Dear Listers,
I wanted to check out the operation of all the various systems on the RV-8 now that the engine is running. For example, comparing the fuel flow and fuel pressure readings between the FuelChec DX and the GRT EFIS. I also wanted to run the engine up a little and make sure the CHT and EGT's were coming into a normal range and the all of the probes were working. Also, I wanted to see the oil pressure and temps in normal ranges after a bit of running. Finally, I wanted to check the engine RPM with the new TruTach II hand held optic tachometer.
On April 13 2010 I hopped in the pilot's seat and fired up the IO-390 and went though some checks. I videoed the procedure and used the intercom to call out the various readings I was observing. If you select the 1080p version of the YouTube video, you can actually read most of the values right off the GRT EFIS displays! Towards the end of the video some music starts to play. This is coming from the Kenwood via the MP3 files on the 64GB thumb drive plugged into the panel via the PS3000 Intercom and is exactly what I'm hearing in the headphones.
