Re: iEFIS dicky SD card slot

Ok cool so at least I know it can be done. My solder skills are rudimentary, so I'll investigate having this done by someone who's at a higher skill level than myself! I might even call the MGL guys here after the break. They've always been pretty helpful with minor glitches like this.

iEFIS dicky SD card slot

Anyone experienced an issue where the iEFIS SD card slot spits the card back out each time and won't lock it against the spring tension anymore? This has just happened on my Explorer.

Re: Electrical protection?

But it will restart immediately and our boot times are really fast (fastest in the industry by a long way) - the MX1 is effectively instant. The iEFIS G3 is no slouch either. I've shown a number of people how fast mine boots up, aligns, and acquires an internal GPS fix and they just shake their hea...

Re: Weight and Balance G3

Ah ok this seems to depend on whether your fuel tank selection is a virtual tank (you just get a display of the current CofG) or a "sensed" fuel tank, where you get the other crosses. My Pitts actually has only a virtual tank - fuel remaining is calculated by fuel flow in the EFIS and I just have th...

Re: Weight and Balance G3

There's actually no menu setting for these numbers. They can only be pre-defined in the "wb.def" file and any changes would require the creation of a new wb.def file in the simulator and uploading that to the EFIS. When you create that file using the weight & balance function in the EFIS simulator/d...
