Guys

Those of you who installed or are installing a GARMIN G3X, which wires or multi-wire cable did you use to connect the autopilot servos?

Thanks
Carlos

You would use shielded multi conductor wires for the CAN portion and
RS-232's (and possibly some trim), but individual wires for the CWS, PWR,
GND, and CAN termination (if you're using it for the terminator on the CAN).
Cheers,
Stein

The list seems too quite lately. I'm thinking about building another plane
and wonder if it should be a tail-dragger or tri-gear, and which EFIS and
primer is best?

It has been quiet. I wonder if people are reluctant to post while Matt is in recovery?

RV-14 tail wheel with Blue Mountain EFIS and Corrosion X for primer. 8^)
Then get RV-10 wings, and fuselage parts to stretch it back into a -10,
tail dragger. Of course you could upgrade to steam gauges and use Ipad
for MFD. For nostalgia you could add a Laurance GPS por Apollo 920.

Thank you Stein

I believe the DYNON servo wires are all unshielded.
Why do you recommend the CAN, the RS-232 and the trim wires to be shielded?

Because it's what Garmin recommends in their manual! Smile

That said, it is recommended to be shielded just to keep "noise" to a minimum, but we actually have seen people retrofit both TruTrak and Dynon Autopilots with the Garmin Servos, re-use their existing wiring with no ill effects. Of course it's always best to follow the manufacturer recommendations, but we have seen people do it the other way and have acceptable results....we've also seen people have unacceptable results as well though (so fair warning).

Cheers,
Stein
