Latest Update. Recalibrated it. No change. Took it for a taxi - engaged heading hold and steered left and right etc. The servo now moves the stick full range to hard against the stops. Seems to act different in use to in the test. Took it for a fly. WOW!!!!! Did everything perfectly. Went...

Sorry, did that. Did it three times. Even put a white line marker on the face and the hub of the movement arm for centred, full right and full left to be sure I was lining things up right etc. The only thing I thought was perhaps funny but could have been right was: It asks for full left...

I have just installed the AP74 and one servo (SV32) as roll servo with my Flitedek 180 in my jabiru 430. The problem I have is: When I go through the calibration setup it seems to do everything OK. When defining the left and right roll limits it seems to accept the limit of travel positions...

I'm rewiring my whole system to accomodate the AP 74 in the dash etc etc. I have a Flightdek 180. I am pretty sure I have seen the answer to my question somewhere but a search has failed to reveal it. Are all the black wires on both the 37 pin plug and the 25 pin looms connected to a common...

Hi David, I take your point about the solid vs multistrand wire and I agree. The roll of Cat 5e can stay in my shed for it's real purpose. However just to show I am hard to get along with, ;) Your comment about the shielded wire is in direct contradiction to the Dynon support answer to...

I have been reading that any twisted wires are suitable and had a thought that I have a roll of cat5E networking cable. This has 4 sets of twisted pairs within the one bundle. They look like they are about 24 or 26 gauge solid conductor. Would that cable be suitable - would sure save me...

I have finally got my cable. So for anyone else looking for one in Oz. Jabiru source their cables from Tuthills Cables in Victoria (Ph. 03 98397800) but it became quite complex. I contacted Jabiru first. They only have the standard size ones, which are too long. Jabiru initially said to...

Hi Again. Yeah I am in the same position. Been planning on installing AP since they were first advertised but been waiting to see how others do it and for the bugs to be ironed out first.  Time has arrived to do it I think (and the US$:AUS$ ratio is getting better) My next question is - The...

Re: Jabiru install hints I'm just about to send away for the servos and AP panel to instal in my Jabiru 430. But I would like some advice from one of you guys who has already been there done that. Anyone care to share their experience. Where did you install the servos? Did you install...

Yep, But I only fly VFR so the attitude line being a little off was ignorable. I will do a full console readjust in the next week or so when I get time. Thanks

Re: Zeroing the slip & skid ball As I said. it's a big job. Simply tightening the fasteners and grommets hasn't worked. The console needs some fibreglass fillets installed to make it sit square again. To gain adequate access some of the instruments and much of the looms have to be removed...

My Instrument panel in my Jabiru seems to have sagged a little on the pilot side. Presumably due to the weight of t he instruments etc in our hot weather.  Now my skid ball is reading slightly off to the left when the plane is standing on flat ground, with wings and body measured  horizontal...

Nothing useful to report. Australian Avionics turned out to be not helpful. Seemed to not know what they actually did on the other Microair radio - not letting on at least. Maybe they just turned the mic gain back (and charged $162 dollars for it!) Said I would have to talk to Microair...

Hi David, I am in Cairns so it's a bit far to see you. Since posting the question I have spoken to one Microair tech who gave some non-specific adivice - turn back the mic gain on the radios and add some ferrite beads on all the cables particularly the radio antenae cables. But yesterday I...

I have intermittently had problems with my set up in my jabiru J430. I have a D 180 flitedeck and two M760 Microair VHF radios with a four place intercom. Intermittently I get horrible interference through the radios ONLY on transmit. Receive is fine. When I transmit, the loud interference...

I went through a lot of testing and emailling people including the makers of the sensor. I originally also read the instructions to mean the sensor should be on an incline. After talking to people I came to the conclusion I had read it wrong. The information I got in the end was the ideal...

The fuel flow sensor is very sensitive to position. I presume you have checked the position of the sensor since it became unstable? Originally mine was not completely horizontal and gave high readings (48 - 54 l/hr) especially in the climb but it then dropped to high 28 - 30s in cruise...

Your post made me recall my problems when I set up my Jabiru 3300. Search and look at my original post "Abnormally high RPM with jabiru 3300" in the EMS installation section from a year and a bit ago. I can't give much advice - when I did my install I recall it was out till I rechecked and...

""If it's turbulent, its not going to be easy to push any buttons touch screen or not."" If you have used a touch screen system in flight in a small aircraft you probably would not have the same opinion. A normal button has a feel to it, can take a bit of stabilizing pressure prior to...

I repositioned my sensor yesterday. It was not truly horizontal - had a bit of uphill angle (in direction of fuel flow) although it was positioned so the wires came out in a vertical plane but with a slight rearward lean. I installed longer fuel hose before it so I could position the sensor...
