    Sheilded, Unsheilded, or twisted wire for Pitot Heat?

    I was wondering what is "proper" pitot heat wire? It appears that 14 gauge is probably the minimum red/black power wire size for my length, with 22 guage for the white signal wire to EMS pin 9. Although some references advocate sheilding for nearly all applications, I didn't see mention of...

    Remove panels during winter or long idle periods?

    I have a dual panel HDX system, with the airplane stored in an unheated metal T-hanger hanger, concrete floors but South facing doors that aren't particularly tight, in Southern Michigan.

    Sectionals no longer clear and bright

    I have twin 10" HDX displays and a GTN650 in a "new" experimental with 40.5 hobbs hours. I normally keep a Seattle avionics sectional chart on the right screen, which up to now has been clear and sharp. However, now the display is too dim to read (even in the hanger), kind of "pinkish" in...

    Differences between HDX and Classic worth the cost?

    I am at the point of having a panel built for my EAB. On their website, Dynon lists a comparison of HDX vs. Classic, but it doesn't really show much difference except one is touch, the other is not. But from this forum, I gather that the HDX screen is brighter, but off axis viewing and glare...
