I have a G3X suite installed in my completed RV-14A, currently awaiting the FAA registration certificate to get back to me and then get the airworthiness DAR inspection/sign-off.
A friend with a configured G3X system in his RV-14 wants to help me get started with my system configuration.
QUESTIONS >
1- Can he download his G3X configuration onto an SD card so that I can install his system onto my G3X system? Yes with caveats.
2- Do both systems need to be running the same system version software? G3X said NO.
3- Is there a specific process for the source download and the target upload? Yes G3X will send an email to describe.
4- The two Garmin suites do not have the same boxes and wiring, does that make the sharing impossible or just leaves things to work out? There will be things to work out.
A review with G3Xpert offered advice; the bottom line is that 'it's worth a try' but may be fraught with a number of fine issues, e.g. fuel config, ADHRS config, autopilot servo settings, etal. One place in the system that would be prone to lots of confusion is in the RS232 setup.
The whole experiment can be deleted from the system and return the beginning with a clean blank system.
