I think the key in all this is it has nothing to do with the transmission but
in how the receiving equipment is acting. If you are going in and essentially
sending a reactivation signal, your equipment is probably the issue and not
the XM signal. This is equivalent to blaming a web site provider for not being
accessible if your ISP is down. I believe that Sirius/XM occasionally reauthorizes
receives but the receiver shouldn't time out before receives a new authorization
assuming it's used with some regularity. Either way I would complain
to your hardware manufacturer first.

When I was flying for a living, we had numerous instances where WSI
would not refresh and we had to call WSI and have them do some kind
of reboot. Then we would have to wait a half hour or so. This is NOT
the case with the WSI I have in my RV with the AV-350. It has been
flawless since initializing back in October. Don't know what the
difference is, but I am pleased with the service. I am following
Tim's work with the NavWorx system. Sounds pretty cool.

Is this on the AV-300's, the new receivers that you see these
problems? My old AV-100 was fairly spotty, but my AV-300 has
been flawless. Also, with WSI, once you're activated you don't have
to go to any website to refresh.
Some people may remember that last year I flew the NavWorx system
on my Chelton. It worked for both Wx and TIS-B right out of the box.
The only problem is that FIS-B (ADS-B Weather) doesn't have great
coverage all over the US yet. Shortly I will be testing the box
again to provide only traffic, so that I can maintain my WSI for
Wx yet get both TIS-A and TIS-B traffic. If that works, I'll
be all set and will just use it that way until FIS-B coverage is
all over the US. You can cover so many miles in an RV-10 in a
day that having only scattered regions where Wx is available
wouldn't be any fun.

If that is the case then the XM reauthorization should retry as the aircraft
hardware is not ON 90+% of the time. Other XM receivers i.e. car radios have
considerably more ON time than aircraft weather systems even though mine is
ON whenever I am flying.

| Subject: | Composite Class for RV-10s May 9-10 2009 |
AirCrafters will be holding our "Composites for RV-10s" class again May 9 &
10 (Saturday and Sunday), 2009.
More information is available here:
http://www.aircraftersllc.com/seminars.htm
We will cover all of the composite parts, including the fitting of a cabin
top. The class consists of equal parts lecture and hands-on work. Wear old
clothes!
Although the cabin top and doors are specific to RV-10s, the class is a good
primer for any aircraft-related composite work.
Please email or call if you would like us to fit your top during the
class--no charge!
(This will be our fifth top fitting)
Again, rides will be available in our RV-10, weather permitting.
Class size is limited to 15 builders. Cost is $350. We get a lot of very
positive feedback, so sign up early!

Not sure what hardware you have, but I use XM on my 496. It takes awhile to
start tracking the weather, but I occasionally get significant delays in
updates (45 minutes plus). After some guidance from the forum I e-mailed
Garmin and they indicated the issue was with XM, not the receiver. Not much
we can do about that I suspect. Rebooting the 496 has a limited effect for
me. Recently the problem has been less prevalent so I hope that's a good
sign.

I was using XM for weather on the trip March 14 to the Midwest. worked fine.
ON the return March 19, the system failed to come up after takeoff from the
Midwest. I stopped in TX to refresh and it worked again. Does anyone else
have these problems? Why does the XM sight provide a self refresh
transaction on the net? I am considering cancelling XM and using the Navworx

John,
I just finished my landing gear fairings last week. I used the 3 foot sections.
Haven't started on the cowling yet but it looks to me like that is where I'd used
the 6 foot sections.

The problem you describe is an XM chip issue. If the XM doesn't see a
satellite for a while it drops the connection to stop theft. This was set
up long before weather when it was basically a radio only service. It
happens with the cheap XM and the 'certified' XM like I have in my RV. Real
pain in the but ... however the refresh only takes seconds .. especially if
you're airborne with you request it. I've never seen it stop working in
flight .. it's always after the aircraft has been hangered for a while. As
I understand it there is really no fix for it, although the weather folks
have been talking for some time that there may be a way.

Just finished the cowling and it takes a hinge 39" long for the sides . So 36"
must be for the legs. I did not realize that hinges were used on the leg fairings,
hope I still have hinges left, haven't checked inventory box lately.

An aluminum fairing is available for the RV-10 wind screen. Has anyone
installed one of these? For those who have glassed in their wind
screen, would you use a fairing if you had to do it again?

| Subject: | Wind screen fairing |
I glassed in/on the fairing on my RV-7A.no big deal. Dirty, messy, sanding,
but not difficult or complicated. I'd like to see how an aluminum fairing
would look nicer than a nice job of glass at this intersection point of an
RV, of all the things on my plane, I'm pretty proud of how mine came out.
I'd just do the glass again, I think.
