Nice!

Hi Guil. This is an old but goody. 🙂 I’m considering a similar setup for my 9A. What prop and pitch did you use and would you change anything if you had it to do over?

How accurate is the safetaxi feature? I'm curious how much it might help a taildragger pilot, for example in general situational awareness. cheers!

There is an alternate method that I'm about to try on my O-290. You mount an accelerometer only on the case behind the prop. I bought a Witmotion bluetooth 3 axis accelerometer off Amazon unit that reports mm/s and frequency, among other parameters, to your phone wirelessly. The thing is about 1 inch square in size, no cables to hook up. You can even mount it and go take measurements while flying, as it will run about 8 hrs on an internal rechargeable battery. Anyway, you take an initial reading. Then install a known "trial weight", say, 25g, in any one of the ring gear holes, take a reading. Move the trial weight to 120 deg off, run again, take a reading. Do the same at 240 deg. So, one initial reading, then 3 readings with a known mass at 12, 4 and 8 o'clock. I have a phone app from a company called ADASH. You input the initial vibe value, the trial weight mass, and the vibe values of the 3 trial weight runs. The phone app calculates the displacement centroids of each run, tells you how much and where to put the final weight to eliminate the displacement. This is a widely used method for balancing industrial equipment.

Did you have to get the GAD 13 and another GTP 59 for your G5 or is it able to reference the existing ones for this? I saw those items listed in the G5 section and wasn't sure if it was required or not.

my neck hurts just watching this

Thanks for the positive Park Falls shout out. It certainly is a gem.

Going to be a beauty. Amazing work.

Third time to post a reply! docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hBMikFdqinAP9IPx25YXEJbTahC_AxD8b9fyFrgK2iQ/edit?pli=1#slide=id.ge8a875a6f64d27c_0 tells of a fuel pump switch that could not be found in time.

Thanks for all this information.

Aircraft most certainly can display speed in mph or km/h. Speed is just distance over time. An aircraft does not care what the display speed is

Somebody posted on vansairforce (I think) that they lost their plane when they couldn't find the boost pump in a hurry. The ideal spot is at the end of the row of switches, where you can find it by location, label, and in your case, color. After all, you're unlikely to need lights in an emergency. Sorry to be a downer, but...

Thought for sure those drawers were going to fall out at the end…. I’m using some standard hanger bins for tool parts now stuff. Works good too. Until a bin falls, that’s gonna suck.

The engine was vibrating. You added some weights near the prop, and the amount of vibration was reduced. You don't really know that the prop was out of balance. The prop could be perfectly balanced. Maybe the engine is "out of balance". Adding some weight in the right spot near the prop could just be countering some sort of engine imbalance/vibration. It seems like you should start by taking off the prop and running the test. Almost certainly the four cylinders are not perfectly balanced. One cylinder is almost certainly a little stronger than the rest, and one cylinder is almost certainly a little weaker than the rest. A little more or a little less fuel. Timing slightly off. Dirty spark plug. Try disconnecting one of the spark plugs (not both) to one of the cylinders and see what happens to the vibration. I would be very interested in hearing your comments on this.

Once again a great video with great tips for the install.

Very thorough explanation of each step including tips that are not in the manual. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I think it is worth noting that the engine component rotation ratios are in the respective engine manuals so when doing the spectrum analysis you can pick out probable vibration sources.

Audio is interesting. Stereo is exactly backwards. Unsure of how one would fix it.

i don't think my wife would let me take the wing in the house.... how'd that go?

What's a cleco runner? Looks like an air tool. Why would you need an air tool to install clecos?

The mind of a builder! I appreciate that.

What does IPS mean?

Good morning from Minnesota. Great video!

Hi there. What is the spark plug number you are using there?

How do you get the magenta boxes? We have a G3X but when a flight plan is in from the GNX375 it only gives a CDI. What's the trick for the boxes?

Super cool. Fellow wisconsin RV'r here in an Rv6 out of KUNU. Love your airplane. looks awesome. Congrats on the move!

excellent live demo video of the g3x.. installed and tuned a few g3x suites already and its always nice to crosscheck with other installations as a sanity check! really appreciate that. also its funny how pilots are either a hell no or hell yes on the magenta flight path boxes on the pfd🤣

I've got these on my RV-9A cowling and they work well, but they DO occasionally come all the way out. You'd think it was impossible, but no. :)

Nice video. Thanks for posting.

Good morning from Minnesota! Fun trip!

My skills aren't good enough to stop at one particular frame to see the fit...

We? Looks solo to me.

The Marine Corps has 30 year old ones on the CH-53E. I don’t recommend keeping them for 30 years, actuating them everyday of that, and letting angry 19 year olds do the actuating.

GO MUSKIES!

What is the primary advantage you see for installing the GHA-15? I'm considering adding it to my RV-14 build. Some say it will help with landing. Others say it's not necessary. Thoughts?

Good morning from Minnesota!

Please add the link today on where you got the white plastic standoffs for the conduit tubing! I need to order some today and was just thinking of where I’ve seen these before and up pops your new video so perfect timing 😂.

Great video! What kind of paint is that on the inside of the fiberglass canopy?

Looking forward to more videos from the new field.

Always like seeing a nice early go around! A sure sign of a thinking pilot!!

Congrats to you two! Nothing like a short and narrow runway.

Congrats on the new location.

Hello from Forest Lake Minnesota! Great to see a flying video!!

So, do you also have a hangar for the 10, or will you be selling the 9A after you finish the 10?

Cant wait to see more videos of you flying out of 6P3. What was the trigger to move from MSN?

Congrats on the new fly-in airport/home! You just eliminated the most stressful and dangerous part of flying: the drive to and from the airport.

A battery powered G5 made my life MUCH less “exciting” one dark night in my RV-9A a few years ago. Long story. 😂 I’m a huge fan of that gadget. Totally agree that physical buttons and metal vents are preferable, and I still need to install the latter... Wish I had a setup that nice for my Mountain High gear! Terrific video.

Excellent video!

Great video! Love it! I saw some people that were priming overlapping pieces on both sides. For example, a piece of skin would be primed completely on the interior but about 1 inch from the side is also primed on the opposite (exterior) side. Is that something you also do?
