Jae,
I agree with you. My left leg would not let the stick go that far. I would have
to lift up my left leg and move the stick under it and to the left to get the
right stick to interfere with the mixture control. Nevertheless, the perfectionist
in me couldn't let it be. I was also concerned that the DAR would find
it unacceptable. Full control stick deflections in all corners is a standard
check and you look for interference, such as mine, binding of bell cranks,
adequacy of control stops, and movement of rod end bearings (not hard against
the retaining bracket).
In reality though I could not see how I could actually get the stick way over there
in flight.

That just reminded me of 2 other things.
I have a GTN-650 and part of the deal with it is you buy one subscription and it
covers your "system", which for me is the WAAS navigator AND the G3X.
The discrete inputs on the G3X are handy. On my panel design I failed to include
an alert that my fuel pump was on. If you takeoff with it running I just had
to remember to turn it off. You can guess my success rate on that. Also with
the Infinity stick grips the flap switch in (on) off on. It stays on in the
up position. You can't hear the motor running so you can also see how easy
it is to leave it on.
With the G3X no problem. I wired two of the discrete inputs to give me a caution
when either the flap motor or fuel pump is running. You can define your own
labels and mine says "fuel pump on" and "flap motor". This displays on the
PFD screen and also gives me a yellow annunciator light.
This is just an example of the flexibility of the system.

This is very true wether you fly with short small people who slide their seat forward
or big giant people who have it slid back. You will run out of throw due
to body parts before it will hit the stops side to side. You will also never
use full forward but will definitely use full aft.
The RV-10 has too much pitch authority to use full forward. I still would recommend
cutting the sticks down and making sure the stick doesn't hit the panel
or any switches though. But I don't think I'd bother going to extremes about
the mixture/throttle/prop controls.

For those flying, did your DAR make any comments with regards to stick
travel and clearance from panel/switches, etc.? I would expect that nose
down travel would be needed most at full aft c.g. location, and no
flaps...kind of unusual to both be at full aft and need to not use flaps
or flaps inop. Probably don't need near full travel even in that event.

Dave,
My flap motor shuts off when it hits either limit. Nice to have that feature regardless
of the visual warnings.
I was thinking yesterday that its been about 5 years since I turned on a transponder
from standby to on since my equipment turns on / off automatically. Not
sure I would remember moving to a legacy transponder.

| Subject: | Re: Stick - Panel Interference |
I had the FSDO do my plane. He took the stick through full motion looking
for interference (as I expected him to do). I have the Infinity grips with
standard sticks but cut down to just enough to mount the grip.
I agree with all the comments however that the pilot's body is far more
limiting on stick travel than anything else. Recommend however that you
make sure there is no way for the stick to get caught on anything under the
panel. Also remember that the stick travel is much different (less travel)
with all the push tubes connected and in the final rig position. So if you
are still in the fuselage stage take this into consideration before
attempting to fix a problem that you may not have.

I dropped Vans (ShowPlanes) controller in favor of the FPS-Plus Reflex
because of the infinite motor run too. I think it's a little more

I still put the visual light on the annunciator panel though just to in
case I elect to use a different controller at some point in the future.

I can't remember if mine wouldn't stop at the upper limit or the lower limit
. It has been too long ago. But one of the limits on mine didn't exist.
I also had more for stop positions on the FPS Plus Reflex. It just ended up b

My DAR looked briefly, and made no comment, about stick travel. But I had made
sure it didn't hit anything, nor can it hang up on the panel.
I have a Tosten grip, and I both cut the stick down, and bent it a little more.
Exception: the Tosten grip can rotate, and if I rotate it abnormally then it can
touch the alternate air knob (full forward, full right). But it can't hang up,
at worst it would activate the alternate air if I pulled it back like that.
As Tim said, I cannot imagine using full nose down in any circumstance, including
aft loadings. But for landing with forward CG I do wish it had a bit more nose
up authority. I have to carry 18 lbs ballast when solo (I'm short so the seat
is one notch away from full forward).

For those who are still considering what system to buy, Dave has an excellent point
that is often overlooked: "little things count".
It's easy to overlook the little things. I got some good advice from Stein who
steered me toward the Horizon over the Sport, both from GRT, for my needs.
HX has 8 serial inputs, more than the 4 the Sport had. "So what?" I thought. Well,
guess what. I ended up using 7 of them! Same thing for analog inputs. When
you're new to this it's really hard to know how many you're going to want. But
whatever system you settle on don't forget to at least try to see if it has
enough of the little things, like digital and analog inputs, that you'll eventually
want.

Okay, I'm doing this from memory as the wiring diagram is at the airport.
I cannot remember the actual port numbers. For the HX it doesn't matter, they're
all the same. For the HS only 2 ports are hi speed. The HX has 8 high speed
ports; the HS has 6 total, 2 high speed and 4 low.
Stuff I have to be connected: GRT Horizon HX, Horizon HS, GRT EIS (GRT has engine
instruments in a separate box called EIS), remote AHRS (air data, heading reference
system and remote magnetometer); Trio Pro autopilot, SL-30 nav/com, G420
com/gps (no VOR), gtx 327 transponder. I have a wxworks xm weather receiver
which connects to the HX via a USB connection.
Stuff I have which is not connected to the GRT: home built audio panel/intercom,
backup EFIS Dynon D6, hand held GPS, hand held nav/com, magnetic compass(!).
As you probably know, the serial ports come in input/output pairs which are independent
except they both have to run at the same speed.
On the HX, serial inputs I have: AHRS, interlink from HS, SL30, gps (from 420),
EIS
On the HX, serial outputs I have: AHRS, interlink to HS, SL30, Trio autopilot,
EIS, air data (altitude) to GTX 327, XM wx to HS
(This is where I used 7 of the 8 available)
On the HS, serial inputs I have: AHRS, xm wx (this must be high speed port), SL30,
interlink from HX, gps from 420, EIS. (I used all 6 available ports).
On the HS, serial outputs, I have: interlink to HX.
You may notice a serial line out to the 420 is missing. Stein wired it so the data
going to the GTX327 loops back to the 420 input. Otherwise another serial
out from one of the Horizons would have been needed.
I could have moved some of the outputs, like the EIS or even the air data to the
transponder, from the HX over to the HS. I would have had to do this if I had
only 6 ports (eg two HS units). You'll also notice that there is redundancy,
e.g., gps and SL30 wired to both units. This data could go to just one EFIS,
and then over the interdisplay link. But this way you don't lose that data if
one EFIS fails.
There is also ARINC data (HX only) between the HX, 420, and Trio.
I'd be happy to try to clarify this if you have questions.
