I'll check the circumstances but yes it was $950 :-/ Jake J

If it's the same as a friends upgrade that will be at least $950, don't you just love Garmins pricing ::) Jake J

Don That is what you should see on all Dynon devices I believe ;) Jake J

FWIW -when my Gps fails or the IFR requirement for Tso 145/146 units date arrives here I am NOT buying Garmin. Call me pig headed but I refuse to pay the charges that Garmin have just to do upgrades or to 'look' at a unit. >:( Bring on the revolution. Jake J

Battson Great to hear, our discussions proved fruitful & saved you some money 8-) As mentioned to you , I use the AMP brand of terminals & don't have any issues with installations now. Jake J

Correct :). Wondered when that version was going to be posted. A.s.s.u.m.e. Isn't vulgar either but the message still gets across - sometimes the interpretation of acronyms can be difficult :D Jake J

Louis - as we say "no worries mate" ;D ;D Jake j

Manufacturers guidance usually takes precedence however there are certain 'qualifications' here.  It's all about context. Ignition P lead shields are grounded both ends however audio shields are grounded at the audio panel or intercom if no audio panel used.  Phone/Mic jacks shields are left...

Don Ill pm you tonight. Jake J Glasair IIS -FT

I hear you  ;D ;D , didn't someone say "be careful what you wish for " ?  I'm referring to the constant harping for new features as it just translates to larger install manuals  ::)  & we know a few people, or two, don't have the time or inclination to read them  :) Jake J

Battson Check your PMs. Jake J

Ok, point taken. :)  We, many of us, do things in different ways for different reasons & that's the way it is.  With aircraft systems there is getting to be much less of analogue & much more serial data streaming.  My back is protected (hopefully I don't need it ) by systems/electrical backups. ...

David said - "There is an RV10 owner down here with a very disjointed system, VPX, Skyview, GTN and a TRIO AP. The trim via the VPX kept giving him all sorts of strange erratic problems. I am not sure why those problems existed, but when fed direct to the SV-EMS all the problems went away."...

From my experience Vern doesn't release a product unless he is happy with it, after all he is a aircraft builder too and therefore one of us :) I'm satisfied that anything he designs is well thought. Jake J

DS - just an FYI ;) ALL the installations I have done for the last 2 1/2 years have been using VP-X exclusively, maybe the uptake is not so evident in the US but I don't see why, the VP-X is an excellent unit IMO :) Jake J

I don't bother with anti-seize for the Cht but any of the anti- seize brands will do the job ;). That's what they are used for. Jake J

Murray FYI - The VP-X flap circuit has been improved to cater for the higher current draw of the Glasair & Lancair flap motors.  I have no issues using the VP-X for the flaps  :) No need for relays etc. Jake J

I'd like to know more because if that is the case there will be a lot of aircraft affected, especially the not TSo'd Microairs, Xcoms & Icoms IMO. ::) Just had a thought - are you really talking TSO or the ACMA ...

Sunfish Re the OZ side of things - I have spoken to a guy at Airservices & they don't have 8.33 on their radar, it's just not needed here for the foreseeable future. Read that to be 15 + years ;) Jake J

Correct David, use ONLY the Hex code NOT the Binary code supplied with the registration of aircraft in Australia. Search the Internet for a Binary to Hexadecimal converter  ;) Jake J
