Was unable to find a module that worked. Tried the newest from Bendix and an older TT one. Neither worked. Guessing pinouts or functionality changed to no longer match the AF-PILOT. I've created...

Anyone have an older rev TT Autotrim module that they have laying around and want to part with? Mine failed and will not pass through the trim servo commands when the autopilot is disconnected. (not...
Thanks Shawn. I will give PocketFMS a try. The two data card option sounds like a plan.
I am planning a trip to Canada this coming summer (from the U.S.) and wanted to make sure I understood what needs to be done for my AFS-4500 database needs.
I assume that the PocketFMS route is...
Can the AFS/Dynon ADS-B receiver be used with a 4500 EFIS? I only see reference to wiring it in the 5000 series manual.
I am unable to get the standby frequency from my SL-30 to display the orange bearing needle on the 4500 HSI.
My SL-30 is NAV2 and I had the secondary frequency set to a different VOR than the...
Thanks Rob. I thought that might be the case. And thanks for continuing to provide updates for our 4500s. It is appreciated.
I have a question regarding the new autopilot functionality.
Is the change just to the highlighting of the LAT and VERT indicators along with the purple AP in between them? I ask because after...
jkgoblue, if you look at the release notes, there were a few releases in September which are rolled up into this release.
Vs8.08.29-MV16 09/29/2014
Fixed TIS serial parser when connected to...
Is it by chance the Contemporary Controls EIBA5-100T that Stein sells? If so, I've had issues with it also. 2nd EFIS/EM and XM are attached to the hub for me and when the hub hiccups I lose XM and...
I found it at Stein's. http://www.steinair.com/storedetail.cfm?productid=531 Got it from him with the package. Thanks Rob.
I got my avionics though Stein. It's labeled as an AF-HUB on the box, but that was a few years ago. My AFS Sales Order was #2593 from 08/9/2010. If it turns out that it came from Stein instead of...
I was able to do some further troubleshooting on this yesterday.
When the two screens are hooked together directly without the hub everything is fine. When the screens are both hooked to the...
I see stick woke up from his nap a few posts ago to complain again. I for one am very pleased with the 4500s I have, but then I'm easily pleased. I also got what I paid for, i.e. the features that...
Thanks Rob. I'll give that a test. Just realized that I should have also checked to see if the MFD lost XM WX, which would also be the case if the ethernet hub went dark. Will check that before...
Dual 4500s. PFD is EFIS only and MFD is EFIS/EM.
I'm in phase one flight testing. About 30 minutes or so into every flight I've had the PFD (EFIS only) bring up a "Remote AHRS Failure" message. ...
Thanks Rob...
I acquired an AN471-4D Aeroquip fitting as recommended in the manual to connect the manifold pressure to the transducer. I need some help with how the fitting is supposed to be connected.
A bit...
This is not going to answer your question directly, but I highly recommend the Max Trescott book on GPS and WAAS Instrument Flying. It has a whole section explaining why you should not use Vectors...
In my RV-10 I have the 2awg from rear bat running up the left side of the plane. The EFIS harness included with the 4500 has magnetometer wires that are long enough if you run them back the left...
The hub I received when getting my package of "stuff" from Stein was the Contemporary Controls EIBA5-100T.
According to this thread in the VP forums they advise splicing to send the POS-12 to the EFIS with a VP-200. The VP-X obviously sends the info, but for us with a VP-200 it seems a single POS-12 is...
Sorry, ignore. I found this thread.
I've seen reference on other forums that the flap switch is not needed for the AOA option included with the AF-4500 if a POS-12 is feeding flap position to the...
I'd just like to confirm that the pitot and static connections on both the EFIS *and* AF-Pilot are 1/8" NPT. Couldn't locate that info in the install manual.
Also, confirm that these *are not*...
I would not want correct shadowing on my EFIS if it was late afternoon and the sun was in front of me. That would make all the contours harder to see. I want to see all the contours as if the sun...
