Update: Went for a quick flight and the EFIS is still randomly rebooting and going through the start sequence. Randomness is anywhere from 2-3 seconds to every 2-3 minutes. Running G3 version 1.1.2.1 and flight ops version 1.0.0.4. As an additional observation, there is no internal EFIS GPS fix avai...

By the way, the radio works great!

Upgraded to G3 Explorer version 1.1.2.1 with Flt Ops version 1.0.0.4. After the update, the EFIS would reboot about ever 45 seconds. Any thoughts? Just finished installing the V16 radio and Razor control head.

Sorry for the late reply .... I sent the unit to the repair facility in Torrance, CA and got it back about 2 weeks late with a new pitot/static sensor and the firmware and data bases updated. Great work, so thanks Torrance (Hiram)! The only thing I found was the Hobbs/Maint/Tach hours were all reset...

Okay, correction time. It was the pitot sensor that broke off, not the static.That kind of changes the repair logic. Should probably send it off to Michigan Avionics.

Thanks for the reply! I did read in the manual that for a “low performance airplane “, which I think the LongEz is, I could just leave it off and use cockpit air as a source. I just don’t like having something broken! I’ll standby for more input. I generally fly below 10,000’ and airspeed less than ...

While taking out the EFIS to do some new wiring, I accidentally broke off the static line nipple. Is this something I can fix/replace by taking off the back cover, or do I need to send it to Michigan Avionics for repair?

Is there a way to enter a V-route on a flight plan? I've tried on the EFIS and looked in documentation and haven't found it. I'd like to be able to flight plan for example: KCPK SUNNS V194 CVI ..... If I type in V194, the EFIS says it's not found.

Thanks,

Chris

I recently installed an electric speed brake on a LongEZ using a Servo City actuator. Other than the power/ground pair, it has 3 wires (2 potentiometer reference and 1 potentiometer wiper (position signal). Is there a way to connect these wires to the EFIS Lite (with an extender), to get the speed b...
