Hi Rob,
Using the AF2500. The oil temp does not display when the system comes on. Usually it comes on line after the thing warms up and is good for the rest of the flight.

Hi Rob,
Finalizing things for the panel. Do you recommend having an EFIS/GPS switch for the auto pilot?
Thanks in advance.

You are "Da Man." Thanks for the quick reply.
Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting the amazing pictures on VAF. I have a couple of questions that I'm curious about that may be of benefit to others. I might be missing a couple of things even though I've...
Hi Bob,
I was worried about the box size and the sub panel. It is easy to make provisions for the harnesses. Tougher if the box is bigger. I'm using the Approach Systems hub and harnesses. The...
Perfectamundo!!! I was going to budget 5" of space with connectors.

Hi Guys,
Can't find the depth of the 5500. Can you provide so I can see if one of the support ribs is in the way.

A couple of us were talking the other day about the new TruTrak Gemini series of auto pilots and back up instruments.
Will there be an Advanced Flight Systems version of the Gemini? Not that it...
Trevor, Trevor, I know you are there:)) You've answered several questions today but skillfully avoided this one. Go find Rob and get permission to let us know an answer to my question.
Great job...
The 3400/3500 evolved into the 4500. Natural deal. Now we have the 5600 coming out with some great features but a large screen. However, it is not for everyone due to the size.
So, how about the...
That sucks!!!!!
Hey Guys,
From a friend that attended Sun n Fun. He said the Sandia transponder module is/will be available shortly for the 5600 with direct control from the screen controls.
Will this same...
That would be a great feature. Crossfill to the AFS. I'm going with the new Garmin 650 and I hope this could be a possibility to transfer the flight plan.
Hi Rob,
I watched your video and was a little confused. I know the effort was to compare ADS-B vs. XM and the differences were evident. You mention the traffic and said you wouldn't put in a 330S...
I'll see if I can post some pictures. Chris is my next door neighbor at Stellar air park in Chandler, AZ (P19). His 7 is truly the nicest one in the World. He built it to sell (and it is sold to a...
Hi Trevor,
I'm a few months out from needing my 4500 screens. I'm doing a copy of Chris Sands incredible panel. I don't want any "added" components, like a 496 for weather and tunes.
What is...
Trevor,
I'm considering using the Approach Systems wiring hub with a dual screen 4500 panel. I have the Pro G hub in my current plane and it greatly simplified the wiring.
Do you know of...
Thanks Trevor,
I guess I'll go ahead with the 4500's I've got the trays already and have laid out the panel. Looks good.
On a second note, when will more weather detail be available on the...
I'm building a RV7 slider. My intent was to install 2 4500's along the with the Vertical Power 200 and radio stack in the panel. After looking everything over, the 4500's are quite large.
I would...
Installing OAT probe. Does the nylon washer go on the probe side or the nut side? It looks as if it could serve as an insulator.
Thanks,

Okay Rob, enough rest, back to work. We were teased with a couple of photos of a new, larger screen. Give it up, what's the story?
Is it a new product? Just a bigger screen? Availability? Is it a...
What did you use for your panel design? Looks good.

Hi Rob,
I know I'm being a pain in the arse, but need to ask these question to eliminate delays in construction.
1) I'm doing a dual screen AHRS. Do I need two magnetometers?
2) Do I need...
Terry,
Where are you going to mount these in your 7? I'll be mounting some soon too.
