Or more appropriately, break out the magic manuals and learn
about the EFIS system you choose, and the rest of your stack,
to learn which plan makes sense for YOUR plane, and YOUR
avionics.

I just finished my 40 hour phase I this weekend and noticed for the last few hours
that my #1 and #2 EGT temp readings are a bit higher than the rest during
low power settings. Would this be a sign of failing probes or something else?

Not likely anything is wrong. you may want to download and graph what data
you have, but you aren't going to have uniform balance at all power
settings. If you have a tight spread at your normal cruise, that is about as
good as you can hope for.
Only if something has changed over last flight or two would I be looking for
anything.

This is the problem with today's high res digital Engine Monitors...
Now days you can SEE the exact number, and it makes you worry about
things that would never have been a concern if you didn't have a
string of real numbers in front of you. of course, now days you
can use these exacting numbers to see problems coming early
on too. ... so there is a benefit. It just takes a bunch of flight
hours in varied conditions to start to see a real baseline normal.

| Subject: | High EGT readings |
I just had an experience with this in an RV-6. The #1 cylinder was reading
100 deg hotter than the rest in cruise. Turns out to be a deposit on the
spark plug. It did not show up on mag check until later. SO I think the
monitor did pick up the issue before the next mag check. Cleaned plug and
all is well and temps back into alignment.

You can detect that either by in-flight mag check or mag check on the
ground. When you go to single mag the EGT should go up about 100 degrees on
all cylinders. If it doesn't on one or drops off, that plug is suspect.

| Subject: | Re: Under cowl antenna mount |
There was some discussion a while back about mounting GPS and Weather
antenna's. Here is my solution.
I have a Garmin 430W GPS antenna, a stand alone GPS serial receiver and the
XM weather antenna's all mounted under the cowling. No issues in 270+
hours.
The stand alone GPS unit drives the AFS Autopilot and the copilot AFS-3500
EFIS. The Garmin GPS is driving the pilot side AFS-4500 EFIS.
They are forward enough to have a good view of the sky.
The $30 GPS receiver is this one:

| Subject: | Re: Red Fuel Transducer Mount - Firewall |
There was a discussion about alternate mounting if the red fuel transducer.
I put mine on the lower right side of the firewall. Used 45 Degree fittings
at the transducer. No fuel pump fluctuations and not engine mounted. Both
fuel lines are adele clamped to the engine mount to reduce vibration loads
on the cube.
