I've heard recently of another EIS doing thi ...

Anyone ever have a flo scan transducer fail on them?

A search has brought lots of discussion on location, but no discussion on how long they last.

I've been having problems with my EIS 6000 and ...

My wife and I are flying to the Albuquerque area in mid July in our RV-10. We'll be at KAEG for about a week. I'd like to meet other builders and EAA members in the area while we're there. If you're ...

I fly with600-6s, wanted a little better performance on unimproved airstrips. Definitely had to mod the wheel pants though.

This obviously does not apply for low altitude failure on takeoff but a failure at altitude; it may be possible to turn on the AP while troubleshooting. My Trutrak will maintain altitude until a mi ...

Interesting blog on the ping and puck CONOPs for ADS-B, which answers why ADS-B out is needed. However if you have a complete system, i.e., out and in, I believe you should have a pretty complete tra ...

You really flew your Air Campe ...

Jim,
