OR75

curious where you read that

there should be already be clamps to route current wire (strobe light for example) Can't you use those to add a wire ?

sorry to hear about this. Changing the engine mounts is actually not an easy task (not to be done by an apprentice) but doable without damaging the footwell. They likely try to force the donut and used the footwell as support for a lever. my learning from your writing is that it may is not always a good idea to have too many cooks in the kitchen (an oil filter needs to be fully installed and safety wired, not just placed then leave it for someone else to torque and for another one to safety wire - unless you have a huge "flag" there for the work to be finished)

in the Garmin manuals , there is usually a table for each connector that describes each pin and if it inputs or outputs signal

agree on all 3 points. with windmilling and fuel flowing, an engine is easy to start. The selector needs to cooperate at all time.

I am not saying it has something to do with the engine failure. Likely it does not.

just curious why you wanted to run one tank dry for a 650nm route.

not sure the battery connection has a standard connector you can find at Home Depot to charge it

remove the G5 , take it home and make a D-sub connector to turn it on and charge it once in a while of course , you may need a pitot static leak check after that

just get the ASA test prep book and test kit

definitely not worth it

the RC Allen 2610 or the UAvionics AV20 or 30 could be a basic / easy to install attitude backup

This look like a homemade bracket. EricJ has a picture of the bracket for the dual mag, and this is what it should look like for 2 mags:

I know it is confusing but actually when folks talk about a Dual Mag it is a single box that has 2 mags inside it driven by 1 shaft if you have 2 mags, each driven by a different shaft, then you actually have 2 Mags (and not a Dual Mag)

Maggie Harness is good should you decide to go that route. Although the lead time can be long. you will need to send your old harness. Are you sure it is the harness ? is it in that bad a shape ? shield in bad shape ?? And what do you mean by shutting both off and voila ? the engine is still running ??
