Re: KRnet> VERY cool 6 pack PLUS autopilot!

My approach was to buy a used Dynon D10A. This provides all 6 pack functions plus autopilot brains plus lithium backup battery. Servos are $1500 each, new from Dynon. This gives GPS steer and altitude pre-select. On Sat, Sep 17, 2022, 7:53 PM Dr. Feng Hsu via KRnet wrote: > Mike, > > Unfortun

I had the weirdest radio problem one time - would be flying and when I got into the pattern - my PTT would show on the radio (even though I was not pushing the button!). A LOT of rewiring (on a certified plane so very ) and turned out to be a piece of metal vibrating cover panel on the ins

I would think this sounds like a bad ground on the radio do you have an intercom? check that the ground bus for both of these are shared Also your antenna wire is ONLY grounded on the radio side and not allowing a ground to go "up" to the antenna and back... Good luck - I am NOT a f

That is what Carlos basically did with the Aircraft Automation effort. Has some nice "recovery" features that are familiar with drones but coupled with the 6 pack and the ability to integrate with moving maps for full route (heading and altitude) is pretty cool. Yes, would be nicer to be
