Pitch reference adjustment

I understand that the pitch ladder adjustment is to align the horizon during cruise. But why exactly dont we have the ability to adjust the pitch reference as on traditional Attitude Indicators? Its really messing with my scan not to have the AI as the primary instrument with the ability to adjust i...

Fan ventilation for servos

My both roll and pitch servos are in a tight stick control bay of my Mustang2. It makes for a super tidy installation, but as I'm doing testing now, I'm concerned about heating/overheating. I have no actual data to indicate an overheating problem, just doing the thought engineering. I have room to i...

Page Selection: Page Flip

In the General menu, theres Page selection -> Page flip: page#..... My HXr came set with Page1: Last used PFD or PDF split, and Page2: last used Map. Ive fiddled with this, set them to none, set them back, but cant see any differences with how the PDF or Maps come up, defaults etc when just set to N...

Re: Mini-X making Internal Magnetometer function

Ok wait a sec. I count at least 4 places in the Mini-X manual that tells me that the external magnetometer is optional for the Mini-X. Which to me means that I get to choose whether I use the internal or external magnetometer. (Its an issue cause my mini-x doesnt want to calibrate with the external ...

Mini-X making Internal Magnetometer function

I'm on the bench with my Mini-X. My in-plane setup is 2 HXr and the mini-X, which share the dual AHRS and external magnetometer no problem. On the bench at home, I have no GPS antenna and no external magnetometer connected but want to make the internal mag function. Ive set Serial 3 to Off, and set ...

HxR: EGT/CHT History timeline - changable?

In Rev B 11.3.2 of the HxR user manual its says we have the ability to change the timeline to the last 10mins of data. I'd like to do this (and the mentioned 2 min window also), but the referenced right knob is either dedicated to A/P or Alt setting in PDF mode, or Select details in the Eng/Map mode...

Re: Connector A18

Ah ok.

Since the mini has its own internal GPS and external antenna, does it not automatically pick off zulu time from the satellites that it could pass around?

I'm bench testing and doing setup away from the airplane right now, so I cant test this.

Thanks

Re: Connector A18

Jeff,
I have a mini and two HxRs. My mini has battery backup, and all three are connected so they share dimming, baro etc. Will they also share time if the Mini is kept up to date? If not is there a setting that would make that work?
