Thanks gentlemen. The GMA 240 has two 44-pin connectors so, I presume, I would require four connectors, two male and two female to make extension harnesses.
Bob, if you have these connectors in your ...

I am in the process of upgrading my panel and would like to move the Garmin GMA 240 audio panel across the instrument panel. It would be a move of about two feet. Can I make two extension wire harness ...

If you have one cylinder running much cooler than the others it means the mixture going into that cylinder is richer than the others. If you have fuel injection you can change out the injector to that ...

Hello

I have an RV7A with over 400 hours on a Lycoming IO360, dual Lightspeed Ignition, Hartzell constant speed prop. We have done lots of cross country from coast to coast and into the Northwest T ...

"Let me ask this. Does this happen only when the engine is hot?
If so I'll relate my 2 cents"

No, the last start, a couple of days ago, was the first for a couple of months and there wa ...

The "pause" is absolute silence. Nothing. It could be as long as four or five seconds then rotation.

I posted the questions below on the Lycoming List and received some good advice. I would like to pose the questions again to my learned friends on the Aeroelectric List to see if I can get a little mo ...

Thanks Francis and Barry. I will start with this. Appreciate the input.

I have a Sky-Tec starter on a Lycoming IO360. It has always started the engine BUT lately when I push the START button there is a pause. Sometimes it is a long pause then it kicks in. Sometimes I rele ...

Here is an EAA video on an alternate power supply. I installed it early in my construction and used it throughout. I have used it often since I st ...

Hi Mike,

I had 3 inspections done on my RV7A. It could easily be done in two as you proposed. The reason for 3, I was leaving Manitoba where I started the project and wanted to have the tail feathe ...

Hello Owen,

Yes, perhaps 'certified' is not exactly correct. I have been working with Transport Canada and in the end they removed "VFR ONLY" from my Special Certificate of Airworthiness. ...

I am operating a Z12 electrical system in my RV7A and have been very pleased, 200+ hours. The aircraft has recently been certified IFR. It has a Dynon Skyview and a simple switch on the panel to show ...

Hi Mike,
Great news! It is a big but very worth while challenge to build an RV. I have an RV7A in Sask. and I just broke 200 hours today. Winnipeg to Tisdale with a 35 Knot headwind. My RV was 9 year ...

Hi Matt,

Yes, I used the Aircraft Spruce Windshield Fairing on my RV7A. I was very happy with the final result. The only thing I had to do to get it to fit well was cut it at the top center and rem ...

To everyone who replied on and off line, thank you very much.

We have gleaned a great deal of of good info that we will apply.

It seems every trip requires a good excuse to get it started and ...

Fellow RVers,

My wife and I are planning a 4000nm trip in the RV7A leaving mid June. We live in Saskatchewan and will be heading east across Canada then south to NYC and Washington, DC. The tentat ...

Ralph,

I have an SD-20/SB1B-14 as a back-up unit with a Z12 architecture. I had an anomaly early on where, on my after start check, I would have both alternators selected ON. With everything stable ...

Early this morning I was in the hanger and did some major testing. I disconnected the 20 Amp Shunt I received originally from B&C when I got the 20 Amp Aux Alternator. I then temporarily installed ...
