carusoam Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 What version of Aspen is that? Does the sunshine and warm weather come with that? Best regards, -a-
Oscar Avalle Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Posted March 12, 2013 What version of Aspen is that? Does the sunshine and warm weather come with that? Best regards, -a- Jajajaja... you are more than welcome to check it out in person. Open invitation to all members and friends of this blog. The only problems are: earthquakes, hurricanes and crime...otherwise this is heaven on earth.
Marauder Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Nice Oscar! How do you like the Aspen ESV?
Oscar Avalle Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Posted March 12, 2013 Nice Oscar! How do you like the Aspen ESV? I like it. It took me a while to get used to it. In particular the AI. however, the speed tape I am still having a hard time getting used it. it is just easier to look at the Airspeed indicator and see where the needle is. But in the area I am flying now (Mountains, no VFR charts (I fly by a highway map or IFR...) and LOTS OF HAZE with poor ATC radar coverage) ESV provides you with a good indication if you are about to run into a granit wall. This is very useful and gives you a nice piece of mind (and lowers your blood pressure). Would I pay 2 AMU+ for it in the Washington DC area...? I don't know. For sure it would take me some time to convince my wife that it was money well spent. Overall, I love my panel. The GTN 750 is really nice and the 795 (connected to my PCAS) complements the system extremely well. The only major problem I am facing now are the fuel gages. Somehow I can not make them work well. They are erratic and their indications are simply not reliable.
Mooneyjet Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 very nice panel and mooney, enjoy your videos as well.
johnggreen Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Oscar, The aircraft manufacturers, apparently, had a big meeting early on and decided that no one would ever make fuel gauges that work reliably. If you want any idea of on board fuel, install a fuel flow/usage computer. Shadin makes some that are quite reasonable. I consider one as basic as having an altimeter. Jgreen 1

They are erratic and their indications are simply not reliable. I purchased one of these off ebay to replace my fuel gauges with. I have not had time to put it in yet. It goes through a calibration procedure where you add a know amount of fuel each time until the tanks are full. If you senders are working this should read correctly. http://www.aerospacelogic.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=56
Oscar Avalle Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Posted March 19, 2013 I have installed Aerospace Logic EGT and Amp/Volt meters in my Mooney, Mike. I think that you will be very pleased with their equipment's performance once you get it installed. Jim I ordered one too and I hope to receive it next week. Will report back once it is installed...
