The install manual is pretty specific to insure you stay away from any parallel runs with the comm antenna and any of the wiring that goes into the control head. I ran the comm antenna on the left side of the aircraft and the Roll and pitch servo wiring on the right side of the aircraft. Don't forge...

Received the new controller and it was 95% better. My old unit must have been the Beta test model. The new one has only minor pitch input on frequencies below 119.0 much better, very manageable. I adjusted my pitch response on the second flight test and when you key the mike it will not induce an al...

Spoke to John Wyatt today at Trutrak and they have sent me a new control head. Internally it has a capacitor .1mf he thinks that should help send the unwanted RF energy to ground. One other rivet banger had a similar problem and he used a 10mf capacitor between the + and - D.C. input to the control ...

Trutrak ADI pilot 2
Last week I sent the controller head back to Trutrak for installation in their factort aircraft for a test hop to see if their set-up has similar interference. It may need some more shielding? More to follow...

Fuel leak
Let me clarify: Fuel leaks past the rivet, but you see a black streak for about 6 inches behind the rivet, which I assume means some of the proseal is being disolved or carried in the process.

Fuel Tank Leak
I have a rivet seeping proseal on the bottom of my left fuel tank right in the middle of the tank. So I can't put a glob of pro-seal on it from the fuel cap or by opening the access plate where the sender is installed. I understand there has been success drilling out the number 40 hard rivet and mod...

ADI Pilot 2
I have about 40 hours on the ADI pilot 2 and it works well, except for the initial problem with it pitching up when altitude hold is engaged and I transmit on the lower frequencies. The factory wanted me to do a watt check n my antenna, which I did. There was no bad reflective power coming back into...

Trutrak ADI pilot 2
Just installed a Trutrak ADI pilot 2 in my RV-6A and it is a great unit with one problem; someone might be able to help me rectify? When I transmit on any frequency below 132.0 with the Pitch mode engaged I get RF interference causing a pitch down movement. Roll is not affected and in addition there...
