    Subject: Re: Fast Stack
    I'm really happy with my Approach Fast Stack System. I installed it when I had to replace my transponder and altitude encoder. With eventual plans to add more to it if/when I can afford the Garmin 430 I really want. Right now my audio panel, com and nav radios are all still with their original wiring. I'd have to switch them all over all at once as they are all interconnected. But the transponder/altitude encoder is its own system. Wiring the new transponder and encoder probably took me less than 2 hrs including installing the hub. It's REALLY simple. You can order the wires at the lengths you want. I was surprised that they can be rather short. Extra length has to get "coiled" somewhere and is a bit messy, that's the only real downside of the system in my opinion (i.e. a nicely done wiring harness will look prettier). But if you have plans to upgrade/change things out in the future, the Fast Stack is the only way to go in my opinion. As was already mentioned, you do have some pigtails to connect, i.e. ground, power, instrument lights/dimmer, etc, but it way simpler than doing the wiring the hard way. You'll definitely want to figure out where you'll put the hub before ordering. I measured and found a spot that would work for my plane. I'm sure every panel is different enough that you'll have to figure out what will work for your plane. ...Jason KIS TR-1c (w/ the Approach Fast Stack) RV-8 (building...wings) On Jun 24, 2008, at 9:38 AM, bert murillo wrote: Hi: I am thinking of Installing, or changing to the" Approach Fast Stack System" maybe th8is way I can get read of the communications problem I have with my King 120..

How about the "HUB" where do you hold that,,,fabricate a bracket then where... is almost no room right now for me... The wires are 24 inches are they long enough to reach Radio Transponder etc...?

    Subject: Ethanol experience?

We had a few expert guests on the show with some very good information.

Been using it in my -4 for about 5 or 6 years (I think), summer and winter. Less fouling and easier winter starting. Runs fine. Having issues with the 19 year old tanks though.
