So then what is the arrow pointing to?

The way to do what you are wanting to do is after you are done with your
side trips is to hit the direct to button, it will update your course
and give you the current course to where you are going. If you enter a
flight plan, it will always have the original plan in there and will
give you directions to intercept that course, so it is working as
programmed, you are just having to much fun of course for it!

It's showing that I'm left or right of what the direct course would have
been, either because I detoured around terrain or because the RV is just
so much fun to fly that we'll play around a bit on the way to where
we're going.
But that shouldn't matter. At least it didn't with the Garmin 90. I
know this may be heresy to some, but I don't really care where I am
relative to what the straight line course would have been. I only care
where my destination is relative to where I'm at now. I'd like to trust
that when the GPS is locked into an official airport identifier that
that's where its going to point to.
I can always beg forgiveness from the chief pilot (my wife) or the
accountant (my wife) later for burning too much fuel or spending to much
time flying.
Stein says just fly with the map page instead. That may well be what I
have to do, but I'll miss the simplicity of just following the little
arrow.

You can "follow" the arrow and still be left/right of course.
Are the top middle and bottom of the arrow all aligned? Or is the

are right of the direct course?

Subject: RV-List: Garmin 196 help
I just installed a Garmin 196 in place of my old
Garmin 90. I liked the 90. It did everything I wanted it to do
perfectly and simply for day VFR navigation. Just enter where you want
to go and follow the arrow and it always took me right over the center
of the destination airport. (I never used the map page) The only
reason I gave it up was because the database was 5-6 years old and I
couldn't get an update.
So, I bought a 196. With all the raving about
it here and on other web sites, I looked forward to seeing how great it
really was. (for what I use it for I couldn't imagine how it could be
any better, but at least its updated with the new maps and AFDs)
Bottom line is the 196 has a really bad quirk
that I don't like at all, enough that if I can't find a solution I'm
going to pull it out and reinstall the relic 90. Following the arrow to
a destination works great from a distance, but when I get within about
10-15 miles from the destination the arrow starts to skew over one way
or the other. In other words the arrow says that the destination is 30
degrees over to the right, but I know the airport is straight ahead over
the ridge. As I get closer, this displacement gets worse and worse. If
I pass the airport the 196 does no correct. It keeps telling me to go
straight or in the completely wrong direction. If I pass the airport
with the 90, the arrow points to the tail, tells me to turn around and
then guides you directly there, just like it should. This was an issue
flying into Craig, CO a little while ago. I was unfamiliar with the
area, so I trusted and followed the 196, right past town with the Garmin
telling me to keep flying straight. I had to climb a couple thousand
feet for a better view, circle around, and find the airport the old
fashioned way.
My question is for others flying a 196. Does
yours do the same thing, or does your heading indicator trustfully point
to your destination from wherever you are and from whatever direction
your nose is pointed? Or, do I have a bad unit? Or do I need to
somehow program out this glitch, or do I not know what I'm doing and
need some dummy's book on how to use a GPS?

I have my 196 set up to show Turn as one of the displayed fields on the map
page, which is much more useful than the arrow. It will tell you exactly
how much left or right to turn to stay on course. For normal flying I
prefer the 196 over the 396, a transflective monochrome display is much
easier to read in the bright cockpit of an RV. Less glare also. I'd love
to see a monochrome version of the 396.

I just talked to the avionics shop in Huntsville, AL, and they want to
remove my EFIS to perform the IFR checks. I would prefer that they
bring the test equipment to the plane to minimize damage to the panel.
Has anyone had good experiences with shops that performed tests at the
plane? Any recommendations for a shop within a reasonable distance of
Birmingham, AL?

| Subject: | Re: Pitot/Static Check of EFIS |
If you are referring to an IFR pitot/ static test, then the unit should
not be removed from the panel. The test is of the entire system, not
just the EFIS, so must be made with the unit in the plane.
I'm not local so I can't recommend anyone, but there are plenty of shops
that will do your check at the airplane, and the price should be in the
$200-250 range.

