    Here’s the best I could do for you.

    I would ask them how many of each they have done so your plane doesn’t wind up being a Guinea pig they’re learning on.

    If your temp probe is under the belly, it’s sitting in engine exhaust air and probably reads 4 or 5 degrees higher. That will push your TAS up. Mine has a belly mounted temp probe and reads happy TAS also.

    I think there should be an easy way to test the RAL. It shows it to be a 5 volt led, so USB power should be a perfect test for both polarities. I spoke to one of their techs yesterday and when I explained the self test that is explained in the manual, he sounded quite surprised. I asked why the surprise and he said he hasn’t been there very long. A related issue I’ve got is no RED alarm with Low Oil Pressure. This is #1 on the alarm list and should be a red alert at low idle. I get yellow, no red. I’m hoping to get that call back today.

    I was searching awhile back and got nothing but crickets.

    I’m sure you’ve gotten this resolved by now, but I have a RAL that doesn’t self test red and yellow as stated in the manual and showed no alert when I had my recent over voltage and alternator drop out without the RAL lighting up red or yellow. Just wondering what your outcome was.

    I have no vacuum pump. But I still have RAM AIR

    I had the glare shield off my J today and see that 4 wires were cut off at the back. Also, 4 light bulbs were pulled out and electrical tape was placed across the alerts. Gone are low Left Fuel, Low Right Fuel, Hi/Lo volts and lo vacuum. All I have left is Gear Down, Gear Unsafe, Start Charge On (the one that won’t light up during testing, and Ram Air On.

    Adding another post on this thread. Another Electrodelta VR802 heading to Texas for repair. Quoted price is $395.

    The only thing that will get hurt is your wallet. Pour away!

    There’s always more than one way to skin a cat. Good job!

    I’m looking at them too and look forward to your review.

    I don’t think I understand. No modification necessary to the spring. It just snakes over the curved end.
  14. RoundTwo
    All done. 0.055 piano wire and springs.

    Now that Grainger is back online, I think this one will work. Grainger Baffle Spring This, and some 0.55” music wire and I’ll be all set.

    Lasar is Out of Stock and I need one. I can make the keeper wire but need a spring. Does anyone have a line for a comparable spring? 1.75” overall length 0.50”OD 0.38”ID 0.053” music wire 15#/IN spring constant. McMaster Carr doesn’t have anything and Grainger’s website has crashed since this morning and now says down for maintenance.

    Does anyone know where I can get the coil Spring for BAFFLE RETAINER SPRING - 600372-501 Lasar is out but I can twist up the wire holder if I can find a spring.
  18. RoundTwo
    That will be perfect!

    I’ve got some bolts on order with them but I’m AOG at the moment. Hopefully they’ll get here Monday.

    That’s fantastic! So when I need something, I can have you pick it up for me and zip it right out to me. I knew MooneySpace wouldn’t let me down. Problem solved!

    New to me plane and now it’s time to correct a few little problems like someone’s creative cowl flap repair. I’m now searching for an AN3-7a bolt which seems to be rather rare in local bolt drawers and sweepings collections. Is Aircraft Spruce the best place for onsie, twosie, stuff? Best for me is consistent, quick and reliable with acceptable prices. Since I’m new to the airport, I don’t want to become the “do you have one of these?” guy. Pictures for clarity. Fixed nut plate is OEM. Sliding nut plate makes for a very loose and floppy cowl flap hinge.

    Recently I watched a YT video by Rmag in his 205 on SmartGlide and at inception, there were no airports within range. As the glide progressed, an airport, in the direction of glide, fell within the glide range. Smart Glide never picked up that there was now an airport within range. IIRC, the pilot reinitialized Smart Glide and it picked up that airport. In that experiment, selection was a one and done calculation. Smart Glide Demo by RMag look at about 5:30 into the video.

    I started with the Pilot Guide but without knowing which information travels on which channel, and other unknowns, it’s not very clear. I’ve got a lot to learn. But hey, all added up, I think I have seventeen possible timers!

    So here’s a question. Will I lose any functionality over what you have if I BT to the GTX-345 and run the RS-232 to the GTN? Another option is to BT to the G3X instead of the GTX. I’ll have to claim ignorance regarding knowing what information is being delivered on the different protocols and if there are any overlaps.
  25. RoundTwo
    I’m guessing I’ll use BT to the GTX-345 to get traffic and weather. Or, could that come from through the cable from the GTN? Too many options makes this confusing.
