But I don't get anything on the GTX-327 serial input test display. I have been successful at getting AirData Z-format from the GRT EFIS at 9600 baud into either of the GTX-327 serial ports, so the ports are good. The NMEA 0183 data registers correctly on other devices reading it so the GPS serial output seem fine. The GTX-327 just won't seem to see the GPS data for some reason. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else tried this successfully? Thanks!

Subject: RE: RV8-List: GPS Serial Data to Garmin GTX-327 Transponder Hi Matt, Don't do it in "test" mode. It should be 4800 (IIRC) from the GRT, and then setup the input on the GTX RS232 port. If you turn both on in normal mode you should see the PressAlt on the GTX327. It's worked for us hundreds of times!

It seems that this tape might be a little to fragile to help hold the wood forming blocks from moving the Trim Tab Skin, while bending the Tabs. Have not tried it yet = trying to minimize my mistakes. Any suggestions: What TAPE did you use and where did you buy it ???