| Subject: | Rocky Mountain route: Noob question |
I'm part of the gaggle from the SouthEast RV group headed to Yellowstone
this weekend. I have no mountain flying experience save what little you get
living and flying in the Appalachians the past 15 years.
I plan to return home to Virginia via the Grand Canyon and Albuquerque,
Dodge City, KS, St. Loiuis, MO and eastbound from there. My question
pertains mostly to getting from Cody to Flagstaff.
This route looks promising, but I seek input from RVers who know this area:
KCOD;KRIW;KRKS;U34;KHVE;KPGA.
I'm not sure how easy the Green River is to fly down to get to U34, but if
it's a decent pass, then the highest terrain I should see enroute looks to
be 9500' in the vicinity of Rock Springs, WY.
Leaving the Grand Canyon area via KPGA;KFMN;KABQ;KDDC looks like an
effortless way out to the east.
I have oxygen available, and a 160hp FP RV6A that I've never taken above
11500 MSL. Naturally, everything's weather dependent, but I'm hoping with 6
days allocated for getting home from KCOD that this leg will be as doable as
getting to Cody is. If you're a local, or a veteran aviator in the _real_
mountains, please chime in, here or off-list. I want to play this smart and
safe. I've done the AOPA online instructional course, seen the FAA movies
on mountain flying, and "read the book," BTW.

I was wondering if anyone ran their breather tube into the exhaust. I have

Any thoughts?

Daniel, I'm forwarding your inquiry to the TVRVBG email list with a
request that one of the members reply to you with contact info for Steve
Gray at Moontown Airport (3M5) just east Huntsville. He can do the
pitot-static inspection and you can taxi your plane to his hangar. The
check needs to be with equipment in the plane so the entire pitot system
is involved in the certification.
By the way, Moontown is an airport you *must* include on your favorite
places list. Be sure to visit on the third Saturday for breakfast, its
not unusual to have at least a dozen RVs fly in along with 30-40 other
planes.

IF it is done correctly, then you create a vacuum in the crankcase which
in turn reduces windage losses and therefore increases Horsepower. The
exhaust system becomes your venturi to create the vacuum, while at the
same time burning the oil vapor coming our of the breather. do not

Preliminary look is that it is low for an RV. I would plan on flying
high using
oxygen because in some areas the terrain is not conducive to an
off-field landing.
Will assess it more later. PS, 11,500' is my typical LOW flying
altitude.

| Subject: | Breather run into exhaust |
I have a Sonerai with a breather run out the tail. The builder put a
bulkhead fitting with hose barb ends in the firewall and ran a plastic tube
all the way through the fusalage and has it coming out right over the
tailwheel. You just plug the breather tube from the engine into the fitting
on the firewall and the oily belly problem is gone forever. I really like
the setup and will put it in on all my future planes. It is easy to do,
effective, and adds very little cost or weight.

I fly mostly aerobatics in my RV with inverted oil system. I vent
into exhaust and I never had any problems.

Mike, exhaust venting is the way to go for a clean belly. There are seve
ral kits available to do this. Mr Gasket comes to mind and I use that on
e, it comes with a steel check valve to prevent any blowback into the cr
ankcase. The kit comes with two of them but I only use one in my applica
tions so I have a spare. It's yours for the cost of freight, probably 5
bucks or so. Contact me at my web site if interested..

Do you have a G396. G496, or other XM weather system? The wx can change
dramatically throughout the day out west (including wind/turbulence), and
bailout airports are sometimes further apart and/or on the other side of
adjacent terrain. Perhaps not a requirement, but certainly a "nice to
have", especially when traversing long distances.

Mike, exhaust venting is the way to go for a clean belly. There are
several kits available to do this. Mr Gasket comes to mind and I use
that one, it comes with a steel check valve to prevent any blowback into
the crankcase. The kit comes with two of them but I only use one in my

Do not let the low price of the Lowrance 2000C fool you, it is a very

They have a long history of free or near free updates, when new
technology becomes available. They recently added terrain warning as a
free software upgrade.
Rumor has it XM weather is next.

I exit my breather exhaust within about an inch of my exhaust pipe but
still get an oily belly. Does this system directly tie into the exhaust?
I also disconnected the return line from the seperator to the oil fill
and ran it to the other exhaust. I dont think I need the few drops of
sludge going back into my engine.

Aviation Consumer just went through a portable GPS review. They liked
the Lowrance 600c at the low end, the Lowrance 200c at the mid level
price (~$1,000), and the Garmin 396 if you need XM weather.

