Your CHTs on one is much cooler than the rest.. if you put some aluminum foil tape in front of #1, you can bring it up a little while cooling #3 a little better. With a little tuning like this, you could get them all within 10 degrees.
Great video. Clearly knows his topic. I am upgrading my Cardinal RGII with a G3X touch 10.3” and G5 with GTN650 Txi, GMA245r and the AOA heated regulated along with the glare shield mounted indicator so it’s in my view. I’m installing the GAD27 so I’m going to try to install the flap sensor for the 30 degree position for the flap deployed AOA settings. I got the EIS system for it so pulling my JPI EDM-830. Hopefully I’ll have the harness complete and mounted in the poly template I made in a laser then get the new left panel cut on a water-jet.
Its interesting that you did all your calibration in level flight with full flaps. The manual isn’t clear on that and I did mine a bit differently. For instance, with my approach calibration I flew half flaps at 80knts in a 500 fpm descent which would be my normal approach profile.
I saw on your master configuration page, your Master Caution sound level was set at 50%, i set mine at 30%, then on the AOA sound page set that at 30% also. That must have been ear piercing loud, Lol! Nice demonstration!
Dude this is bad ass. Thanks sooooo much for sharing. I can't fly due to my health. But brother I love all to do with General aviation. Moved close to Walla walla from SC. If you ever make it here. Would love to shake your hand. Thanks for the blessings you share with us. God bless brother
Steve, check out that awesomeness!!! I have been trying to keep up with all your doing and it so cool to see what you have accomplished!!! What a beautiful plane you have there!!!
19:16 Telemetry Data on screen!!! What tool are you using to generate those graphics? I'd love to add that to my videos - on my airplane channel, not this cooking channel.
Haha what's your airplane channel? I just subscribed to your cooking channel...good stuff! Yeah, isn't that telemetry sick?! It's a sharp young dude out of Barcelona: goprotelemetryextractor.com/
@@CLEAREDDIRECT Thank You - I had looked at his webpage a while back and didn't read far enough in to realise that it would work with data pulled from my panel. Now I need to download and give it a try. My airplane channel is: www.youtube.com/@GlensHangar
My comment on adjusting the AoA tone must of been deleted by TH-cam...I'll try again. Go into the G3X config menu and turn the alert volume back to 50% or higher. Then go into your Garmin com radio in config mode and look for alert volume (or something like that) and turn the volume down there...that should fix you up.
@@stoldrag85 Cathy, I found the setting in the G3X config page under “audio panel” setup. I wanna say it was under “Master Alert volume” or similar. On a layover right now so I can check tomorrow. Gimme a shout if you have issues! Happy Sunday
The Rans website lists Vso as 35kts with the Titan. Yours is 43kts. My dream is to build an S21 with skis for glacier landings here in Switzerland. The main factor is the speed range (Vso to Cruise) is great. The mountains are a little far from my home airport so a good top-end would be a huge benefit. 43kts would be a bit spicy on the landings though. Would appreciate if other builders have seen similar values.
Unfortunately, the Rans specs are a bit too optimistic. My 21 with the 915 stalls at 41kts. I’m sure if you did VG you could get it down a few knots slower.
Yeah...what @Captndarty said. The website and is for marketing purposes. Now I haven't done any post-stall testing; i.e. power-on controllability and stall testing. I'm guessing I can get it a little lower after I've done more stability tests. Stay tuned!
My S20 is a couple of hundred lbs lighter, has VG’s and a bigger wing, it stalls at 32-33kts. Yes, the Rans figures are optimistic. Like the S21 there is very little difference in stall speed with flap application.
@@CLEAREDDIRECTWill definitely be watching. Actual, on skis, you generally add power as you start to round out since you are landing up hill (usually). The steeper the hill, the more power, so power on stalls would also be interesting. Anyway, thanks for all the work you put into your videos (and the Bogey looks iconic).
Nicely done! Have you noticed when you’re trimmed hands off going from flaps 3 to flaps 4 the plane rolls to the left? Mine does as does another buddy of mine with a 21. There’s a little bit of cross control at flaps 4 so I only use flaps 3 now for landings considering flaps 4 just increases the drag without any additional lift. Plus, the flap lever is lower and doesn’t impede on my ergonomics to the throttle.
I haven't noticed this but I really haven't done much testing at other than full flap settings. I'll let ya know! I also want to do power-on slow flight and stalls to see if I can eek out another couple knots before stalling (after I do more stability tests and change the oil!).
@@CLEAREDDIRECT power on stalls are crazy steep. At least with mine I’m pushing 25 to 30° nose high. The whole air frame starts buffing and shaking and making noises like a bending saw-blade but it still climbs. I feel like the seatback is going to collapse. A bit unnerving lol
I would display your gauges on your video kind of in a 6 pack orientation. I had a hard time finding your air speed initially until I saw it way out of the way.

I had to do this with my s21 as well.
great job thanks Kitfox and RV 14a owner

Thanks Bobby! Sure thing! As you know we have close ties to W2 so we’ll be up there at some point this year in the Bogey!

Exactly what I came here to ask. Veer cool!
Great stuff, Steve. This will really help me when I get to that phase. Keep up the great vids! Randy
Great to hear, thanks and wilco. Enjoy the final phase of your build! She looks great
Just stumbled onto your channel Steve. Very cool. I’m having a panel done right now and am putting an indexer on the glare shield.
Cheers!
Ron
Welcome! Have fun with the new panel!
Just noticed the door stripes. Neato.

Dalteli, that’s a nice little tip I may have never found on my own, thanks for sharing
@@stoldrag85 it worked for me! Way less ear piercing now

Looks like you are doing some rolls, etc. why not have double shoulder safety belt?
I don’t see how those two things are related
