Is someone on the list who installed the Aerotronics RV-10 panel?

What are your experience, how much additional "fitting" work is required?

Look at www.zme.nl and click the kitlog logo, and it will fit your
center console as well!
Additional fitting work?......a lot!

| Subject: | Re: Aerotronics RV-10 Panel |
Michael, I saw Henkjan's pics and 'fell in love' with the panel,
e-mailed him to find out where he got it and then contacted Aerotronics
who warned me that it would require additional fitting. They and Henkjan
are right! I'm not sure I went about it the best way, but the 1st 3-4
links on this page show how I mounted the panel to the fuse/upper fwd
fuse. http://deemsrv10.com/upperfwdfuseinstallationlogindex.html There
are several other pages that show the installation. as well. I am VERY
happy with the end result so far, it is aesthetically pleasing to me,
however it took a lot of additional work. (I still have to reset the
copilot subpanel as it is slightly crooked)
http://deemsrv10.com/album/Panel/slides/DSC05574.html. One thing to be
aware of is that the design of this panel restricts the use of the
available 'real estate' so if you have a lot of components that you want
to put in the panel, make sure they will all fit. I also made a center
console to match to it as well.

Don,
There should have been a manual included with your LightSpeed ignition. The same
manual is on their web site:
http://www.lightspeedengineering.com/Manuals/Ignition.htm
It's pretty well written and explains all the installation and testing process.

Probably got myself in over my head, but I had dual lightspeeds installed on my
IO540 from Performance Engines.... has anyone else gone through the process of
hooking up the coils and tach's? I've got an AF3500 with a backup std Van's
tach.
The leads coming from the black boxes are labeled A, B and C, one box on each
side.... is there an easy way of figuring which wires go to which coils?

| Subject: | Garmin 530 memory battery |
Last weekend while flying our Glastar I was greeted by a message on
my Garmin 530 ,"Internal Memory Battery Low". When I got home I
looked up the error message in the big handbook, it says take the unit
to the nearest authorized Garmin dealer and have the battery changed.
This battery apparently backs-up the onboard memory which holds
flightplans and other user data. Well, I just couldn't resist the
temptation to look under the hood to see how "replaceable" this battery
is. As I'm well aware, a trip to the Garmin Dealer usually makes a
trip to the Lexus dealer look like a kids play.
I found the battery and well its not for the faint of heart, and for
those who don't mind watching open heart surgery I've included a picture
of my 530 laid out on the table. The battery is a commonly available
Sanyo Lithium cell # CR15250SE with solder tabs available from Newark
Electronics and others for about $6. The battery is soldered into a
circuit board deep inside the unit and also has a little dab of adhesive
for good measure. The good news is that although the battery is
deep inside the 530, everything inside the unit is very connectorized
and modular, about 20 screws removed and a half a dozen connectors
disconnected and you are to the pc board with the battery. The battery
comes off with standard desoldering techniques and the new battery is
installed in a flash.
With the unit all reassembled it was back to the field for the
moment of truth. All is well and after reacquiring its location my
GNS530 is happy again.
Oh yeah, the original battery lasted just shy of 10 years.

Bob,
You did not take advantage of the WAAS upgrade for the 530 while it was $1500?
Garmin pretty much replaces the whole innards with the upgrade. Oh well, next
time if you are not so adventurous, try Charlie Blackert at Airport Radio over
at Braden (N43). As a Garmin authorized dealer he can do this stuff for an
hour or so of labor and the cost of the battery. He replaced the sticking buttons
on my 430 a while back.

| Subject: | Re: Aerotronics RV-10 Panel |
They did my panel for me - awesome. See my post previously put on this site under
"Aerotronics - Blatant plug for - Plug & Play panel".
They are very complete. You do need to do a lot of finish wiring, but I went to
Billings (They are also at OSH) to pick it up. They gave me three hours of training
in finish wiring. Basically they give you a bunch of connectors to just
conjoin with their connectors already on the panel. Very simple and the directions
are excellent (diagrams).
I figure that they saved me about 400 hours of build time and infinite aggravation.
Plus it looks really professional. Their pricing is not cheap, but for what
you get it is a bargain. If you need support or have questions, it is included
- no extra charge for the 1st year.

To top it off, a call to Garmin would have been the order of the day.... to get
an estimate, of course. I'm quite sure it would have made your day.

| Subject: | Fiberglass Wing Tip Installation - simple efficiency |
Reference to page 24-3 of the plans on the installation of the wing tips.
I have pre-fitted the tip using "step 1" and drilled/clecoed #40 the attach holes.
It seems to line up pretty good. I do not understand why you want to remove
the wing tip per "Step 2"
It would seem better to just finish drill #28 right thru the aluminum and the fiberglass
to maintain alignment and keep the fiberglass from puckering. After
drilling you can detach the tip and do the dimpling, deburring, countersinking
and aligning the nut plates.
Is there something that I am missing here.
