  1. so we are left with magnetic levitation ? with the engine being aluminum ... i am not even sure that even would work
  2. if it is the gear warning, normal should sound like a very annoying sound that gets your attention (not just an audible beeping)
  3. if you look at the manual, there is no provision to get GPS position and navigation from one source and a VOR navigation from another source. The source has to be a navigator like a GNS or a GTN because those include annunciation and the G5 knows where it is getting its navigation order from. In your case, since your installation was done by the book, i am suspecting your G5 is only getting a GPS position from the GPS175 (but not navigation via the GAD29B)
  4. if you are connecting 2 different navigators to 1 G5 , you must have some kind of annunciation somewhere (or the install is .... hmmmm ... should be looked at) in the case of a GNS or GTN , the annunciation is in the navigator. honestly , at this stage , the best you could do would be to find a nearby pilot or instructor who is familiar with this kind of setup and who can sit in the plane and turn some knobs and press some buttons
  5. the GAD29B or D get NAV input from the navigator (the 175 in your case) via ARINC 429 connections
  6. if the plane has the GAD29, you will not have the GPSS function. you need to have the GAD29B or D Makes a difference
  7. I trust what you are saying regarding the effectiveness ... however, let's face it, for pilot/owners who are installing those, the appeal/look is a big factor (if not the biggest factors !!)
  8. questions that come to mind ... what caused the scoring ? and the rod to be bent ? does the scoring have anything to do with brakes being spongy (usually related to seals and/or improper flushing to the hydraulic fluid - air pockets)
  9. again 1 in a million ... but I am not sure that the FAA would be ok with that statement : give them the money and they mark your part bogus part is a big deal , and I am not sure what the chroming would do. probably depends on the shop capability. that's why all shops are not always repair stations
  10. That would work if you can find a shop willing to do that. sadly, 12V are a lot more $ than the 24V or 115V or non TSO heated pitots. not sure why. Personally, I would hate to loose "traceability" on an expensive airworthiness part. but agree it is one in a million.
  11. N registered or F registered ?
  12. will the chroming keep the part and serial number engraving visible ?
  13. maybe worth checking for hangar space in Tracy or Stockton Livermore may have a shade hangar available
  14. that should be a concern to GA if it does. the airlines will be fine with GPS - INS no matter what i personally believe the wrong choice was made in shutting down a few Loran stations instead of trying to keep hundreds of VORs
  15. what do you currently have installed ? the LED strobe/lights do not require a power supply (the power supply is embedded in the strobe/light assembly, that's a big part of the beauty of LEDs. Low need for power / amps !. the LED is connected directly to the ground/12v of the ship via (of course) a circuit breaker If your plane currently has position/strobe light you will need to bypass the power supply boxes (usually one near each wingtip bolted to the last inspection panel)
