Hi guys..
I purchased an RV12 already built a couple of months ago. Since I didn’t build the plane, I now find myself continually trying to figure out where things are and how to get to them. I end up looking through the KAIs, Rotax manuals, RV12 Maintenance Manual and searching here on VAF. I guess there is a learning curve to figuring it all out, but I sure seem to spend lots of time doing research..
I spent the better part of two hours trying to research CHTL / EGTL and just decided you guys might be able to save me some time. The latest issue I have been trying to figure out is that my CHTL and EGTL readings on the Skyview display seem to fluctuate wildly between normal readings and zero.. Sometimes when I see the fluctuations I can change my throttle setting and the readings will settle down. Is there a common ground between these two circuits that I can check? I found the info about EGT sensors in the KAI 48.07, so I will take a look at the sensor and wiring to make sure all looks okay. Any other ideas what I should check? Where is the CHTL located and what does it look like? Haven’t had much luck finding CHT sensor in the KAI so far. Can anyone direct me to where it’s listed?
Thanks!
