and would like to know if I can
directly
replace it with one of the wound rotor starters. I have already been told
in
this thread that the B&C will not fit my front servo fuel injected IO-360
FAB
induction box. Now the question is, will the Skytec wound rotor Inline
starter fit the induction box without modification?
Sorry if this is too far off topic, Chuck. You know there are no simple
answers!
Thanks,

Where you located? Maybe someone around you that has a SW they
haven't installed yet can come by and help you find out. I said earlier
that I don't know of anyone that has had a problem with the Skytec NL
but I would be interested in hearing if someone has.

I've been watching the comments, though I'm looking at my decision in
the rear view mirror. It seems the SkyTec is a good new product and the
B&C is a good old product. Both things being (almost) equal, I bought a
B&C, though I'm sure either would have done equally well. I'll be glad
to get rid of the Lamar PM starter for all the reasons discussed--not a
Lamar problem as much a PM problem. In a Velo, with the battery in the
tippy-nose and the engine in the...well I guess there is no tail---but
way back there---there's little point in having the big inrush for a PM
starter running through a long wire to spin the 540. Fortunately, there
are no clearance problems so I'm hoping I'm good to go. Thanks though,
for the feed back by all.

Subject: Re: RV-List: Austin-area airport recommendations?
I regularly fly out of GTU. It's really not that busy. Yes, they are
getting
a control tower, but everyone who flies there are pretty safe. A flight
school,
and some charter planes now and then. Gas prices are ok, no food on the
field.
No tie down fees. Hangars are a premium there, but I never really looked
into an of the RV's that may be in the area. Otherwise, if it's near your
destination,
it's a good airport. Crossing runways, all in great condition, etc.

My high quality Bob Snedaker (Fairings-etc.) upper nose gear intersection fairing
is held in place by 2 #6 screws. The nutplates are attached to bits of aluminum
attached to the lower cowl. The fairing sits in a recess of built-up filler
producing a smooth transition with the lower cowl. To remove the lower
cowl, I just remove the 2 screws holding the fairing in place and let the fairing
slide down and out of the way on the leg fairing.
