I have a relay that piper used for avionics and landing lights. I'll look for a picture. But why not use the opportunity to replace the LL with a low current LED and max pulse switch. That gives you a solid paper trail for removing the relay all together? Don

I seem to recall that the 'H' model has a built in intercom but no marker? I'd go for a PS engineering PS6000 or 7000 and have done with Bendix King stuff. The 7000's have better buttons, are usually stereo and marker, and reasonably affordable to repair. Don

Hi, I had a new old stock EDM700 with a bad display. So sent it back to the factory for a fuel flow and 3" display upgrade, its pretty impressive. I can sell outright, or take your EDM700 in trade. Display only or complete kit and anything in between, contact me via email, let me know what you have installed and what components and transducers you need. Thanks for looking, Don, supercub180@gmail.com Edit: I have more than one available, this is what it looks like going into a C172 panel. Trying to get a real balanced look

While all the information is displayed all the time on the EDM830, the data is displayed in larger letters down at the bottom. The switch allows you to scroll between all, just FF and just temperatures. Useful when looking at just fuel flow. I tried one installation without this switch, and after a few starts the EDM 'forgot' that fuel flow was installed. Only way to get it working again was to install the switch and power it up with the switch in the FF position. Don

Yes I do, just send me an email to supercub180@gmail.com Don

I'll take the intercom, PM sent. Don

George, I have a new old stock one for you, Don supercub180@gmail.com

Yes, SOL unfortunately. The issue with upgrades is that the cost of the probes and harnesses add up to more than the cost of a whole kit. But if you can reuse your EGT & CHT harness and probes, you have most of the system. I know EI have some competing products, so you should contact them to see what upgrades are available. Regards, Don

Rad, send me an email to supercub180@gmail.com and I'll put together an upgrade package quote with a free used EGT probe for you to try. Don

I have a couple of excellent EDM800 instruments that would make easy upgrades from EDM700 with or without fuel flow. Use your existing harness and add one or more of the following: I can take older EDM700's in trade, and pricing starts at $300 plus the options and harness you require. 1) OAT 2) RPM 3) Manifold pressure With these 3 options installed, the EDM800 will calculate % power. Then add: 4) Oil Temp 5) Oil P 6) Carb T 7) TIT 8) Fuel flow This generally requires no panel changes (Save $$) and has all the data of the EDM830. I also have EDM730/830 upgrade packages, and complete EDM830 packages (April / Sun n Fun rebates apply. Regards, Don

Bill, I have a new surplus alcor CHT probe. I'll go look for it and send you a picture. send me your email address supercub180@gmail.com Don

I have the components required to complete this system: KG102a gyro, Kmt112 flux gate, Ka51 slaving accessory, installation kits. Don Supercub180@gmail.com

From what I can read in the WX500 install manual, there are several options for heading input, including serial, synchro and stepper. If 'stepper' is used the GTN650 will not display WX data on the map page but on the WX page. The WX500 manual also says that a direct heading input is preferred, because the serial heading from MFD is slower and less accurate. In the days of older GPS's or MFD's, I think this is valid. But with more modern GPS's like the GTN, the track calculation is so quick that it would not lag the actual heading. The WX500 can use either Hdg or Track from a MFD or GPS. I have used a Sandel SN3308 to control a WX500, and it clearly has heading. I assume it is sending Hdg to the WX500, but cannot be 100% sure that its not sending track. You've got me thinking. Practically it makes no difference as long as it works. The WX500 will work with a MFD with only track. So I think its more a question for your GTN650 installer to put to Garmin, whether the GTN650 will send track in the air data to the WX500. It looks like it might not in the following Note in the GTN650 install manual: >>Heading is not required by the GTN; however, to take full advantage of the GTN unit capabilities, an optional heading source is recommended to provided autopilot roll steering on ARINC 424 heading legs, to display TAS traffic and WX-500 Stormscope data on the moving map, and to calculate winds if airspeed is also available. FOR WX-500 DATA TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE GTN 6XX/7XX MAP PAGE THE GTN 6XX/7XX MUST HAVE A DIGITAL HEADING SOURCE, OR THE WX-500 MUST HAVE A SYNCHRO OR SERIAL HEADING SOURCE. A STEPPER HEADING SOURCE WILL NOT ALLOW WX-500 DATA TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE MAP PAGE. So, bottom line is I'm not sure. It will still display on the Wx page, but maybe not the map page.

I have a really nice WX500 system for sale, like new antenna, high serial number processor with 430TT and no errors in the error log. New antenna gasket, antenna cable and connectors. Installation and operating manual. This is a great way to add a stormscope to a GTN650/750, GNS430/530 or Sandel HSI. Other MFD's too. Don supercub180@gmail.com

OK, here's some more 'unbiased' data: http://www.cafefoundation.org/v2/pdf_cafe_reports/Wax%20Job%20with%20PICT.pdf 2.82 MPH in a Mooney 201 using Turtle Wax 'Vision' Don

Try Bob Bramble of Aerolab. Always had good service from him. Don

Hi, If you have an EDM700, here's a new upgrade package to add: 1) EDM830 colour display with USB data and GPS tracking 2) fuel flow 3) manifold pressure, RPM, oil pressure $1900 with the trade of your old unit. I can add or delete components if you have them installed already. Regards, Don supercub180@gmail.com

Added a picture and a couple of cables, revised price.

I had a PS7000 installed many years ago. We wired up both stereo inputs and a switch to combine them. Quite frankly we never combine them, especially with the advent of smart phones. The passengers (co-pilot could plug in there) can have one source, and not have the 'music fade' when talking or rail comms. Pilot / copilot are on the same circuit and can install the switch to fad eor not fade. I assume this was a feature carried forward to the 8000? Don

Greg 14 or 28V? A KX155A is almost a slide in replacement for a KX155, but is 28V only. IIRC, there is one wire that needs to be checked and removed if installed. It was for something obscure, so not likely to be installed. A KX165 is not the same, uses a different indicator. (KI206 vs KI206/KI204). It is possible to change indicators and a bit of wiring and make it work. The KX155/165 are much more repairable in the field, find someone who has a good stock of parts and get yours fixed. 14V KX155's are still very popular, so yours is worth fixing. I have a 28V version for you if interested. Don supercub180@gmail.com

Google Mooney Type Certificate 2A3 and read through it. It will have the RPM limits - be sure to read the notes at the end to see if there is a yellow arc for your prop. And if you don't have the original prop (or engine), read the STC's that go along with it. Don
