Re: Reading ECU data from serial port
It seemed to take a long time. Maybe 20 minutes. I did pull the fuel pump breakers as part of the process. The laptop is old and the battery is not very good so I was concerned it would die before the task was completed. Also, the mechanic told me I did not want to run out of battery in the middle a...

Re: Reading ECU data from serial port
When starting the engine the other day, I had an ECU A and an ECU B failure. Damn. I am at an airport that does not have a Diamond mechanic. Fortunately, the good people at Special Services in Greenville, South Carolina, (an authorized repair facility) FedEx’d me the serial port connector (loaned) a...

Re: Alternatives for Plexus
I use plexus prist or zepp. Don’t have a good reason other than tradition. I originally bought plexus but it’s crazy expensive. My line guy gave me some cans of prist because FBO switched to zepp. I can’t tell the difference. When I use the Zepp it seems to work quite well.

Re: Want to Buy: DA-40 Wheel Fairings
Sanford Asman in Atlanta has a set. He had them refinished and before he could install them his plane was crushed by a tornado. Private message me and I’ll give you his number.

Re: Bose A30 - Unwanted Noise
Symptoms: I can hear ATC but ATC can only hear engine noise. As I write this I realize that makes no sense. But truly I could hear ATC but it could not hear me but said the engine noise was quite clear. Hmmmm.

Re: Bose A30 - Unwanted Noise
Sportys J2 with standard plugs. I’m debating whether to go with new radio - the new j2 is supposed to be better. Or try to return the a30 for standard plugs and give up on lemo. Or keep the lemo and use as copilot/passenger headset and never worry about batteries being dead. Advice?

Re: Bose A30 - Unwanted Noise
I bought the Lemo adapter and an A30 Lemo headset. The never running out of battery power is attractive. But I do have some noise when talking on intercom but it’s ok. But a word to the wise, the adapter does not work on the Sportys direct dual plug handheld radio. So, I’ve either got to get a new h...

Re: They're out there among us...
Rich, I’m confused. I think you write that I can reduce my fuel by 15 gallons and increase my passenger/luggage load by 101 pounds. That would be 680 pounds. Fiddling with Foreflight I can go to zero fuel and that very much exceeds the ZFW. Now, there is a very real chance I’m doing this wrong, but ...
