Being a RF guy that does a lot of radio work for my company. I would not
place any antenna between the Exhaust stacks you are blocking the radiation
of the antenna a lot. Metal will reflect the radiation of the transmit.
Move the antenna to the far Right or Left and I bet it will work much
better.

I doubt that's the problem.. Mine's on the right side.. maybe 10 inches to
the right of the centerline (so it's not in the exhaust path)... and it
works perfect.. never skipped a beat..
Have you had your txp checked per 91.413? Did it pass that inspection?

Changed the EGT probe on #2 today. This is the second time to replace #2 EGT
probe. Note the black shrink wrap near the connectors. These are the cheaper
probes from GRT. Note that I did not say inexpensive.; the price from GRT is
about $10 less than their "higher quality" probe. I did not know this when I
received and installed my EIS 6000. They are not inexpensive because in 278
hours I have had four failures using these probes. Each time a failure
occurs, the aircraft must be uncowled and a part obtained from GRT. Each
failure cost about 2 hours of my labor and acquisition and AOG freight
charges to remedy. If you use GRT probes at least insist on the EGT probes
with the white shrink wrap near the connectors; they are the "higher
quality" probes.

Hey Guys,
I've read about complaints of tow jockies messing up the completed nose wheel pants,
so now that we've finished the fly off and installed the pants, I asked
the hangar guys and they agreed that getting their bars in the cut outs could
be done carefully, but eventually would mess up the paint.
So here are pics of what I did. Simply replaced the socket head bolts with 2.5
inch ones with a spacer and washer so that the stud is exterior to the fiberglass/paint
with a washer flush so that the tow bar seats without going into the
shell. It's really not noticeable and aerodynamic clutter is minimal. The
longer bolts cost $1.00, made the spacers. The hangar guys love it -- thought
I'd see what y'all thought.
Later, - Lew

I have now replaced all six probes after 650 hours of flying.
If you have not flown I would return everyone of them and get the higher quality
probe that GRT offers. So far, no problems with them.

I've been following this with interest because I've been
flying 625 hours now with only one probe failure on
the same probes, in fact the black labeled ones. In
fact, the failure I had was due to the crimped end.
I've removed them twice or so, when I removed the exhaust,
and reinstalled. I'm not sure why mine have been
reliable, but they have been.

Scott,
How do you determine which ones are the higher quality?
I only see reference to a standard set of probes on their site.

I have not checked the archives over at VAF on this topic, but it might be
worthwhile starting a thread over there. There are a bucket load of RVs us
ing the GRT system and their probes. I have found GRT great to deal with,
and I'm sure they will take appropriate action if there is any hint of nega
tive press.

Sandy indicated that there were two different quality probes; she indicated
that the standard (black wrap) probes work for most. Perhaps they got a bad
batch. She said that the white wrap are available for about $10 more per
probe. I have also researched GEM, Alcor and EI and may buy a replacement
set from EI. My Glastar had all EI engine instruments and in 530 hours I
never had a EGT or any of their probes fail. On my C177RG I had a GEM603 and
had one or maybe two EGT probe failures over at least 15 years and 2000+
hours.

Bob, Sandy just mentioned that they offered a higher temp option when I called
the first time. And $10
I am not sure why I have had probe problems Tim and you have not. I do have ceramic
coated exhaust that may store more heat inside the system. I also located
my probes as close as the plans discussed to the cylinders (I think that was
2.5").
If I did it again I would probably locate them further down the exhaust, maybe
that would make the difference. The new probes appear to fix the problem as I
have not had one issue with them.
I also have some skin friction heat caused by the speed of my plane that increases
the heat of the exhaust. That is most likely the problem :)

I think mine are 2" or so. When mine do go bad I'll just get 6 new
ones and the good ones then. But for now I'm a happy camper.
I think you're right about the skin friction heat....that's the hot
tunnel reason too. Have you noticed your wing leading edges glow
slightly orange at night too?
