 |
|
Thanks to all that responded to my heading indicator / directional gyro problem a couple of weeks ago. I had the tubes removed and visually checked as well as the contacts cleaned. Still no joy, both front and back instruments in the CJ are inop. Does anyone have any further suggestions for troubleshooting? Thanks in advance.

I found the tube socket needed the pin sockets tighten in order to make good contact with the tube pins. A number guys here have said the smart thing to do is to replace DI and AI with D10 Dynon, fits in place of AI and saves weigh and power.

Hi Folks,
I'm relatively new to Yak ownership having only taken the plunge in June this year. I'm grateful to the list and a number of individuals like Dennis Savarese in particular who have been very helpful. I'm also fortunate to have the expertise of some great guys at Falcon Field. The reason for this posting is to endorse the suggestion of fitting The Dynon D10. I have a D10A in my front cockpit and a D6 in the back. I was able to shed about 80 pounds of weight in the form of heavy inverters, gyros, instruments and rather sketchy wire. I redid my weight and balance afterwards and all is well. Of course, this will not sit well with purists who want to retain the original instrumentation and character of the aircraft, but I am very pleased with the Dynon EFIS. I have retained an ASI and simple Altimeter as a backup. Bear in mind I have a yak 52 not a CJ, but I am sure the same modification can be made.
Best of luck and I hope you solve your problem.
Regards,
Franc, N9102E
