My suggestion would be to install the static ports and the static system
(at least to the T-connector).
I'd also run conduit down the left side of the tailcone from the F-1007,
through the F-1008, and ending at the F-1009 bulkheads. This way you
can pull wires and coax through the tailcone without crawling back in
there again later.
After you get them joined it becomes a real PITA to crawl through the
baggage door and down the tail cone. It gets even worse when you rivet
the F-1028 Baggage Bulkhead Channel down the middle of the tailcone
opening. The rear seatback brace couldn't be in a worse spot for making
the turn between the baggage door and tailcone.
If you're a smaller framed guy, it might not be that bad. I am 6' 3",
weigh 230lbs, and bend just about as well as a popsicle stick. I'm
hoping I only have to crawl back there another 5-10 times before the
project is done.

Be certain you have done all the work you want in the tailcone, like
install and hookup of static ports, something to pull the tail
light/strobe wiring through later, like string trimmer line. You will
have a fair amount of match drilling, followed by separating the two
pieces, deburring and dimpling before you start the riveting process.
Much of the riveting of the bottom sections is easier with a second
person to do the bucking.

Check out the attached file.....
I only wish I could control a full Garmin stack with the G3X push
buttons now.
As it currently stands, I believe you have to load an approach in your
430 and then do it again on your G3X. Kind of a pain, but it would be
nice if they linked up so you only have to load the approach once.
But I really like the direction the product is going!

| Subject: | Modest panel upgrade--Not RV10 related |
Since my son got his private we are trying get him relatively inexpensive flying
time. My Long-EZ has been sitting for 3 years and we are in the process of
reviving it. We are thinking about getting rid of the gyros and vacuum system
and replacing it with an EFIS, engine monitor and new electrical system for
a total cost of $5-7000. Would this expenditure be recouped when the plane is
finally sold? Anyone with any experience with this situation?
Any thoughts on what needs to be done to the engine? It wasn't pickled before
storage. We have looked at the cylinders with a camera and they appear to be
rust free.

Why the EFIS, if you already have enough gyros for night flight? It appears your
son is not instrument rated so you really don't need too much in that regard.
You probably will not recoup this investment, as avionics technology is changing
so fast that whatever you put in will be "last year's device" when you sell
it.
I'm always in favor of engine monitors.
If it were my engine I'd try to get a look at the cam and the followers, for signs
of rust/corrosion. If the engine is a TCM you can pull the push rods and lifters
without pulling the cylinders, to get a look. Not sure how you can inspect
a Lycoming's cam without pulling a cylinder.

If you are going to use Van's strobe/elt mount, put it in before you join the tail
cone. Also if you are going to have a tray or shelf behind the baggage bulkhead
for GADAHRS or magnetometers do it now. If you are going to have belly mount
antennas put the doublers in now. Same with autopilot servos.

I think Garmin really started to take notice of all of the non-certified
EFIS players out there and stepped it up a notch. It's a pretty compelling
argument to have the same display type across many aircraft types along wi
th a common code base.

| Subject: | G3X has now has SVT. :) |
Agreed. I expected SVT on the G3X even when they were saying they were not
promising any additional features. I expect Pathways (HITS) to follow at
some point. What I don=92t expect (unfortunately ) is for Garmin to offer a
n
alternative to their Traffic ($8,800) & WX. If one wants to buy Navworx
active ADS-b it will display a limited number of targets on the G3X but not
the full complement of what the Navworx system will output and it will not
display any of the free WX available through the Navworx system. RATS!
Because of that Garmin owners are stuck with a $55.00/month charge for the
full XM / WX data feed.
Note from Garmin:
We will soon be adding software support for the GTS 8XX traffic system that
does support ADS-B through the 1090MHz transponder frequency along with
being an active traffic TAS system. The GTS 8XX does not support the UAT
connection to the ADS-B traffic. As for the FIS weather that the FAA
provides, the only unit that we have to receive this is the GDL 90. The GDL
90 does not interface to either the G900X or the G3X. I am not sure what th
e
alternatives at this point are besides XM.

The G500 does that exact thing. Load the approach or flight plan up on the
430w and it transfer right to the G500. I've got about 42 hrs behind it now
and it works great. I'm waiting to get SV and I have the 330 transponder.A
couple of weeks ago I flew from Houston to Tampa and Had traffic all but a
few places.
=C2-I do wish we could get the weather from a navworx but I don't see tha
t in the cards with Garmin.
Got to say I'm enjoying my new panel much better then the Aerosonic/OP.
