I didn’t change my senders. The gauges seem to be within about a gallon of actual. Lee

I did the same thing when I needed one. Not difficult. Lee

Perhaps an owner produced part is a better option. Lee

Benjamin Franklin said “a man who has two watches will never know what time it is”. In my Mooney I have a G3x and a g5 backup. The av20 is the tie breaker. And, the av20 was originally installed in my Citabria, so it was a no cost addition to the Mooney. Lee

I would add the Av20. You don’t need an oat probe when you use it as an AI. And, it can be used as a clock. also, who really needs a sweep second hand? I haven’t time an approach in years. 50 years ago just about all my approaches were NDB. Thank goodness, that’s gone. Lee

Garmin G3x Touch Checklist / EFIS Files
laytonl replied to Max Clark's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
Thanks for the referral to ACE Editor. It works great and is very easy to use. I built a checklist last night and loaded this morning. Lee -
I use a local trophy store for labels. I send them a PDF of what I want and they print it on aluminum, cut to size. I believe I pay about $5.00 per label. Lee

Hickory NC (khky) has an on site restaurant and an aviation museum. Lee

I’ve seen this happen to another Mooney before. The aluminum was torn when a mechanic was removing the front seats and the seat frame snagged the aluminum. I don’t remember how it was repaired. Lee

I got lazy and never tried to find an equivalent LED. With my edm930, most of the annunciators are not needed. So I’m just going to remove the annunciator panel and install a few lights still needed. lee

Bob bramble is excellent. Another source - if he is still around - is Tim Brouwer at mayday avionics. tbrouwer@maydayavionics.com. He repaired a similar unit for me on my previous Mooney. Lee

Me too. And keep it lubed.lee

Panel upgrade electrical documentation
laytonl replied to spistora's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
^This^. I scanned my wiring diagram and I am slowly updating the electrical diagrams and leaving the avionics to another schematic. Things like, instrument cluster, fuel flow, clock, standby vacuum, strobe power supplies, etc are being erased. Only Power and ground for avionics are shown on this diagram. Lee -
I live under the ATL class B airspace. I rarely get cleared thru IFR. Sometimes when I cancel IFR, they clear me thru. My house/runway is 25 miles due west of ATL. Lee

Attached is a simplified diagram I drew several years ago when troubleshooting my gauges. Lee
