NavWorx ADS600 EXP, Oshkosh and return

[agirard7a]

As a flight of three RV's (8,6,4), we had a great trip to and from
Oshkosh with 1,000 nm each way. Happy to report the ADS600 Exp
that I installed in my RV-3 in 2.5 hours the night before we left, worked
great! Not once did my wingmen ever drop from my screen. I use the Garmin
GDL39 as a receiver as I have gotten use to and like the Garmin Pilot app.
Nice to be firing up the towers.

congrats on being one of the first to get theirs.
How is your set up? Any Glass in the panel and what transponder are you using?
2.5 hrs sounds pretty quick. No bumps in the install?
Did you hard wire everything or use connectors for everything?
What a great way to break it in! Ill soon be taking a long cross country to break mine in, but im sure Ill be trying it out alot local.

No bumps with the install. The only difficulty was climbing
Into the tail of my 3 to install the stubby transponder antenna
Maintaining 5' from the UAT ant. And installing the UAT min. 2' from the comm.

I have an older Terra transponder. The ease of install was compounded by
The use of the TransmonSPE which took about 5 min to install. This coupled over the transponder coax and hooked up with a USB. Only 3 of the 9 pin D-Sub connector needed in this case: power, ground, UAT fail light hooked to ground
of light.

No glass in my panel. I have an IPhone velcroed to my panel, blue toothed
To the Garmin GDL39 and also hard wired into a Garmin Aera 510. Both give traffic and updated weather. I am not using the 600EXP for an "in" source but only for firing up the towers.

I bought an iFly 740 at OSH and the company owner was pushing the NavWorx.

But what got my attention was on their display they had an iPad Mini "Velcroed" to a panel. Cept it was not Velcro but a 3M (Scotch) product called Dual Lock. Holds over 5 times the weight of Velcro and "snaps" in place. It probably has been out for a while and I am the last to know about it.

That looks like the industrial duty version of 3M's picture hanging stuff. Once pressed together, it will not come apart on it's own--unlike well used Velcro. The adhesive tape on the back needs to be applied per directions.

Funny it's actually 3m dual lock that I use. In fact that's what
I mounted the 600 exp with to the back of my seat. Used
often in marine electronics installations.
