Does anyone have a detailed drawing of the antenna that comes with the GNS430W unit? I have the antenna that comes with the Apollo GX-65 GPS/COM. Are the mounting holes the same? If I use that to drill my holes will the WAAS antenna bolt up ok?

I was talking to American Propeller / Eagle Engines (They did the engine and prop for our Saratoga) They were recommending the Whirlwind over the MT for the RV-10 due to the fact the Whirlwind is all Carbon fiber composite prop not Wood/composite. Has any one in the RV-10 world use or have a Whirlwind prop. I would like to more info on this. Thanks John G. Cumins 40864 Emp.

They would not repair a three blade Whirlwind system that needed some attention. It was sold to a hobbyist to be shortened and mounted on an airboat. Went with the MT 3 blade. Yes the MT has a wood (dampening) core. Don't ask me how I know. One of the big advantages of a composite vs. metal prop is the range of repairs that an owner/mechanic can do and the extended life of the product. American Propeller does some damned fine paint jobs on Aero props. I can give you a dozen painted three blade composites and not one will be a Whirlwind.

I=99ll get one the next time I get to the hangar, unfortunately it may be awhile. I put my switches on the fixed bar below the panel. To the right of the pitot heat switch I drilled 3 holes vertically to match the lights as they are mounted on the circuit board. The lights just push though the panel from behind. That=99s about it, but I=99ll try to get a picture anyway.

I have the same pitot and recommend you keep the lights as is. One is for power, one for low temp, and one for heat on. I don=99t think you would want just one light and it would take some creative electronic wizardry to employ a light with 3 colors available. I just drilled 3 holes in the panel next to the pitot heat switch and glued the lights in place, it works great. I haven=99t used any annunciator lights other that what came with the GRT EFIS so can=99t help you there.

I see Stein has some nice LEDS (http://www.steinair.com/lights.htm) that will do the job. Has anyone found a similar light that will display red/yellow/green on the same light? My Gretz heated pitot has a small board with three LEDS that I would like to combine into a single light.
