Hi, dang, I had this problem. AWC issued 11/8/22. First flight 11/9/22. The Garmin ESP tried to pull the stick out of my hands on first patternflight due to faulty ADAHARS. I wasn't sure what was going on. Figured out within first 10 hours that the ADAHARS (AHARS) was faulty and Van's was very good to provide an immediate swap at the front desk. I hangar at 7S9 so just a few minutes away from Aurora. Glad to have that resolved.

There was at least 2 busts that day then, because the one I heard (while transiting the TFR properly, on a squawk code) was an older guy who entered it from the west in Delaware and was intercepted around Georgetown.

I believe I heard this on guard. the fighter was trying to make contact, around 3:45 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 11. I told my student it's exactly why you check with FSS before flying

I heard this on guard while I was flying Sunday. It was the jet pilot asking if he was on frequency and asked if he saw him to rock his wings. First serious TFR bust I've heard on guard in NJ.

Just curious. You have an IFR-certified GTN GPS, two G3X and an IFR-capable autopilot. Why is your airplane placarded against flight into IMC? If you don't have all the other required equipment to fly IFR, then why the (considerable) expense of an IFR-certified GPS?
@rcarsey2 ай бұрын
This is a long answer.. the short version is that the factory-built S-LSA aircraft can fly IFR, but not in IMC. This is due to the manufacturers’ consortium ASTM committee wanting it that way for all S-LSA aircraft. For my homebuilt plane, I wanted it to have an E-LSA airworthiness certificate (better resale value). So it’s an exact replica of the factory-built S-LSA. The placards are the same, the bolts are the same, etc. Once you get the E-LSA certificate, you can change the plane however you wish, as long as it’s still within the LSA category (1320lbs, 2 seats, fixed pitch propeller, low stall speed, 120kt max speed). So in my case, the aircraft has the equipment specified in 91.205(d) (night VFR equipment + radio, gyro, directional gyro, slip-skid, altimeter, clock, rate of turn, nav equipment for the filed route). The AW certificate allows IFR flight if equipped. The placard doesn’t allow it. However, as an experimental, I can simply remove the placard, note it in the logbook, and fly IMC too. Whether that’s smart is debatable.. I’d probably want a second AHARS sensor and a heated pitot tube too if flying through hard IMC. But for popping through clouds in the summertime.. that’d probably be fine. I don’t do that, but I do practice approaches and I’m comfortable flying down to VFR minimums knowing I can go IFR if need be.

What does the SB accomplish. Does it move the bottom of the radiator aft? Mine touches on the outboard lower corners like shown in the SB . I hope it relocated the radiator more aft. I can’t trim anything on the cowl where mine touches. At 39 seconds in mine touches the lower corner of the tank.

It does not move it. It only prevents vibration and prolongs the life of it.

Nicely done video. I have no radiators but still fun to watch.
@jetset444 ай бұрын
Another great video, Rob! I just completed this SB a few days ago, but I'm sure glad I watched this video as I learned two important things: 1) I didn't notice the light contact between the cut edge on the radiator to the mounting lugs of the oil cooler. Mine mostly clears, but there was one spot that was in contact so I'll need to take the radiator back off and file it down. There is no coolant in mine yet so that won't be too much work. 2) I didn't cut the rubber isolators since I couldn't see the need, but I think you brought up a great point about expanding the isolator to fill the hole better. So I'll go ahead and make that change while the radiator is off, as well. Thanks for sharing your experience! FYI, I also recently followed your advice and video to upgrade the CPU fans, so thanks for that, too.

The stabilator tips were filled by the builder himself. Along with homemade fiberglass vertical stab fairing and homemade fiberglass gear leg to wheel pan fairings. All the fiberglass work was completed by the builder prior to being painted by Evoke. (Tiffany Meyers)

Although a cool gadget, still trying to figure out the point of this on a VFR aircraft where your butt is only a couple feet above the wheels that are darn near right below you. If it's "because you can" I totally get that! For me personally, adding more distractions is not good, YMMV. I do appreciate the video, it was fun to watch and I enjoy seeing what other people are messing with! Cheers :)

I see that you have a "Check canopy" warning and I suppose you also have an annunciator repeating "Check canopy latch". Can you please tell me if you removed it and how? Thanks!
@rcarsey Жыл бұрын
I'd have to check my plane, but if the canopy microswitch is open, you'll see the message (any RPM). If the engine RPM are above a certain level, you'll get the aural alert. I believe the Settings File that you get from the Van's website sets the RPM limit (2500?). You definitely don't want to disable the aural alert.. it's believed that more than one person has died from the canopy opening in flight after takeoff.. better to fix the alerts than outright disable.
