I’ve found well placed duct tape works well on him Paul....

Chad?? Who is this, Chad of whom you speak??

- I drove in from Chicago and only spent one night (CJ's tent in Camp Scholler :o ). Let's make it Tuesday. Who's got rides, and how many can you squeeze in? Right now for attendees I have: ⋅  (2) Painless and Guest ⋅  (1) Bruce +1 ⋅  (1) Bullock One night in a tent wi...

Me! Me! Me! Plus one.

Since Tuesdsy is like Saturday to me, that works

Btw... how many years does this make that we have been going there? I would think we are due for some sort of milestone anniversary. Cause to celebrate.....more!

I believe it is Tuesday. Those that leave the show Thursday need the extra day to recover from the “meat over” on Wednesday.

Otter Tease in the Green Bay Press Gazette this morning:

The Queen of the Fleet has 6 open seats. Six *legal* seats that is. Bullock can ride in the cargo area if need be, and as a favor to my other passengers.... :P As for Erik, he may not have any open seats as he may be bringing guests. So don’t count him as available. It’s getting to the point where w...

So has the date been officially changed? I just realized that I have another dinner to attend on Tuesday. I may have a major decision to make.

Can’t help it that I’m so popular........

Chad? Never heard of him...

Tuesday works for me. Adding excess protein/fat to the mix of beer from the tasting and beer fairy parties should finish me off nicely.

https://i.imgur.com/4HkmxKuh.jpg Success with the Hudly. It was indeed an app issue that GRT has sorted out. So now my first impression flying with it. As others have noted, including GRT, the fact that the image is not at infinity makes use of this particular hud limited. Having said that, I do li...

Quick progress update The GPS trouble was indeed a TU antenna connector. The antenna I was using had a threaded connector on the cable, and then an adapter that converted it to an MCX push on connector. The problem was with the crimp holding the threaded connector to the antenna cable. When I pulled...

The beat goes on. Still troubleshooting. Had a setback, so haven’t been in the air much until lately. I’ve gotten the EIS programmed and now seems to be behaving itself. Nice to see that dang red light go out now! I am having trouble with the HUD crashing on me. Starts up great, shows proper info. T...

https://i.imgur.com/MfPPe6lh.jpg The Painless Possumworks has been at it again with continuing the panel upgrade https://i.imgur.com/bWsS2Rsh.jpg Completed panel, now with the next gen Hudly HUD. Also synthetic vision on the Ifly. In order to get the Hudly to talk to the GRT EFIS, other components ...

A quick up date: The Trio EZ pilot is now playing nice and is tracking a flight plan. Solid as a rock I can now set up and follow a fight plan after entering the settings I posted earlier. Still need to do some homework and tweak the EIS. After I acknowledge a messages that a value is out of paramet...

A quick update regarding the upgrade. I’ve flown the airplane and really like the presentation of the GRT Sport SX. The 8.4” screen seems to be a good fit for me. I can see that it will be some time before I am utilizing all it’s functions. Need to learn my way around a bit yet. Some squawks still a...

https://i.imgur.com/JMX45Hm.jpg Houston, we have GPS! Switching the GPS to serial port 4 (getting it off serial 3) did the trick. I set the baud rate to 38400 as instructed by GRT, but no joy. So I did the Bullock and went back to 115200 and voila! Long Live Mikey! Now I suppose I'm going to have t...

Yeah, I saw that Mike. Can’t figure why GRT is having me use 38400 baud. Talked to them today and apparently since I have an internal GPS that is designated at serial port 3, I can’t use that port for Rx/Tx of my Safefly. Who knew??! Also confirmed with them that I am to use 38400 vs 115200. I’m goi...

Whelp.... the beat goes on..... Got the magnetometer calibration completed, and have the EIS engine monitor limits set up. I’ve also configured the Echo UAT, but I will need to update the firmware as has been discussed elsewhere. The current hurtle I am experiencing is that my Safefly GPS that is co...

It was good to see that screen flicker to life, that’s for sure!

Going to do all the calibration etc tomorrow (1/20), and if I get it done, may get a flight in as well. Just want to get everything “sorted” as Ed says on Wheeler Dealers.

Sure is great to see 782P back in one piece!

https://i.imgur.com/Fj4FOTH.jpg All the lights are on now! Long story short about why my EFIS wasn't powering up. Blown fuse. I was checking the wrong circuit. Yup. Lame-brain move wasted a bunch of time. Par for the course for me! Now its on to setting limits, calibrating etc, making sure everybod...
