I?m at 1,000 hours on my ?10 and a few things seem to be failing. One of two voltage regulators failed but I flew with one until I could swap it out - it?s good to have redundancy. At 800 hours I swapped out my Slicks for rebuilds and seemed to gain 2-3 knots... I guess rebuilds at 500 hours is a good idea.
Then, 2 flights after swapping out the regulator, one HX wouldn?t boot up. Did I pull a wire or something? After swapping the 3 units around trying to do some problem resolution, a second wouldn?t boot. Something I did must be killing them! Fortunately with three, I could still fly on nice sunny days.
The tech at GRT listened to my story and said just send them in, probably just a random failure then a coincidence. Oh, okay...
Within a week I get them both back, they fixed what was wrong and I?m back in business.
Unlike the other failures, I was charged exactly zero... wassup with that? The units are about 10 years old and I would have gladly paid the fare.
Good folks there at GRT. Whenever I upgrade, I?ll be back! Thank You.
