I don't use the AP on many short flights so recently have noticed that the AP always wants to "hunt" right. I have the Digiflite II VSGV on a gang switch which switches GPS inputs and activates the TT for Arinc A/B inputs. The selector reads AP standalone with Crossbow GPS input, Chelton Arinc A/B input with crossbow for GPS, or GPS only from the GRT Sport backup. The main discrepancy on the display is that the GPS track on the Cheltons (green diamond) and the GPS track on the GRT Sport (two independent GPSs) agree. Somehow the GPS track as passed to the AP always displays about 10 degrees "right" of the GPS track on the Chelton and the Sport. In summary the GPS tracks on the Chelton and GRT displays agree but the GPS track as shown on the TT AP always shows about 10 degrees right. I believe this causes the AP hunting. Any thoughts. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:05:20 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Greg Hale is in Sport Aviation this month From: "AirMike" We RV-10 builders are not a monolithic group in our philosophy on how our planes turn out. There is no doubt that Greg's plane is an absolutely outstanding aircraft with many luxury enhancements. If you want these additions - there is a weight penalty. We all know this. Nevertheless, kudos to Greg for an outstanding addition to the fleet. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=341281#341281 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:26:19 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Chelton TT DGII VSGV From: Tim Olson It's because of where you live....and how you have it wired to the GPS. The signal you're sending it isn't corrected for magnetic variation the way you have it wired.

My GRT is set to display ground track and the Chelton green diamond displays ground track which both should be magnetic. Yet the GRT display and Chelton green diamond always agree; just the TT AP display does not agree when Chelton GPS outputs to TT. It may be user error but I have not found it yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Olson To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 11:18 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Chelton TT DGII VSGV It's because of where you live....and how you have it wired to the GPS.

Many builders have the GRT EIS 6000 installed with a Floscan 201B as the fuel flow sensor. Another builder had his fail after nine hours and GRT replaced with a Red Cube unit which did not fit the old mounting holes or fuel lines. In case you have an installed 201B and need a replacement out of warranty, you might consider Aircraft Spruce has the new 201B unit for sale for about $210 which should not require making new lines or mounting holes. The floscan device website indicates expected bearing life to exceed 10000 hours. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:47:01 PM PST US From: Robin Marks Subject: RV10-List: Small Drill Driver Recommendation About a year ago someone on the RV list recommended a small Li Ion drill driver.

It broke in a week and I had to send it back. Scott S has a Skill brand, I believe, it works well. Maybe I will see if I can break his. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Marks To: rv10-list@matronics.com ; rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 3:43 PM Subject: RV10-List: Small Drill Driver Recommendation About a year ago someone on the RV list recommended a small Li Ion drill driver.
