MGL Avionics User Forum

I’ve attempted similar ‘work arounds’ but to no avail. If the same aircraft type wandered around the same as mine does, equipped with Garmin or Dynon kit, I could accept it was something to do with the low wing loading. The fact they don’t (and I’ve tested quite a few now) points to trouble at the M...

Hi Jim, I have the MGL servos. No capstan, just the normal arm. As I said, I reckon the servos should be okay but they probably just get bad commands from the EFIS (or no commands……either way it wanders too much).

I suspect you are correct in that this seems to be the standard response for anything that suggests the AHARS does not perform well. It's funny how 'vibration' causes the kit to suddenly do a bit of a dance, when a second before it was behaving itself and nothing has changed inside or outside the ai...

I have to admit I am getting pretty fed up with the lacklustre performance of the MGL autopilot but would genuinely like to do something to get it sorted out. Why does my autopilot think it's perfectly acceptable to climb 300 ft before it realises it needs to descend? Today I had a 450 ft descent be...

I managed to plug the EFIS into the power and backed up the setup files to the SD card before changing the battery (with the unit now unplugged). A few minor things were lost (virtual fuel tank went to zero) and I'll have to take a look at the transponder because the ADSB track didn't show up on FR2...

Thank you for that info Rainier and it would be very interesting to see how you get on with the radio. It NORMALLY remembers the last frequencies but volumes, squelches etc revert to default. How about settings such as autopilot, transponder, types of screens to display (custom) etc? Should I back t...

I'm not convinced the C2032 battery in my iEFIS Lite is doing its job. Come to that, I'm not 100% about the 'keep alive' wire either. I say this because every time I power down the unit it forgets the radio settings and I have to reset the intercom volume, squelch, aux volume etc each time. The iEFI...

I do admire your persistence in this and your GPS snag. I wish you the best of luck resolving both and not rushing off to the Dynon shop

Fair enough :D Thought you might have had an MGL EFIS. I suppose the compass could go overhead and the transponder in its hole. Wouldn’t be an all MGL panel, I know, but at least it would be replacing another non-MGL instrument. I do like the iPad holder. Got the same in mine and I reckon they are a...

I don't think you've missed anything, Don. My aircraft is set up the same as yours and I've left the boxes unticked. It seems to do an okay job but definitely a bit of waffling, especially if the slip ball is out a little.

We'll wait and see if Rainier tells us to tick the boxes
