    I have a quantity of these on order that I'll at some point have on the website along with the requisite quick connector that screws directly on to them. We've used those valves on a lot of panels and planes they are slick, work well and look pretty good. Anyway, it'll be a couple weeks, but we'll have them sooner or later!

    You don't need an approved GPS to fly ifr, if you only go where a VOR and/or ILS will take you. However, Matt's home airport (KLVK) represents a problem, as there is no approach you can legally shoot without an approved gps (or, ADF). Matt, one comment: be cautious after grt software updates, as that represents a single point failure of all your attitude info. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=295125#295125

    What do people think of this idea: I was thinking of permanently leaving my backup (Dynon D-6 most likely) instruments on alternate (cabin) static pressure, and have no "alternate static" valve on the main instruments (most likely GRT). Yes, they would always slightly disagree with the main instruments. But a static blockage would also be immediately obvious. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=295126#295126

    This would work .... but why have instrumentation that 'disagrees'. It's like a dead watch .... accurate time twice a day. How come you're worried about your static ports becoming blocked, but haven't addressed a blocked pitot??? Both are subject to ice/water intrusion ..... but proper plumbing inside the fuse/wing keep that problem down to a minimum. I'd put a simple mod to the static line like Matt did.

    I have yet to hear of a mechanism for both static ports to get blocked at the same time. Even with driving rain followed by freezing, only one side would get blocked, Perhaps if you got mud daubers in both sides. Blockage should be obvious before or shortly after lift off, with airspeed being way off. If it makes you feel better, your plan certainly is a way to always have alternate source of info, but might drive you crazy with differences in airspeed and altitude.

    Subject: Instrumentation Checkout Video (HDTV)...
    Dear Listers, I wanted to check out the operation of all the various systems on the RV-8 now that the engine is running. For example, comparing the fuel flow and fuel pressure readings between the FuelChec DX and the GRT EFIS. I also wanted to run the engine up a little and make sure the CHT and EGT's were coming into a normal range and the all of the probes were working. Also, I wanted to see the oil pressure and temps in normal ranges after a bit of running. Finally, I wanted to check the engine RPM with the new TruTach II hand held optic tachometer. On April 13 2010 I hopped in the pilot's seat and fired up the IO-390 and went though some checks. I videoed the procedure and used the intercom to call out the various readings I was observing. If you select the 1080p version of the YouTube video, you can actually read most of the values right off the GRT EFIS displays! Towards the end of the video some music starts to play. This is coming from the Kenwood via the MP3 files on the 64GB thumb drive plugged into the panel via the PS3000 Intercom and is exactly what I'm hearing in the headphones. YouTube Video (Select higher resolutions 480p/760p/1080p for clearer picture): http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8?v=-byMWhyTwjA PS - Video was edited with Adobe Premiere CS4 on a Windows Vista 64 system.
