    Subject: TruTrak DFC 250 AS For Sale
    From: "John Tvedte" <johnt@comp-sol.com>
    I have a TruTrak DFC 250 AS autopilot for sale. I am going to upgrade it - and TruTrak will give me $2,175 in trade credit. I thought someone that didn't care about GPSV might be interested in it. I'll provide a new tray - and it will have the latest software and hardware updates from TruTrak. Servos would still need to be purchased from TruTrak for your particular aircraft - approx. $2,200. I'm not trying to make money on it - just thought someone would like almost all the features that TruTrak offers for about half price. First $2,175 gets it. The operating manual can be found here: http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/documents/DFCOperatingManual.pdf The installation manual can be found here: http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/documents/DFCInstallManual.pdf John Tvedte do not archive

    Subject: Dynon tach setting...
    I have to adjust my Dynon tach setting but until I get my hands on a tach meter I won't know if the setting is just right. I currently have it at "2" but Dynon tech support says that you can actually set it at helf steps like 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc... So my question is just to see if my fellow Dynon engine monitor RVers can tell me what they have it set at. I realize it is different if you have electronic mags or 6 vs. 4 cylinders. I have an IO-390 (4 cylinder) which should put out the same number of pulses as the IO-360. If you have a similar engine, can you tell me what yours is set at? I will get a tach meter in the next couple days to get mine set just right, but my curiosity is killing me! You can e-mail me direct or post it here. Travis RV-7A (1st flight yesterday!!)

    It took me about 400 of the best building hours during the entire project to build my fuselage up to the QB stage. If you build it, you have a lot more flexibilty on how to do things, such as leaving off certain panels until other things are added, or adding your own stuff not in the plans, eg adding conduit (for wiring) to various sections of the fueslage. If you want to save money and time, buy a flying RV. I doubt that I could sell mine for what I put into it!

    Bob, I've been watching the prices of the 6's rise steadily for years to the point they surpass the price of a used Hi Perfomance Certified A/C. The days of the 30-50K RV are gone. Unless the price reflects a sacrifice sale, I'll have settle for the "Tickle Method" for aquiring mine. I've come close to buying a '3' several times, but it'd be a tight fit for my 118lb frame with the wife tagging along. Both you and Dean make sense.... It's time to start throwing the furniture on the fire to keep it going. Thanks Reggie. >From: Bob <panamared5@brier.net> >To: rv-list@matronics.com >Subject: Re: RV-List: Time or Money >Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:30:35 -0500 > > >It took me about 400 of the best building hours during the entire project >to build my fuselage up to the QB stage.