Aviation Consumer did a review this month. They put the Garmin 496 on top
but thought the Lowrance AirMap 200C was excellent for much less money.
There were several good ones in between. See the article for the details.

And if you *really* want a big bang for the buck, and a b/w display will
work for you (works great under our RV canopies; the brighter the light,
the better it looks), check out the Lowrance Airmap 1000:
http://www.avionicswest.com/airmap1000.htm#2003
Avionics West has it for $499.00.
I've been flying a 1000 for over a year and really like it.

By that I meant that the RV can get well above terrain easily.
One suggestion. From U34, consider heading to Monument Valley.
Around 110 degrees, 10 minutes west and 37 degrees, 3 minutes north.
Then head west just south of Navajo Mountain to Page.
Disregard, Do that on your flight from Page to FMN. Less out of your
way
and most likely earlier in the day. Then circle around four corners
(Utah, NM, CO, AZ). You will see Shiprock NM almost straight ahead on
your way to FMN.
>From there you can head to Santa Fe (KSAF) then pick up the expressway
eastbound south of Las Vegas NM (KLVS) then on east. If you are feeling
adventurous, direct from KSAF to KLVS would get you over some
mountains with lower terrain to your right. No need to go south to ABQ
unless
you want to but you are close when near KSAF.
Miami Co Kansas (K81) had cheap fuel and good BBQ on field when I was
there a year ago if that is on your way.

Last week I flew from Longmont (just north of Denver ) direct to Las Vegas in my
6A. 13'500 over the continental divide and the remainder of the route and area
north can be handled at 11"500. Easy flight in an RV, I agree though mornings
will help you avoid thunderstorms that we get off the mountains almost every
afternoon.

This may sway you Ken, as well as the other recommedataion for the
2000c. The list price is not what you will pay. You can get a 2000c
for just under $700.00. IMHO, major bang-age for the buck.
Sam, I had a 1000 in my 6A and could not read the thing. I had it flush
mounted just to the left of my center of view and I was catching myself
scrunching down and leaning over to see it at all. Reflection from my
shirt was a problem as well. I put the 2000c in the same slot and boy
oh boy what a difference. MUCH more readable for me. Could be a
function of where it was mounted, but I just could not read the 1000.

Dear Listers,
I am ready to order a GPS for my Zenith CH701. My dilemma is what to
get. I have reduced the affordable units to three:
- Garmin GPS 296 $1,495
- Lowrance 200C $999
- AvMap EKP-IVC $1,495
Your comments are appreciated. If you have flown with any, please
indicate your experience.
Regards,
Ken Arnold

Another option to get a bit of a feel for the Rockies is once you
pass four corners, head east to Pagosa Springs (KPSO), previously 2V1.
Then go over Wolf Creek Pass just a bit left of a direct line from KPSO
to
Del Norte (8V1).
Then a direct line from 8V1 to La Junta CO (KLHX) will take you over the
Great Sand Dunes National Monument. Fly over the passes there and east
to
flat country.

David how are you checking the accuracy? I have the same set up and I
stick my tanks before flying to check the fuel level and the level on
the monitor and I would not call the accuracy amazing.

there is positive pressure in the crank case if you can neutralize that
pressure the internal rotating parts will spin free ... resulting in free horse
power. the exhaust can create a lot of suction and actually suck oil from the
crank case ... be careful.
on a pumped up / modified I0-360 with a 4 into 1 exhaust i used a
stainless 1/2 in tube welded into the collector at 45 degree angle ... plus ...
a
metered 'pill' to get the correct vacuum pressure. i monitored oil
consumption changing the orifice size until oil consumption was normal. the house
power
increase was the most notable of all previous mods.
yes ... a poor mans smoke system but no more oil on the belly ... do it!
lots of acro guys do ...

Sorry to see the 1000 didn't work out for you, Jeff. I assume you tried
adjusting the display settings....
The unit has been very readable in my plane, even for the passenger. The
other pilots in our area with the Airmap 1000 have been very pleased
with all aspects of the box. There are other GPS's with more features
(color, weather) but the 1000 is a great unit for the price, and my eyes
appreciate the big display (even bigger than the 2000C).
It is puzzling why you had viewing problems with your 1000, but glad the
2000C is working for you.
