    The BIG and HIGH PRICE update from Garmin is as follows: The Shakeup Continues: Garmin Announces G900X For Experimentals Garmin Casting Its Net A LOT Wider Continuing its major product announcements Sunday at AirVenture 2006, Garmin filled ANN in on its new G900X avionics suite, which will be available on a number of leading homebuilt aircraft -- including Lancair's IV/IV-P and ES/ES-P, and Van's RV-10, RV-9/9A, and RV-7/7A. This is the first time Garmin has offered an all-glass panel for homebuilt airframes. "The G900X is a highly reliable system that dramatically increases safety of flight and situational awareness," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing. "We are confident that our industry-leading technology and core principles -- commitment to quality, reliability, service, and value -- will make the G900X an extremely popular avionics suite with kitplane owners." The G900X integrates all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, surveillance, weather, and engine sensor data into two 10.4-inch, high-definition LCDs. The color TFT displays on the G900X suite boast XGA (1,024x768-pixel) resolution with wide viewing angles. Customized brackets will help simplify the assembly process and allow homebuilders to install sensitive instruments with the assurance that the Garmin G900X certified distributor will approve the installation. The G900X distributor-supplied installation package also includes the wiring harness and installation drawings. The following G900X system components will be available for Lancair and Van's owners and builders: a.. The primary flight display (PFD) to replace many of the traditional cockpit instruments. The G900X presents this information in an integrated fashion on a large-format display, and the multi-function display (MFD) puts all aircraft-systems monitoring and flight-planning functions at the pilot's fingertips b.. Designed with reversionary capabilities, allowing all flight-critical data to transfer seamlessly to a single display for added safety during flight c.. Solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), which can align while in motion, including in-flight dynamic restarts d.. Digital Air Data Computer e.. Engine-monitoring display f.. Mode S transponder with Traffic Information Service (TIS) g.. Dual integrated radio modules that provide WAAS-certified IFR oceanic-approved GPS; VHF navigation with ILS; and VHF communication with 16-watt transceivers and 8.33-kHz channel spacing h.. Digital audio control system i.. Garmin SafeTaxi airport diagrams that help pilots navigate unfamiliar airports j.. Optional integrated satellite weather datalink and digital-quality audio via XM Satellite Radio k.. Optional remote Flight Management System (FMS) controller for simplified waypoint, navigation, and communication tuning and selection l.. Optional integrated Class-B Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) with worldwide terrain and U.S. obstacle database, which does not require and external LRU as with other TAWS systems The G900X will be available in the first quarter of 2007 at a suggested retail price of $66,745 through Garmin G900X qualified distributors. AS FOR ME, I really like my "CHEAP" Grand Rapids three screen system. Russ Daves N710RV (DAR Special Airworthiness Certificate in Hand) Hope to have everything back together and in the air shortly.

    Nicely priced for the upper echelon in the society! I expect that Garmin will have a more logical menus and function than GRT but I think I stick with my GRTs. Do not archive.

Pictures attached are dinner at RV-10 HQ last night, Stein's motorized sofa (gas engine) and more RV-10s. Current count is 7 customer built RV-10s on the field. Van's also has the RV-12 in front of their booth but not in a flyable state. I'll get a picture of that today.

    Marcus, I am at OSH and the connection is poor but your picture indicates the starter is mounted about 0.25" low of the flywheel. With the mount the way it is, I would think this starter gear has a smaller diameter than necessary. Aerosport should be good about a correction. John Cox ________________________________ Sent: Sun 7/23/2006 5:29 PM I took a hard look at the starter again and there appears to be no damage anywhere, other than what you get when spinning parts touch each other without engaging. No cracks, etc. I've attached a couple pictures in case that helps someone decipher what's going on. It is a Sky-tec starter on an Aerosport IO-540A4D5. I was wondering if there's any chance the starter comes with different size gears and perhaps I got the smaller version? The odd thing is it worked great for awhile. I cranked it for almost 10 seconds before I realized fuel wasn't getting to the engine yet and it spun great. Then it worked a few more times before the engine came to life. After that it was nothing but trouble.

However, after letting it run for a couple minutes and checking it over for leaks I tried to start it again. This time I was greeted by a horrendous squeal and the prop not spinning as fast as before while starting. I shut it all down and it appears the starter is no longer engaging properly. It wore a little of the outside aft edge of the flywheel and looks like either the starter gear is too small, or somehow it suddenly was able to drift a little further from the flywheel and no longer mates up properly. The starter mount nuts look secure and the factory paint cues are still in place so I am stumped. With the starter gear retracted it looks like the gears will just barely overlap when it extends.

    Hi Marcus, Starter and ring gears do come with different tooth counts. If memory serves me correctly it is 122 or 149 tooth count. This refers to the number of teeth on the ring gear. By counting the teeth you can confirm the ring gear. For the starter you will need to refer to the manufacture for the tooth count. Obviously mixing a ring gear for one count/pitch and the starter for the other count/pitch is a bad thing.

    Thanks to all for the inputs. I spoke to Bart from Aero Sport at Oshkosh and he said that if there was a kickback then the starter is designed to bend the shaft and will result in my situation. They are paying for overnight FedEx for a quick repair and back to me hopefully in time to have the airplane inspected on Sunday.

The most common cause of kickback is the non-impulse mag firing 25 DBTDC (or whatever your engine is set at) so you might want to check your mag wiring. If you only have a OFF/L/R/BOTH switch and a starter button ..... start on the left mag and switch to both after it's started. Standard switches with OFF/L/R/BOTH/START disable the right mag ...... if you have it wired up correctly. Linn do not archive

    Linn, I think I heard it kickback, but it was all kind of a blur to be honest. I have an impulse mag on the left and a Lightspeed system on the right. I plan to double check the wiring and mimic what several (Tim Olson, etc) mentioned in a previous post. Any and all kickback preventative measures relating to this setup would be welcome.

    When installing the throttle quadrant, are the cables routed through the firewall recess in the stock location? If not, where? I think I heard they don't take the same route and of course already enlarged the stock holes per the plans. What's the fix if necessary? Once again...thanks! Sean Blair #40225
