If anyone is interested, I am removing my 60-2 autopilot from a Socata TB20. It is fully functional and has an altitude preselector and also a GPSS converter. While the new system will cost me north of $22,000 installed, it would make sense for someone that doesn't have an autopilot at all to...

I've recently purchased a ST-901 converter and I need some help with the connection. I want to install it between my Sandel SN 3308 HSI and the Stec 60-2 autopilot to check if it works. The unit was previously used in a different installation, but the seller reconfigured it for my setup and...

Watch out for the mafia :)

Congrats on the new setup! I also have a JPI 930 and an IFD 540 and I am trying to decide between upgrading the smaller nav to another IFD 540 or a 440... From your videos it seems the screen of the 440 has a slight reddish tint, and the white fonts look better on the 550. Did you notice...

Does anyone have an installation guide for the S-TEC ST-901 GPSS converter? I need to install it between a Sandel SN3308 EHSI and a S-TEC 60-2 autopilot. I have the diagram only, and I don't want to mess it up during installation. Hopefully someone knows what wires to connect (heading...

I managed to power the aircraft from a 100 amps external power source, with no change. When they overlap, only the wingtip strobes work. However, as soon as I press the avionics button to start all the equipment, something strange is happening. Somehow, the 2 strobes magically always stay out...

Peak power draw is 3.2 for the Whelen, combined with 6. 2 for the JPC. The engine was not running, battery power only with no alternator. I will try to measure the voltage tomorrow.

On my TB20 there is a JPC LED strobe on the tail and today I’ve installed 2 Whelen 650e LED strobes for the wing tips. Since my G1 TB20 didn’t have a dedicated wire harness for the wing tip strobes, and I wanted them to start/stop at the same button press in the cockpit, I’ve connected them to...

I can see you plan on visiting my home country, Romania, as well. I will be there for at least 2 months. We can meet if you need someone showing you around, accommodation or help you with customs, fuel or supplies. Just PM me if you need anything. Good luck on the next leg!

Avidyne just launched the 10.2.3.1 software for IFD series, that fixes multiple issues related to GPS, Wi-Fi and also adds compatibility to 3rd party avionics such as Garmin G5 and L3’s Lynx NGT-9000 remote transponder. Does anybody know where I can find the .dsf file needed for upgrade? Thank...

Or just install an IFD540 navigator that decodes the Morse code for you ;)

LOL

Got an IFD540 from Chase at Avionics Source too. You should send him an email.

Nice new airplane from the Austrian manufacturer. Diesel engine, going to have a retractable gear next year.

Sorry @Katamarino, I've found a compatible one the next day and completely forgot about this thread :(

How did you manage to mount a Garmin 530 on the right side yoke? I know the Comanche may be a more versatile airplane than my Socata TB20, but still...

The Avidyne AXP340 transponder is also made by Trig. I have a few friends in Europe that use Trig transponders, they are cheap and reliable. But very basic and simple, no touchscreen or other bells and whistles...

$1600, used, no scratches or other issues. Installation without adapter and modification of existing wiring harness. Just slide in into existing mounting frame of your KT-76 or KT-76A / KT-76C. ADS-B OUT extended Squitter. Certification base: ETSO-2C112a, ED-73B Output power: min. 220 Watt...

The NGT-9000 transponder needs its own roof mounted WAAS antenna. Theoretically I could feed the G5 via RS232 from one of the Avidynes, but they usually don't speak the same NMEA language and it would be a single point of failure I would like to avoid...

I need 2 for the Avidyne GPS receivers, 1 for the Garmin G5 AI and 1 for the Lynx NGT-9000 transponder.
