 |
|
Hi:
I am thinking of Installing, or changing to the" Approach Fast Stack
System" maybe th8is way I can get read of the communications problem
I have with my King 120..
Would like to hear comments of any one with the system, how difficult
would be? you know how cramped is underneath..and Rv6A
Do you remove all other wires, radio Transponder etc?
How about the "HUB" where do you hold that,,,fabricate a bracket then
where... is almost no room right now for me...
The wires are 24 inches are they long enough to reach Radio Transponder
etc...?
Thanks for any info or pictures etc.. on this...

It comes with it's own mounting bracket. You provide dimenaions and they custome make the wiring harness tht plug directly into your equipment.
The harnesses have pigtails for power. I redid my panel , took all the old wiring out and spent less than an hour installing the hub and harnesses.
Have 2 EFISs, audio, com/nav and transponder.
You also get pigtails for PTT and AP disconnect.

I'm really happy with my Approach Fast Stack System. I installed it
when I had to replace my transponder and altitude encoder. With
eventual plans to add more to it if/when I can afford the Garmin 430 I
really want. Right now my audio panel, com and nav radios are all
still with their original wiring. I'd have to switch them all over all
at once as they are all interconnected. But the transponder/altitude
encoder is its own system.
Wiring the new transponder and encoder probably took me less than 2
hrs including installing the hub. It's REALLY simple. You can order
the wires at the lengths you want. I was surprised that they can be
rather short. Extra length has to get "coiled" somewhere and is a bit
messy, that's the only real downside of the system in my opinion (i.e.
a nicely done wiring harness will look prettier). But if you have
plans to upgrade/change things out in the future, the Fast Stack is
the only way to go in my opinion.
As was already mentioned, you do have some pigtails to connect, i.e.
ground, power, instrument lights/dimmer, etc, but it way simpler than
doing the wiring the hard way.
You'll definitely want to figure out where you'll put the hub before
ordering. I measured and found a spot that would work for my plane.
I'm sure every panel is different enough that you'll have to figure
out what will work for your plane.
