In my case, the VP-200 is on during start and that is used as the primary engine instrument (fed by the EIS). And, I'd prefer to look at graphical engine gauges instead of the character display on the EIS. -------- Marc Ausman http://www.verticalpower.com RV-7 IO-390 Flying Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=219440#219440 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:35:18 AM PST US From: "Albert Gardner" Subject: RV10-List: Electric Rudder Trim I am very pleased with the spring bias rudder trim I installed last summer. It was easy to fabricate, install, and required no modifications to the rudder. It has adequate range for high attitude climbs and fast descents. Beats having to hold rudder pressure for long periods of time. I used the aileron trim servo kit and installed it just behind the baggage bulkhead against the bottom skin straddling a stiffener. An additional cable connects to the rudder horn on one side, wraps around a pulley, to the springs at the servo and back to the rudder horn on the other side. Pictures available to any who are interested.

To recap, my original problem was high oil temps in the summer when OAT would routinely be well above 100F. The engine is a IO-540-exp with 10:1 and 310hp. I tried many things but lastly added a second oil cooler on the right side. It was installed just like the left side cooler. Unfortunately, gathering comparison data is difficult since OAT's have since followed the stock market (ie, down by almost 50%) but it does not appear that rerouting air to the new oil cooler has affected CHT's. I didn't think it would be any different since that is the way we cool the left side oil cooler. Now if this southern Arizona winter weather would just go away and get back to the 100+ temps I need for testing. 70 degree weather is just a pain.

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Position_Reporting_System) A buddy had a license so we installed the equipment ($300) and have been trying it out. I was so pleased with the results that I took the test for a Technician class ham license and now have my own call sign and moved the transmitter to my aircraft. Pretty neat.

For example, I know it is possible to display satellite weather that has been received by a Garmin GDL-69 (satellite receiver) on the display of Garmin 430. Does anyone happen to know the protocol / format for the communication between the GDL-69 and the Garmin 430? Is it documented anywhere, or perhaps an open standard (e.g. ARINC?). I have done a bit of google searching but didn't turn anything up. Thanks very much in advance.

Sorry for the advertisement but I know a lot of people where looking for an overhead.

But we could hook up a port monitor between the two devices and document the protocol. We could then emulate the GDL-69 using a much cheaper WxWorks receiver. Then again, we could emulate the Garmin with a much cheaper computer, and then... :) oh, never mind... :) Regards, Lenny Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=219553#219553 ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 09:25:24 PM PST US From: linn Walters Subject: Re: RV10-List: Electric Rudder Trim Lemme try again!!! :-) linn Walters wrote: > I'll try!!! > Linn > > > John Cumins wrote: >> >> Linn can you send me pics how you connected the rudder pedals in the >> tunnel >> I very much want to do that on my 10. >> >> thanks >> >> John G.
