The article shows nicely that CAN is the better choice for our application. Using IP you need additional protocol layers for a lot of tasks. This means more complexity, more testing, more computing power and memory. Add this to the higher hardware cost (remember we are talking about embedded software here and not gaming PCs) makes it a clear choice. What the article is not addressing is EMI immunity. My understanding is that CAN is superior in that area as well. Speed is only relevant if your system requires this speed otherwise it is wasted money. Robustness and data integrity is something that at least myself would call a must. Concerning connecting other devices : having a compatible physical and protocol layer doesn‘t mean that you can use it in any practical way within the network out of the box. Don‘t get me wrong - I wouldn‘t use CAN for my home network, but for low cost networked avionics it is a ideal choice. Simply the right tool for the right application...

What practical benefit would IP bring over CAN? In the automotive industrie IP is only used for high bandwidth applications and they analyzed it pretty extensively.

The annoying thing is that they are referring to just one manufacturer. There are at least two more making Aerospace/Milspec CAN bus wires where one is used on Airbuses (means fulfilling Air Transport requirements). There even is a European Standard for Aerospace CAN Bus wires which could have been referenced.

Can you probably post a picture from below the bracket where we can see how the servos connect to the tubes?

I can share mine. The last one I did was for a dual G5 and JPI

The software I used from their partner is free. Once you are done with the design you can order that panel directly from within the software. I sent them the right aircraft aluminum bare material to use and received a very nice panel power coated and engraved for a very reasonable price. For printing the software allows for printing on multiple sheets that you can glue together.

Pretty close - some call it a magnetometer

6 Cylinder - I am not sure if it is also possible to reprogram for 4

Unit with selected sensors: - Manifold Pressure - Oil Pressure - Oil Temperature - OAT - Fuel Level Adapter Box Perfect opportunity to upgrade from your 700 or 830 to primary ! Price : $1700

It actually was midchord on the left wing

I have done my panel with their European partner. The free program works very well for that purpose. I can share my panel file whoch contains all the cutouts assuming that they are using the same software/format. Gesendet von iPad mit Tapatalk

Thanks a lot for the pictures. Doesn‘t look to complicated. The most complicated should be the roll servo. I have looked at my king servo installation and that is a nightmare of space and cables. It would be great if you could manage to make a picture of that as well. Interesting that they put the GAD 29 in the back.

You mean one of those ? Fantrainer It was built from Rhein Flugzeugbau. They build 32 of them as a military trainer.

unfortunetly nothing midchord on both wings ....

Hi, does anybody know where the flux valve is located in a 231 with weather radar installation? I looked at the place mentioned in the other thread (right wing just outboard of the wheel) and all the other plates in the middle row with no success. Thx

I have a completely opposite experience than Andrew - first and last visit for me...

The Mooney parts catalog lists a standby generator installation under 950236-501 ... They are using the 10 amp EM8012 generator.

I am wondering if they build a special parameter set for each type... Does anybody know anything about it ?

I thought this topic deals with GFC 500 update and not 650 bashing .... just saying ...

I did a sea survival course 3 years ago which was held by a rescue helicopter pilot. He said exactly the opposite: There are so many PLBs around with false alarms that you can‘t expect a quick rescue. Also don’t expect the ships to have a 406 receiver on board. He recommended a EPIRB ( I bought one which fits nicely into my life vest) and a marine VHF as well. That is what the ships have.

I would also check if the engine mount has been bent ... I had a horrible and expensive maintenance experience last year - so I have an idea how you feel. All the best and good luck that it will be sorted out in a reasonable time !

It would be great if you could report on the difference between yaw damper on and off on the midbody once you get ist back.

How do you get the 7% dicount?

You will not connect the LED to a strobe power supply anyway. What is the technical reason why it should not be possible to remove the power supply on one side an replace this with a LED? Only that the other side is on the same supply wire ? The whole aircraft is on one supply wire ... If thats the case than the high voltage supply would be a massive EMV disturber which disqualifies it as an aircraft part.
