"I don't really want to use the remote kit and mount the sender on the firewall due to another failure point being created. e.g. the hose." I understand your reluctance to remote mount the transducer however there are literally thousands of engines with transducers done this way (including...

To make sure of what you're seeing is correct, & to save money & frustration, I'd check wht you are seeing against calibrated gauges ;) I'm sure this is not your situation, only a generalised comment/observation, but too many appear not to realise that some new gauges or transducers can in...

Hi Dannie That is the only place I've mounted them (on about 20 RV's), up high just underneath the deck at the next bulkhead aft of luggage bay panel, without any issues. HTH :) Jake J

I'd tend to agree about the SV52 for Roll Control especially if any sort of tip tanks are used. :) Jake J

Dennis I've just seen your panel on another topic & there isn't an Ray Allen indicator shown so I guess you are displaying via the SV? There could be a few reasons why you are not seeing full travel but I'd do this first ie disconnect the trim linkage and 'calibrate' the trim by physically...

So, although it travels the full length you are seeing only part of that, correct ? If so then you could try to re solder/repair the indicator (these are delicate units IMO & losing segments of Leds is common), just needs a steady hand ;) Jake J

Sure Can! Just need to physically connect it and do the wiring, t do this for the flaps all the time ;) Jake J

My question has been answered with a yes, thanks. Jake J

Does anyone know if the GTN units give a Glideslope display on the SV ? TIA Jake J

I should have thought about that more & stated it would be ok around the EMS module only, however I've never had to use Mu Metal in any aircraft yet either. Jake J

Dennis In composite aircraft I 'bond' all the 'boxes' and instrument panels with braided straps, reduces chances of the types of issues you are seeing. It may be worthwhile using a MuMetal cover on the EMS & ADAHRS cosidering where you have these mounted in relation to the Com antennas...

Bear with me guys, I'm only trying to help here to find a solution. ;) Where do you have the PTT grounded ? Jake J

I should have mentioned also that I've noticed a few LSA aircraft from Europe have electrolytic capacitors fitted as standard equipment. Jake J

Have you tried turning off the alternator (when on the ground) then using the PTT ? Sounds weird I know but these 2 others (using different sytems, 1 x Dynon legacy & 1 x Rocky Mountains) are an example--- Aircraft 1 - CHTs were working ok before engine pulled but when engine replaced #1 & #3...

In that case I'd also add an Electrolytic capacitor --- http://www.bandc.biz/electrolyticfiltercapacitor.aspx into one of the genny output wires, better for the radio too ;) Jake J

R59 Those symptoms are definately due to a 'bad' connection, perseverance will find it ;) Jake J

Thanks Dennis, however I am aware of that, but I figured these 'issues' were with earlier units ;) I'll pm you. Jake J

FWIW guys, I've never used the 'filters' on the EMS 220 just have them on the SV's. Jake J :)

Tricobob Wow, that was unexpected as I (we) thought you would have the settings done correctly. Glad to hear all is well now , enjoy :) ps - thnkx for the feedback. Jake J

Mike You are correct, they are .250" :) Jake J
