It definitely seems that the first screenshot does take more time than the subsequent ones. I didn't time the screen shots. Will next time I'm at the plane. I copied a large file from my computer to the drives to test the speed. The Dynon drive was about 10 Mb/sec. and the SanDisk Cruzer Fit...

I just recently installed new cylinders and was doing some testing to make sure things are working as they should. The problem is that it's difficult to extract some of the test data if it's buried in a one hour flight. I was doing inflight mag checks but because the changes were so subtle I...

It may be that the E-Mag may continue to output a tach signal even though it has failed. According to Mike Busch the best place to do a mag check is in the air at cruise and leaned out. You'll notice right away if one has failed. I do a pre flight mag check and a post flight mag check to make...

I tried a couple different USB sticks and the Dynon stick is definitely faster than most (all I've tried). Some of the screen shots were agonizingly slow with those cheap 1G free advertising USB sticks. I recently bought a SanDisk Cruzer Fit from Amazon so it didn't stick out of my panel and...

I'll probably fall asleep if I don't have to constantly fiddle with the trim but I'll give it a try anyhow. ;)

Is it rapid changes in altitude or does it pick out airspeed from the NMEA stream? My GTX327 didn't switch to ALT until I upgraded to firmware 2.1. I have the second serial port RX of the GTX327 connected to my GPS495 TX which outputs NMEA and VHF data. From the GTX327 Manual: Also under...

They didn't want Regina?

I'm thinking that a lot of thought went into both the aesthetics and human interface factors on the Skyview. Computers and more recently smart phones didn't gravitate to graphical user interfaces to confuse the user. I can understand grouping and lining up some items (CHT/EGT), but fail to see...

Those proposing the 5% screen with strictly numbers should read the text to the right of Figure 7 in the document Vern posted. :)

Yeah it's a bit surprising that a major international airport like Calgary isn't shown. I flew from Saskatoon (CYXE) to Atlanta last year so loaded the latest FAA data. I normally use Pocket FMS but thought I should use the official database. I was a bit surprised that neither Saskatoon (CYXE)...

I guess it's worth while sharing for the lessons learned. I did some updates recently so I was tweaking things and changed some settings in VP-X a few days earlier. Tower asked if I could depart no delay as they had a commercial on final. I was happy to oblige as I was breaking in new jugs and...

I took my Avionics switch out but put it back. It was annoying to have to shut down all the avionics individually when I just wanted to turn on the master to check some thing like the fuel level, or do an update, etc. You may want an ignition switch. I'm not sure what UL Power recommends, but...

I can use the plane again so good landing eh :)

I had an engine out on takeoff. When I upload to SavvyAnalysis the user log shows the flight, but the black box data doesn't. The flight in the user log is 25 minutes but the black box only has three minutes. I assume the black box records only flight time. But the three minutes should show up...

Thanks Vern - I had a look at your page and will keep watch there. Wiring directly to the pilot mic didn't work. It just killed the headset. I have BT streaming music but no phone functions for now.

I fly VFR and have a single com radio (with intercom) but looked with envy at the Audio Panels with phone and music bluetooth inputs. I fly solo half the time so a bluetooth enabled headset works but leaves the passenger to entertain themselves when I have one along. They are also pricy at...

Yes. I had to go back to my 3.1 backup to find it. Remove both the RPM L and RPM R.

Rather than bending the probe just relocate it. I moved my EGT sensors to the inside for better wiring. That way nothing is sticking out from the exhaust. I plugged the old hole with a stainless steel pull rivet. The aluminum ones melt. :-/

This forum is pretty quiet about the new G3X Touch. I haven't examined it in detail yet but isn't imitation the sincerest for of flattery. I'm pretty sure that the X team secretly wanted a SV in their planes. ;) I'll have to admit I like the stuff that comes from Garmin. It was a toss up...

Thanks. I think I'll give one a try.
