GMA340 Connecions]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0077Ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0077Ann.jpg.html
2008 09 28 Spent about 3 hours going through the Pin Out documents and comparing them with the plugs on the rear of the GMA340's tray. Bottom line, every hole that's supposed to have a pin has one and every hole that's not supposed to have a pin doesn't have one. No easy solution there. Next, I'll have to do some serious circuit testing. But first, I'll need to acquire some bits to facilitate that work.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2222Ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2222Ann.jpg.html
2008 09 26 Spent the morning with the Garmin shop troubleshooting the Garmin GMA 340 Audio Panel. The unit is OK. The guy at Garmin thinks there are wiring problems. He printed a set of pages showing the pin-outs for the two connectors and asked me to make sure there was a pin in each hole there was supposed to be a pin in and no pin in the holes where no pin was supposed to be. I have commitments all day tomorrow so I plan to spend Sunday going over the pins. After all the other issues with Gulf Coasts work on this panel, it wouldn't surprise me if the pins were buggered up somehow. More on this Sunday...]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2219Ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2219Ann.jpg.html
My tow strap arrangement. It's functional if not elegant. I have ordered a towbar from Bogert International as per the recommendation from Raimo.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2221Ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_2221Ann.jpg.html
Promised that the next time I went to the hanger that I'd get a pic of the carb balance set. This is what I used. Pretty smooth unit to use.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0063Ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0063Ann.jpg.html
Finished the afternoon back at my hanger doing the final(?) weight and balance on the Europa. 808 lbs on the main, 78 lbs on the tail for 886 lbs total weight and an empty CG of 59.828 in. It's a bit forward, but still keeps the CG in range with Mo & I plus full fuel & full baggage (62.048) and Mo & I zero fuel and zero bags (58.836). I'll have to check that forward CG with heavier folks. Ballast will probably be needed in the baggage bay with two heavies, low fuel and no bags.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0061.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/Year-7-Q3-2008/IMG_0061.jpg.html
Then we piddled around a while on the 1941 Aeronca 65TAC that Tommy is restoring for another fellow. Notice that this aircraft was built 1 week and 1 day after Pearl Harbor.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:27 +0000
