I just returned both XRXs that I was sent. The first system had a power
issue such that it rebooted itself about o dozen times over about 6 hours of
usage. These occurred using four different power sources, two alternator
sources which should have been 13VDC+ , two batteries, and two different
power cords. I called the factory and they indicated that the unit should be
returned for warranty service. The replacement unit was immediately sent
from Marv Golden and it reset once on battery power and once on the
alternator. I came to the conclusion that the problem was probably a voltage
drop on the very small wire size used in the power cord; it is the same cord
as supplied for the MRX which uses about 20% of the XRX power. I believe the
reset problem can be fixed by Zaon using a properly sized power plug.
Some observations during use (5 flights)
Traffic was definitely easier to spot given the suggested bearing to the
traffic.
Identification of traffic below where the transponder antenna was shielded
by the target airframe, made traffic alerted late or not at all.
The second XRX also had the problem of identifying my aircraft transponder
as target traffic and display 0.0 NM 0 FT with the ALERT. This can be fixed
by the factory as it was on my MRX several years ago. My transponder antenna
was clean at the time.
The compass should definitabely be calibrated. Calibration can take place in
smooth air using the autopilot on GPS track of 000. It gives the "God's eye
view" proper orientation.
LCD display is more difficult to see (than MRX LED) with sunglasses and in
bright light
traffic distances differ between the MRX and XRX; visually the XRX seem to
be a little more accurate. The MRX seemed to show slightly larger distances.
Although the XRX will display on a GRT and other EFIS, I did not try because
I did not have the extra serial port required. Note however the display is
either not both. The traffic displayed on the EFIS is not duplicated on the
XRX; the XRX display shows a standard message identifying the EFIS.
In summary the XRX is an improvement on the MRX, just not a three times the
price improvement. I will continue to use the MRX to "wake me up" and keep
my eyes outside. Hope this helps some in their decision making. Now if
they ever come up with an economical GDL solution!!!

Hi Larry,
The interior person I used supplied it. He does custom cars also and I
think it's just the trim they use on the trunk and doors etc.

Sorry, I was offline for a while,
I would like to sign up for the 2 axis (2 preset speeds) Safety trim
controller, is it still possible?
I'm also trying to get in touch with Steinair for a while, I need a fey
of their USB panel mount extension cables as well as a few minor things,
tried it more than a year ago but no response.
We met at Oshkosh 2007 in the RV10 headquarters and Stein introduced me
to Paul Story so I mailed him but no response as well, maybe my mail is
lost in spam..
Is there a way that someone helps me to get in touch?

First I would like to thank all the builders who have signed up for the
group buy. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving
you.
We hope you all have had a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
This is the final weekend of the Vansairforce group buy for our
Safety-Trim servo controller. Over 140 builders have signed up and
will receive the full $100 discount on the 2 axis controller and $50
discount on the single axis controller. If you haven't signed up yet
the promotion continues until the Dec 31.
Other important notes. We've added a few more applications notes on
our web site including details on the wiring harness available for use
with Safety-Trim. Lastly, we are now selling an airspeed switch that
is field adjustable between 55 and 140 knots and is perfect for
triggering the 2 speed function on Safety-Trim.

Wayne,
Where did you get the black trim that you have on the interior door
frame to trim off the edge?

I had several builders request that I post some photos of my interior.
Rather than post them on Matronics I sent some to them diretc, because of
the number of pictures I sent them and the size limits on Matronics. If
anyone else would like to see my interior photos just e-mail me offline and
Ill forward them to you.

Henk, I tried to copy you on an e-mail I sent to Stein, but Outlook doesn't
recognize the .nl in your e-mail address. Do you have a .com address?

I too had to remove material for the tube to fit into the mount, but I
removed material from the inside of the mount instead of the tube. It
didn't take much, but a small sanding drum on the Dremmel tool did the
job. I figured the mount is fairly thick steel, and the tube is
expensive, and not steel, so logic told me to grind the mount a little,
and then paint on a little zinc chromate.
