After 2 years of tweaking the plane from when I bought it, I need to move to a larger plane. I enjoyed the Lightning, but it's time to go. IF you know of anyone looking for a very well equipped plane ...

for whatever it's worth. During my installation of the Garmin G3X panel, the tachometer would not give a steady reading, that's why I started this discussion. What I found out was, the current wave ...

so, do you replace one or both of the coils with the Honda part?

Curt

No problem. I'd rather have your expertise than the parts. I'll have him make another filter without the extra diode and see what happens. Thank you again.

First, thank you for the input and problem solving. I wanted to let you know that the "filter" that you suggested did a rock solid job from 0-3000 rpm. When I'm at full throttle, I still g ...

Not being an expert or even a beginner in Jabiru engines, my only question would be, are you on TDC for the compression stroke?

Bob,
Thank you for the information and sketch. I'll give this to my avionics guy tonight and see if we can get the parts. I'll let you know if this works.

Thanks again,
Curt

the fluctuating of the tach is something like this. When I take off the tach is around 2650 rpm and fairly steady. After starting to climb out, the tach shows anywhere from 330 rpm to 3300 rpm, or t ...

My system is the Garmin G3X touch. The engine is the Jabiru 3300, using the Kubota regulator. Most times when I take off, the voltage is around 12.5, and shortly after at full power it will climb to ...

most of the time when I take off, the voltage is around 12.5 and shortly after, the voltage will climb to the 14.7 range. it's at that point, the tachometer starts acting erratically.

My question is this, what is the normal output of the alternator in voltage? My volt meter is reading up to 14.7 volts when running around 3000rpm. Is this normal or should it max out around 13.7?

I'm ashamed and embarassed by my doodling, but here is a sketch of what I have. Remember, I don't know the correct symbols, terms, or designs that engineers should use. This can be the drawing you h ...

I'm located in eastern PA.

First, I'm not an avionics person nor do I play one on TV. I bought a used Arion Lightning, composite airplane. I didn't like the original EFIS, so I elected to install a new Dual Screen Garmin G3X ...

I asked a few months ago about possibly installing a Garmin G3X Touch system. Well, I decided to do it and wanted to post a couple pics if anyone is interested in doing something similar.

I went w ...

All items are sold, thanks.

I did not make a drawing of it. I never got past finger painting in school. I thought about what I wanted, borrowed my friends lathe, and cut it out of some old shaft material from work. I actually ...

After reading some postings and not being able to see any ideas, I decided to try my own. I wanted to put on the newer caster assembly and was also tired of pushing down on the tail to move the plane ...
