Hi Bill-
>Glen, even better. For night landings I always have my lights on...
Does this mean the random difraction and / or reflection of the landing lights
is adequate to gauge the flap position, or does the beacon do it for you, or how
exactly are you seeing the flap position at night?

Glen, I have white paint on my flaps and wings. Very shinny white paint.
They reflect light very well so I can see when the flaps are down. I have a tail
light at the bottom of my rudder. I suspect that light reflects off of the
white underside of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator onto the upper rear
wing surface and flap. The rear light is a constant beam bulb that has a 210
degree defuse lens. I figure that is how I can see the top of the wing in the
dark. Do I detect from your reply some disbelief from your tone? Could it be
you never fly at night and look outside at you wings and see them? That must
be pretty scary not to be able to see your wings. Perhaps you fly planes
with little bitty wings and even smaller flaps or your vision is poor. I think
you should have a large well lite flap indicator in your plane. A very large
one so you'll always know when your flaps are up or down in the dark. Best
regards, Bill

| Subject: | GRT AHRS Pitch & Roll Calibration... |
How do I adjust the pitch and roll calibration of the AHRS on the Grand Rapids
EFIS HX AHRS? I go into the AHRS Maintenance page and find the Pitch and Roll
numbers for AHRS 1 and for AHRS 2, but when I select "Change", but none of the
numbers are adjustable. I mounted my dual AHRS as level as I possibly could,
but there's no way a mere mortal such as myself could possible get it perfect.
Surely you are allowed to dial in the pitch and roll attitudes........?
Thanks for the help!
