| Subject: | Re: G3X Component Locations |
Jim,
This is a little off topic so I will give a couple quick answers and then give
a more detailed response in a new thread later.
Yes - it is a complete system including engine monitor and sensors. It has synthetic
vision, HWITS display, geo-referenced charts, approach plates, and airport
diagrams. With the GX Pilot it can do a complete coupled approach. The functionality
is about the same (as far as I can tell) as the GRT and AFS high
end systems except it has built in geo-referenced plates and airport diagrams
which the others do not. The screens are a bit smaller but fit very nicely on
a standard 10 panel.
I had the same question about subscriptions. I have been told that for the G3X,
the Jepp subscription that you need for the GTN-650/750 will work to update
the G3X map at no extra charge.
Garmin now allows builders to make their own harnesses.
As I recall, the 3 screen G3X came in about $2500 less than the GRT/AFS equivalents.

When flying through some bumps the other day I lost my fuel quantity indications
on the left tank. Didn't actually lose them, the indicated quantity went from
24 gallons to -12. After de-fuel it seems the float is still attached and moving
free, but the resistance from the sending wire to ground is a consistent
176 ohms. It seems to me that there is a failure of the sending unit. Before I
pull this apart and order a replacement has anyone seen this before, or have
a step that I may have missed to troubleshoot the problem.

Bogert makes a tow bar that Spruce sells for the -10. It works great.

First check the ground connection. If you do not run a separate ground wire to
a ring connector under one of the screw heads, you may want to.
If the ground is good, you may have a bad sender. Considering you have some reading
other than short or open I'd guess it is hung up on something. Not sure
how you can know that it moving freely with the tank on the plane. Either way
you need to pull the unit.
One other point, if you measured the sending unit resistance to ground in circuit
(sending wire still attached to whatever it goes to), you may have a false
reading. Remove the sending wire from the sender and measure again.

I will second the suggestion to make darn sure it is well grounded. I
replaced my right hand sender last year unnecessarily. I thought I
had a good ground, but I did not. Oh well, now I have a spare sender
if the RH ever really fails.

| Subject: | Re: Dynon roll servo settings? |
Thanks, guys... I'm using the legacy (D100) system. I did do all the
calibration steps for the compass. My magnetometer is mounted on a shelf
aft of the baggage bulkhead.
http://kochman.net/N819K/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/img_0853.jpg
Though I used nonferrous mounting hardware, the real seat belt cables pass a
few inches by. Do you think that would be a problem? My understading is
that this was a common mounting location.
Mike, it's weird we're having different problems. My pitch has been rock
solid from day 1.
