Re: MGL Autopilot Finally having a Win- Update

Hi All, After re-rigging and trimming our aircraft, it was time to start looking again at my MGL auto-pilot settings and servos. What I had noticed after fixing the pitch servo clutch from slipping, quite often when on the ground and turning on the auto-pilot and selecting "Straight and Level", the ...

But there's two parts to an auto-pilot, th...

Re: Autopilot Finally Having a Win- Update

Hi All, Well its been while and we are further down the track with our auto-pilot. I too have had nearly every problem mention here on this forum in getting my auto- pilot to play nicely in my Jab 430/230. But we are nearly there, as I have finally got my auto-pilot to fly through the HITS, right on...

Re: Xtreme EMS

Hi Mike, Firstly, it does not matter which brand of avionics you own, Garmin, Dynon, MGL, GRT, they mostly all use the same basic type of engine sensor, so reading other aircraft or avionics forums can helpful you get a better picture about sensors and glass avionics. So back to fault finding for ou...

Re: enigma repair

Hi,

This may help you, it's about my voyager EFIS, but it could help you with some background information on fixing the SD card issue.

Re: Fuel Flow Jabiru Engine

Hi All, I have edited this post to be straight to the point. After thinking the MGL K-Factor Equation was wrong, I started surfing the internet about K-Factors and reading through a few different MGL & RDAC Manuals to see if I could find another K-Factor Equation. In the "Stratomaster EFIS - User Ma...

Re: Fuel Flow Jabiru Engine

Hi All, I have re-edited this post after some further research. It's been sometime since I posted to this thread. So to recap, we spent a fair bit of time checking out our aircraft's electrical systems, using oscilloscopes, electronic signal generators to emulate our fuel flow signals both on the gr...

Re: Connectors/cable management for RDAC XG

Here is some background information if you have quite a few pretty pennies to spend.
www.amphenol.com.au

If you want something more than Molex connectors, then go and google "Amphenol Automotive Connectors"

We use their multi pin connectors in our business.
