    I don’t know exact part number(s). Every shop sucks at communicating with customers. TCA is booked solid. Pro tip, try calling and don’t bother leaving a message, probably best time of day is 3:30-4:30. I’ve been waiting for a check for several weeks, I feel your pain.

    The lightweight Skytech starters are popular, I’ve had mix results, my 1st one lasted only about 5 years, my AP says that’s normal these days.

    If it’s the PTT switch, then just use the copilot’s switch. If it’s the radio, use com2.

    And the factory is where?

    How many screens are there, in order: Fuel pickup, gascolator, servo inlet? My J has an extra one on the outlet side of the electric fuel pump behind a panel that’s not removed unless you’re going to R/R the boost pump.

    Remember these are custom made (probably only 30-50 in the last 3 years), not mass produced by a Chinese manufacturer.

    Obviously anything speed or servo (pitch) related or errors.
  8. ArtVandelay
    I would look at the logs and see if you can see the any differences other than the pitch commands.

    Read the paperwork he posted.

    I’m not very photogenic.

    Some shops are better than others, this is what you want: Where are you located, get some recommendations.

    I always fly in early morning when winds are down unless a front is moving through, then I’m not flying anyway. BTW, I’ve never found water in the gasolator, even if I had water in the fuel tanks. I always drain the wing tanks first.

    Probably not, I will have to track down the configuration setting.

    I have this problem as well, 3 times in the last 4 months, avionics shop already recalibrated G5/G3X and I just completed a vibration test, results to be sent back to Garmin. Curious if anyone who had this problem and found the problem.
  15. ArtVandelay
    If you have a G3X and Garmin Pilot, you can upload your flight data and get better data instead of just ground speeds which can vary depending on winds: While the graph makes it look uneven, the variability is small, IAS +/- 2 knots at most. Interesting the J points downward to fly level.

    I know my plane, when I set the trim to takeoff the elevators weren’t in the right position.
  17. ArtVandelay
    I have the same settings as OP and it works fine

    2. You probably are leaking at the inboard senders, they are low and just forward of the back seats, remove carpeting to check. 3. I use a small box to hold container (GATS jar) up under drain to catch fuel.

    I would think it would use the static default setting but be able to calculate the glide ratio and adjust as needed.

    M20P for NA engines, M20T for turbocharged engines. I use M20P, your error message is for “M20”? I was able to get a briefing. You did do a save and let it sync up with the cloud?

    Consider replacing with a panel mounted compass, the view is much better:

    No need to go to the dealer, just need a printer: https://www8.garmin.com/aviation/brochures/Experimental_Products_True-size.pdf

    Today I tried both increasing and decreasing VS by 10, other than the normal +/-3 knots fluctuations I didn’t see any oscillations FWIW.
  24. ArtVandelay
    I just use painter’s tape to cover fuel caps as well the speed brakes slot…ounce of prevention theory.

    I don’t think it would be hard to fabricate it, this is in the tail, back about 2 feet or so from the battery.
