Re: EFIS Audio On/Off function

I have never been able to get it to work, every time i enable it in the settings i lose all audio, no matter what switching i use.

I have the A16 now so don't have the need for it anymore.

Sitting it the drawer at the moment for exactly that reason if anything goes wrong with the current one.

Re: Autopilot Left of Track Issue

I'm convinced it is a vibration issue, particularly with the lite versions. I had the same thing until I added an SP7, flies straight down the hits now

Re: A/P Pitch Servo failure

JimJab Thanks for the reply, I had the same antenna that you have behind the sound curtain and binned it for the one I have now, just couldn't get it to work well enough. I think I have fixed the issue with the Servo by re-routing the wiring and adding some ferrites. It has been behaving itself ever...

Re: A/P Pitch Servo failure

I haven't had a chance to check the outcome, but have added some clip on ferrites in various locations, as advised elsewhere.

I'll let you know the outcome.

A/P Pitch Servo failure

Hi all I have a jabiru with 2 axis A/P that works a treat, until I broadcast on my second comm. The antenna for this comm utilises crossed copper tape on the floor of the fuselage which continues around the Pitch Servo. The servo is effectively inside the ground plane, bit not electrically connected...

Re: Raster maps

I made a complete set of Aus WACs a couple of weeks ago, haven't had a chance to test them in the efis yet.

Will let you know when I do.

Re: Razor head keeps changing frequencies

I had that and fixed it by loosening off the screws holding it to the panel.

I think having then right was forcing the screen a little and giving these position touches.

Re: Why Doesn't The Autopilot Do Its Job Properly?

I have had time to test the new SP7 fitment. I spent quite a bit of time making sure the bracket was solid and isolated from vibration, particularly High-frequency vibrations. I did this by fitting it inside a cube of Medium Density foam. The result was chalk and cheese compared to the inbuilt AHRS ...

Thats exactly what I did this week, and the problems I had also disappeared.
