thank you! appreciate it

In this case, at least it wasn't the shop that did the original install, but instead my shop that I paid to troubleshoot it. Unfortunately, we don't yet have resolution as of yet. I think it's going to require CIES weighing in.

@LANCECASPER, that was actually my first thought and what they checked. Per the shop, it isn't hanging up and has good freedom of movement.

I'm hoping that the MS collective brain power can help me troubleshoot. I have an issue with newly installed (January) CIES senders attached to G500Txi EIS on a 1998 Ovation where specifically with the right tank, I'm seeing no fuel level movement on the right tank gauge until I burn approximately 10-11 gallons. Left tank works great, but on the right (green line in the graph below) it remains pegged at 44.5 Gallons (89 total usable) until it reaches approximately 34 gallons, at which point it drops to that level in a period of about 1:30-2 minutes as seen in the graph. They have been calibrated twice with the issue remaining the same, as well as checked for freedom of movement. I'm guessing it's an issue with the right outboard sender, however it has been removed and tested outside the aircraft to validate that it was returning data. Any suggestions? Including @fuellevel in hopes that you might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! the panel upgrade happened earlier than i had planned, but it was always in the cards. I had hoped to wait a year or 2 on the panel, but I had just enough squawks on the old panel that it expedited the "investment".

With very mixed emotions I'm looking to sell my Ovation...unfortunately this is just a recreational aircraft for me and I haven't been able to use it the way I had hoped. It's currently wrapping up an extensive annual and just completed at the end of January a full panel upgrade, all new Garmin avionics (Txi), GFC500 and CIES senders. It's an amazing aircraft. Asking $282,900. Text Eric at 573.999.7671 or email at eric.bowzer@gmail.com.

Thanks Don. Have been thinking about that. Ironically, thus far I don't mind it being on the GNX because it gives me a reason to actually use it! I'm still getting used to things for sure, but am finding that as a VFR only pilot (hopefully just until later this year), I've got a TON of screen real estate to leverage.

sorry, just realized that my shortened tail number looks like the price I paid. Definitely NOT $55k. . Elite Avionics out of Cape Girardeau, MO (KCGI). They were amazing to work with and I'm really happy with the product and transparency throughout the process.

Decided to go ahead and post the photos on the panel upgrade for my 98 Ovation, N2155K. We opted to go full Garmin stack. G500Txi + EIS GI275 GFC500 with YD option GTN 750xi GMA350c Audio Panel - I prefer a physical Audio Panel GNC 255a Nav/Com Guardian Avionics Aero 553 Multi-Function CO Monitor in panel FlightStream 510 I already had the GNX 375, so we kept that as the Transponder and GPS #2 We've got most of the squawks addressed, still a couple of minor items to clean up, but couldn't be happier with the new equipment. Such a big change!

Perfect, and yes, I am planning to add it to my list for them to do at annual. Thank you!

Does anybody happen to know how much labor is involved in the removal and lubrication of the speedbrake 2000's? Just curious as my bird goes into annual end of the month and I'm planning to make sure that they take care of it during the annual, but curious as to what I'm getting into.

Before I reach out to order from an MSC, wanted to see if anybody had a set they are interested in selling. Eric

Not as much as I would probably like, but I’m hopeful that it gets better with software updates. No crossfill as of yet. Otherwise, it’s fine. If I was doing it from scratch would do a 650xi and a gtx 35r, instead of the 375/255 but my first upgrade when I purchased her last year was to replace the Gtx 335 and the KLN 94B with the 375, so I already had it.

in an Ovation but….that’s a GNX 375 below the GTN and I preferred a panel mount audio panel over the remote variety.
