C-GXTM first flight
Tony Kirk RE on HIC module RV12is
Yes, the EMS bypasses the HIC Module. You can start and run your engine using the EMS switch as long as you turn the EMS switch OFF after engine start.
The LED color on the IGNITION Module Arduino is irrelevant. It can be red or green based on the Arduino manufacturer. These LEDs are Not used for diagnostics.
If the Diagnostic LED on the HIC module is White then the HIC is getting the 5 volt start signal (SBB) from the IGNITION Module, proving the SBB wire is pinned properly and the IGNITION Module Arduino is commanding the HIC MOSFETS to connect both battery busses together. It sound like both of these modules are working as they should.
The next thing to check would be the X3 connector at the Rotax fusebox, to be sure the wires were inserted in the proper position. This is a builder-populated connector, and it wouldn't be the first time it was assembled wrong.
The schematic has all the circuit numbers. Also check that the circled solder-sleeve appears to be properly melted.

Here are pics of the DIY carb heat muff shroud over the crossover pipes. The top and bottom half of the "sardine can" clamp to the pipes and air is drawn in through the open ends.

HIC module RV12is
Have a no start problem. Tech at Lockwood says HIC module is the problem. Anyone have had a similar problem and fixed it by replacing module. Sam

Carb Heat Muff
I'm building an RV9A with a carb O-320. The original builder added cabin heat (per OP-29 Cabin Heat) but not carb heat. I want to add carb heat but am having trouble figuring out which heat muff to use on the exhaust cross over. The OP-54 drawing show a common heat muff for both carb heat and...

RV7A IAS/Static Port Issue - Any Other Thoughts?
I haven’t posted much if at all over the course of my build, but I’m looking for some input from the VAF brain trust. I have a newly flying RV 7A with about 12 hours on it now and I’ve been trying to solve an IAS issue. I’ve spent time researching VAF and the internet trying to resolve the...

RV6 Elevator skin cracks - how to repair?
My RV6 (kit is from 1998) has cracks on the elevator skin by the rivets. The previous owner stop drilled it and added two rivets. I noticed that the stop drilling didn’t work. What is the best way to fix this?
