| Subject: | Re: Update on Garmin G3X |
Bob,
Some of this stuff is timing. When I initially researched my -10 avionics (~5 years
ago) the GRT's were solid units with very nice & committed people behind
the equipment but the hardware already seemed like legacy equipment. This was
all prior to the HX product line etc.. Frankly when It was time to outfit the
8A the narrower G3x screens seem to be ideal for such small area and I was impressed
with the performance & stability of my G900x so the G3x was my solution.
I never really looked at GRT since I was so familiar with Garmin and impressed
with the AFS package and also had a pretty good feeling that AFS had a long
term future in experimental avionics. I really do not know enough about GRT to
comment on them. All I can say is I hope the marketplace continues to see rapid
development of these technologies and that there is enough demand to support
the existing manufacturers. I have had a front row seat for both the Blue Mountain
and OP retirements and used that as part of my decision making process.
I am thrilled you are happy with GRT. I know these new systems can help us be safer
& better pilots. Just today I departed the LA basin and saw on my screen
2 LA county fire choppers, 3 news choppers circling an accident, 5 planes entering
or leaving the pattern, a 737 dropping into Burbank as a Lear was launching
straight out from Van Nuys in my general direction as a Meridian passed overhead.
I saw all the choppers but maybe 6 of the 30 additional targets in and
around my departure. Sure beats a six pack.

Robin,
Why leave out GRT? Everyone likes their decisions, of course, but I am really happy
with my choice of an HX/HS pair. The new HX may be too new to evaluate, but
it looks like a good choice for a larger screen.
I think AFS and GRT are very competitive, and you end up choosing one or the other
for personal, individual reasons.
One thing that has pleasantly surprised me is that these boxes do quite a bit more
than is advertised. E.g., the HX will share wx with the HS; the analog inputs
on the HX have (if selected on) internal bias resistors, so you don't need
to run a power line to flap position sensors, etc.

Thanks for the huge reply! I thought about the demo rides as well, but

| Subject: | Mounting rear seat headset jacks |
For those with Abby's Flightline interior, how did you mount the rear seat headphone
jacks? I'd like to mount mine on the sides panels in the space right in
front of the arm rests (there's about 3 inches there). I'm just not sure how to
go about it. Pics would be great as I'm a visual learner.

Todd,
That us exactly what I did. I had Abby leave a 2-3" opening in front of the
arm rest. I had her send me some extra leather and glued the leather to th
e aluminum side panel where the jacks go, then installed her panel. I have g
ood pictures at home. Here is a picture where you can almost see it.
I'll try and remember to send you the detail tonight. It turned out really n
ice!!

Mike that would be great.
For those following along at home, you can see the space I'm talking about in Mike's
pic. What I'm struggling with is if I mount the jacks to the the aluminum
side panel that is underneath Abby's panel how best to modify Abby's panel
to get access to the jacks. The area in question on Abby's panel is some sort
of fiber board covered with fabric (in my case syn leather) which is about 3/16
to 1/4" thick (but is compressible to something less than 3/16" based upon
my unscientific pinch test). I'm leery of cutting up Abby's work so I've got
to get this right the first time.
My first thought is to simply cut holes in Abby's panel where the jacks are and
finish it off with a second mounting nut that would sandwich the fabric between
the two nuts. Sounds too simple which is why I'm looking for opinions.

I created and painted a metal plate to put on top of that area
that I mounted the jacks on. Then, cut a slightly undersized
hole to match in Abby's stuff, and screwed those parts together.
For the aluminum panel below, I notched out the area so that I
could still slide the panel across and snap it in place.

Constant Speed). My findings concluded with the zerk, or grease fittings themselves,
were the culprit. Somehow the check ball does not seat properly, allows
a slight amount of grease to be released, which then is slung out and shows
itself as an ugly pucker factor on the windscreen at cruise. In checking with
other owners of RVs, same prop, my issue was not a stand alone issue. The
fix of course is simply replacement of the fittings, proper torque, and install
the grease fitting end covers with safety wire on all four of them. If you
don't have the fitting covers, Hartzell will send you some and they are cheap
- any prop shop will of course also have them. It is interesting to note that
sometimes pilots/owners told me that their grease fitting issue happened right
after they serviced the prop, or after overhaul, and others stated that they
had not touched anything on the prop for a year and it just "happened".

one to address and have knowledge of.

car in the morning and while it is still cold firmly hold the brake pedal down,
put the A/T in gear, and at the same time with the other foot push the gas
pedal to the floor and perform a WOT stall test on the torque convertor?
Might not go over too well with all those cold moving parts in both the engine
and transmission. Would it take it? Probably. Would something break? Probably
not, but not really the best thing to do if you want things to last. So
regarding our props and cycling, we are just trying to respectably check that
it is functioning, then go about our flight for the day - just a slight drop
in RPM (certainly not under 1500), no oil on the wind screen, back in, and off
we go!

Hi Guys,
-
Is there anyone out there who has implemented an audio mixer for expanding
the number of unswitched inputs to their audio panel?
-
Which model did you use and what is your experience?- Alternatively did a
nyone simply use one (or more)-of the unused switched inputs and relabell
ed (if so how) the switch accordingly?
-
In my case I have a GMA-347 and need seven unswitched inputs (it comes with
five).
-
Thanking you all in anticipation,

Hey Guys,
The traveling insert kit is on the way. Gary had trouble with a couple of inserts
breaking off prematurely and he has added extra to the kit.
Tom, Mike, Steve, Chris, and Michael, your bolts will go out tomorrow since you
either didn't want the kit, or you got on the list after the kit and bolts had
already left. I'll let you know about the cost (.80 ea plus shipping) since
they will be shipped separately.
It would be considerate of those waiting if you would post here when you are finished
and sending it on to the next on the list.

Well, I built my own audio panel/intercom, so I guess the answer to your question

Google "LM324" and "mixer" and you'll see some ideas. Or I can email you the circuit
I used. Cost about $5.
