I just bought an RV-3 with a 10" G3X touch installed. I tried locating the info I'm looking for in the Pilot's manual and the installation manual without any luck.
I am not getting any audible warnings for the EIS. During climb out I was getting CHT's in the 450 deg F range. I'm getting the visual warning but not the audible warning. I do get warnings for obstacles so the audible connection is working.
I also am unable to locate where to set/change EIS parameters (CHT/EGT's, fuel pressure, etc.).
The plane also has the Garmin servos but does not have the panel mount AP so everything is via the G3X. When I reached altitude I engaged the AP, NAV, and the ALT button. It held altitude and followed the flt plan. When I adjusted the Alt bug the AP didn't follow the bug. When I changed from NAV mode to HDG mode the AP did follow the heading bug but still did not follow the Alt bug.
I also noticed there is no default setting for decent/accent rate of climb, no min/max airspeed default setting. I was unable to find this info in both the Installation and the Operating Manual. I am using the Experimental manuals.
Since I don't have a GMC305 AP panel mount, am I able to install a Level Button instead of engaging it through the G3X? I assume there is a pin on one of the connectors that you ground out to engage the AP for level flight.
On the main EIS page that's showing on the rt side of the display, can I have the Fuel REM info displayed instead of having to go into the EIS page and then select the Fuel Calc tab? How I do my fuel management is by using the fuel remaining info. I would rather display Fuel REM info than fuel gauge qty since the gauges are so inaccurate. For this plane the total fuel is 28 gals. I'll start with the left tank and burn 28-20 gal, switch to the Rt tank and burn 20-10 gals. Left tank 10-6. So now I know exactly how much fuel I have in each tank at any point in time instead of using time to switch tanks. Time is inaccurate because taxiing uses little fuel and climb uses a lot of fuel.
Thanks,
