Finally got my plane back!

After a few months in the shop. My new instruments are up and running! Just a couple issues that I think will need to be addressed, but overall, I think it turned out ok. In the future, most likely will upgrade to the gfc-500 and remove the rest of the vacuum system. Not sure about a g3x, but maybe years down the road.. Will need to look in to a snubber for the map sensor in the EIS. it bounces around more than I would like.

Thats a common issue with the mp sensor.  Snubber from omega is pretty cheap and easy.  Some need them for oil and Fuel pressure too.  Some not.

I have similar and really like the g5s.  They have been a great addition!

I'd recommend getting rid of that useless CO detector and getting one the could actually save your life.

You are exactly right. And right next to it I have this:https://www.sportys.com/forensics-carbon-monoxide-detector.html

I only recently got it. And put it in with this flight. I was sort of doing a test to see if there was anything being detected by it, and if there was, if the dot would change at all. Hopefully the test never finishes..
