I know the "correct" answer to this, (read the instructions) and G3Xpert has been helpful, but I could use some real world answers to these questions. I'm replacing my GDL39R with a GDL52R which is the SXM receiver.
My GDL39R is mounted vertically on the avionics subpanel. The GDL52R COULD mount in the exact spot, but the installation instructions call for it to be mounted horizontally within a few degrees of the longerons. The instructions also calls to "Cage the gyros" with the plane level, flying position.
So the questions are:
#1- Will this thing work in the vertical position, and:
#2- What does the GDL52R talk to that needs the attitude positioning?
