Those are the exact same ones I found that were cheap. I got
some with a cable, and some that were just a 2" port adapter.
Back when I got them I think I even paid like $1-$2 each
for the short ones and maybe $3-5 for these, but probably
with combined shipping. I wanted to have a bunch around.
Some day it would be cool to have that bluetooth
adapter, but I don't know that the iPad would support
the Serial bluetooth profile, and even if it did, I don't
know that they have a Com terminal app....so I'm still
hoping to find one that works via wi-fi so I can use
a telnet/ssh app. If I had a wi-fi one, I'd use it often
at work.

Since 70.8% of the earth is covered by water (leaving only 29.2% for land), I would
suggest something more practical....

| Subject: | Re: FWF Fuel Line Torque Values |
Pascal
Thanks for the reply. I notice that the torque values for some of the fittings
themselves such as fuel inlet to fuel servo are lower than what Aeroquip specifies
for the hoses. I wonder if the intent is to have a lower torque onthe flexible
hose fitting than the fitting to fuel servo so one doesnot inadvertantly
loosen the fitting from the fuel servo while removing the flexible hose.

The Lycoming Overhaul Manual has fairly low torque values for "flexible hose
or tube fittings " in the order of 30 to 35 in-lbs with corresponding values
of over 100in-lb from Aeroquip and similar sources. Not sure which values to
use.

| Subject: | Re: Navworx maintenance terminal - USB - Com Port adapters? |
An update; I just finished the install in my RV-10 and it seems to work
fine. The configuration includes display on 3 GRT HX displays, a
GTX327, and a G430W. I have a few pictures and random notes here:
http://www.mykitlog.com/mauledriver
The various wiring options can be challenging to decipher. I
circumvented that by asking FastStack to provide a wiring harness to add
to my FastStack wiring hub. They wired every option that was possible
between the GRT HXs, the GTX 327, the G430W, and the NavWorx box. I
just had to determine what options I actually had (e.g. no ARINC on the
Navworx) and configure accordingly.
I got both Nexrad images and traffic going on one display. Need to make
some GRT config changes to get them across all 3 displays.
The way I understand things is that the ADS-B box supplies 2 separate
functions - weather and the 'traffic stuff'. The box takes 2 power
leads and 2 ground leads which I think reflects the separation. It
also requires 2 antenna - a GPS antenna and a UAT (transponder type)
antenna. I installed both just to keep things simple rather than trying
to share a GPS antenna or signal.
* The weather is on all the time. According to Bill Moffitt there are
12 weather functions but access to them is dependent on the
equipment you are displaying on. GRT supports 3 of them - Nexrad,
Metars, and TAFs at this time. Someone on the GRT group pointed out
that if you turn off the Nexrad, airports are colored coded into
VFR, MFR and IFR... I'll call that a 4th function.
* The traffic stuff is 'controlled' in a sense by the GTX327 which
acts as a control panel. When in standby or off - no traffic in or
out. No real operation or control required but good to understand
that. The 'suppression' function is operational so there should be
no need to coordinate squawk codes. The Navworx box sees what the
327 is squawking and doesn't produce or display duplicate info.
* The G430W is wired in but is not functional in my installation. No
desire to display traffic there.
People have reported some difficulties with the install and I can see
how it has had to evolve but I can report that it seems to be in a
pretty good place right now. The need to use a PC as a configuration
console was one of the obstacles but NavWorx seems to have upgraded the
terminal software and integrated it with the process for delivering
software updates. Once I figured out how to recycle some junk to get a
com port for my laptop, no problems. The only time the console is
required is for future software updates.
Bill Moffitt at NavWorx is a good guy to work with and seems more than
willing to provide the needed assistance.
I've never had traffic before so being able to see nearby traffic on my
first test flight was a revelation. The Nexrad imagery seemed a bit
more 'pixelated' than the XM but looks fine. Still testing but I was
just thinking that a run down to Sun & Fun might be called for....
