    S-Tec can change the Cirrus 28V to a Mooney 14V, that was how I updated my 55 to a 55x years ago, it was about $1500 from S-Tec at the time, probably more now.

    Not quite what you are looking for but I have a control head from a 55 (not x) in my hangar that I would let go cheap if you or someone else wants it. It worked fine before I removed it, it is setup for the KCS-55A.

    Unfortunately on BT requiring full names doesn't stop people from making up names. There is no validity checking of those full names. Ask me how I know :-)

    I believe the only one of the G5, G3x, and G500TXi that will work with the KFC150 is the G500TXi, not the G3x. The GI275 will also work with the KFC150.

    As far as I know, the TXi does not support remote audio panels. I believe the only connection from the TXi to the audio panel is to play alerts from the TXi.

    Presuming XYZ is on V123 another way is to select direct to XYZ and change the Course To field to match the inbound course to XYZ along the airway. Fly the heading until the needle comes active.

    Sorry for the delay. I'm on business travel and will be back and can call on Friday morning.

    I have one from a 1980 M20J that was replace a few years ago. It worked fine at the time but the ink in the engraving is pretty warn. If you are interested, let me know and I can get you a picture.

    That note was added to Rev 21 as you can tell by the change tracking mark in the doc. I know because I was asking for that change as before that you couldn't even use the external antenna if you had an external GPS connected. I've tried the internal GPS without an external antenna in my 201 and it didn't work well out on the ramp. I didn't try it in air.

    I'm not sure I am understanding you correctly but if you are saying that you can't have the G5 both connected to an external GPS and have the external antenna with the internal GPS enabled then please look at the latest rev of the install manual, Rev 21 I believe, as it added that as a legal configuration. The manual is vague on it but you can see on Page 17 of Rev 21 that it states: Note: It is possible to connect to both a Glare Shield Mounted GPS Antenna via a coaxial cable and a GPS navigator over RS-232 simultaneously.

    I don't disagree but I don't think it meets the requirements to have a standby heading source.
  12. 201Mooniac
    You will get GPS ground track in that situation, not heading.

    Without the GMU-11 or a connection to a GDU there is no heading. With a power failure, there is no power to the GMU-11 and most likely none to the GDU so no heading.
  14. 201Mooniac
    As I understand it the GMU 11 does not get power from the backup battery so if you lose power you lose heading

    I also have a Davtron M877 but I've been wondering if it meets the requirements as it doesn't display seconds, just the flashing colon between the hours and minutes. I've been meaning to check if that meets the regs. I was told by Garmin that the clocks on the GTNs and the GDUs do not meet the requirement. Update: Checked with Davtron, they said it is a grey area and won't comment on whether they meet the requirement of not.

    I do believe that this will work out just fine and yes, it should also drive a GFC-500 as all that really needs is the G5. When the 275 gets GFC-500 support later this year, it isn't clear if it will provide failover of the GFC control from the G5 or not

    Probably but only because mine were installed just about 9 years ago and I like the latest and greatest, not sure what value it will really bring yet in terms of new features only for the Xi.

    Does that kit fit with a LoPresti cowl on the J?
  20. 201Mooniac
    No boost pump but if it helps anyone I have a master, a radio master, and a trim switch sitting around.
  21. 201Mooniac
    They did mine 6 months ago, and did a great job.

    On the J model after serial number 24-1037, the only rivets touched that are external are rivets that are in a nutplate in the access panel ring for securing the access panel screws. Those rivets are removed and the nutplate is relocated to the roll servo bracket that goes in that area. On Js before that serial number no external rivets are touched. Removing my S-Tec servo brackets did not touch any external rivets either.

    I worried about touch devices in turbulence when I first got my GTNs but quickly found it wasn't a real problem, just took about 10 mins to learn how to work in turbulence. I was worried again when I got my TXi given the screen size, you can't brace you hand as easily but again after just a few minutes, it really isn't a problem for me.

    In the Device Information section of the configuration, make sure Diagnostics/Data Log is enabled

    It works fine for weather on mine now that I upgraded it.
