Re: SP9 Crash on TakeOff???

Hi All, We have two Voyager EFIS's in our fiberglass Jabiru 430, with nearly 1000 odd hours on it. No aerobatics here and not as nimble as RV's. Our 4 x Sp's units have all been attached with Velcro since the plane was new. We have owned the plane for the last two years and during this time I have n...

Re: RDAC Sensors Stopped Working on EFIS

Thanks Rainer, I did not realize that solder get so brittle from vibration, but it certainly seems crystalized from this microscope picture. My wires running to the EFIS were not that well supported when I removed my instrument panel for the first time, but they are much better supported now. So I g...

RDAC Sensors Stopped Working on EFIS

Hi All, Some times things just happen and I think not another issue with my Pilot side EFIS. I can't believe the number of cracks and dry joints in this particular serial number EFIS has had, ( hang on, I better clarify something here, my plane has done just on a 1000's hours and the EFIS would be a...

Re: Issue with Voyager EFIS GPS.

Well here is another little up date. Something has lessened the occurrence of my GPS issues since I pulled the instrument panel and changed the order of the connections on my instrument panel's negative bus bar. So now, only on odd occurrence this GPS issue is happening, the problem has moved from m...

Re: Issue with Voyager EFIS GPS.

Hi All, Just a quick note, as weeks are slipping away and I am guessing others may be reading this thread hoping to solve their own GPS issues. I did not have this GPS problem for the first 40 hours of flying this plane, then the GPS problems started, so after bench testing my EFIS's hardware and ge...

Re: charge/ammeter iEfis

Hi Mike, Something I did forget to say, with my type of MGL Amp sensors, it needs to be calibrated. A simple thing to do from memory, once the senor is wired into the RADAC and before attaching it to the wire you want to sense the amps in, you need to calibrate the senor in the EFIS menu. It does ex...

Re: charge/ammeter iEfis

Hi Mike, I have included a pic of the MGL Amp sensor I have on my plane, not sure if MGL has supplied other styles of amp sensor. Where my amp sensor is attached to my electrical system at position 3 in the diagram below, it is on the main positive wiring to the planes master bus and switch, this su...

Re: GPS failures

Hi Ofergd Why are your GPS antenna's failing so often? First off the number one problem as Rainer mentioned, vibration, vibration and vibration and then more vibration again. Vibration is the number one problem for most avionics, the more vibration you have in your airframe the less trouble free ope...
