Re: Trio gold standard servos
Reduce the servo magnitude for bank if the control is too much. With the Trio servos watch out for clutch slipping and excessive gear play. The clutch can be adjusted (you need to remove the cover). Normally in my experience with the Trio servos the bank was good but the pitch dicey on some aircraft...

Re: Trio gold standard servos
The USB host ports on the EFIS supplies 5V power to connected devices. In this case the extender. A dedicated 5V regulator is used in the EFIS for this. The regulator is on the same PCB that holds the host connectors. It gets supplied by 12V from your power input. This is routed on the actual backbo...

Re: RDAC for CAN
yes with new programming should not be an issue. The challenge usually is to get decent documentation on the ECU CAN bus protocol used.

Re: Weight and Balance G3
That's what the thing does.
You define a station as fuel. It then calculates the position of your cross based on fuel load. Similar for baggage etc.
It needs physical fuel tanks for that. Virtual tanks are not counted.

This is a video made by avid MGL user Dutchroll. This should explain how it works. It's a little more involved but quite powerful.

Re: iEFIS Lite and RDAC’s
There was quite a bit on the old forum, sadly lost now. But go onto youtube and search for "Dutchroll". This is from a MGL user who got a bit into this and made some really nice videos. You have to page down a bit until you get to his videos (once you are past the many videos describing how to fly o...

Re: DC Current sensor calibration
We do have a closed loop current measurement device now which is compatible. This is not sensitive to tray magnetic fields and does not have to be calibrated (other than the "zero" point).

Re: Autopilot "Wallowing"
The AP will not use the compass except in the case where the GPS is not working. With compass heading it is less stable due to lag but still tracks well (just cannot correct as quickly as when flying on GPS). Does this happen in dead calm air ? If yes how does it behave in turbulence ? I can tweak i...

Give it a try - not tested on real EFIS yet but should work. Works on simulator.
Note: First line is header.

Re: iEFIS Lite and RDAC’s
Your XF must be set to RDAC 2 (via the dip switch).
You must make a custom engine monitoring portion of your displays (you can just copy your existing) and assign whatever you want to use from the XF to RDAC number 2.
