Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:03 pm Post subject: Garmin G3X installation

Iâ€™m installing a Garmin G3X in my Yak52TW and trying to located a place to install the magnetometer (GMU22).Â  Has anyone done this installation in a TW or have a suggestion on a location that meets Garminâ€™s requirements for the magnetometer?

Try under the turtle deck aft of the rear cockpit. I did that for my Dynon in the 50. Worked fine on headings after slaving the DG. Mount it first with industrial adhesive backed Velcro. That way you can move it if you do not like it.

Thanks for the response.Â  Area behind the rear seat has the two air tanks which require 8.2 feet separation, the aft fuselage has control cable that require 3 feet clearance plus the rear landing gear assembly.Â  Wing tips are a possibility, but the nav lights and strobes are a problem plus routing the wiring through the wing.Â  Looks like I may be the first to put a G3X in a TW.

 

Off line response from Sonny Schilleci at Auric Avionics suggests using a Survey Tool to locate a low noise area.

Use a simple camping compass. Wherever you want to put it out the compass and see if it swings. If not you are golden.

Used this technique for my Yak 50 as suggested by Stein Air during G3X install.

Does anyone have any idea how much voltage is required to fire the starting vibrator?Â  I believe the batteries in the Yak 55M are old, and low in base voltage.Â  It was cool today, and the airplane was difficult to start.



Is there a replacement starting vibrator available?Â  Do the originals from Russia hold up well? Â 

Thank you!

If the battery voltage drops down to 22 volts or less, the starting coil may not generate an adequate spark.

The starting coil is probably one of the most reliable electrical components on the airplane.   The starting coil wire (7mm) from the starting coil to the left magneto cap may be deteriorated and cracked.  If the wire is cracked, it will arc to the braided shield (ground) when you press the start button.  That would prevent the spark from going to the mag cap and then to the spark plug.

After you replace the batteries, open up the starting coil container and check the points for mounding.  If necessary you can burnish the points to remove any mounds with a point file.

Absolutely agree and the cold weather just makes it more difficult.  

Especially if the battery voltage is low.

We make a solid-state version that we run any voltage. It was aimed at the homebuilders who want to use a 12 V system

I installed the Dynon skyview in my TW and I put the magnetometer between the front seat and the rear cockpit instrument panel attached to the bottom of the glare shield for the rear cockpit.
