Lousy weather but good enough for a short IFR flight. The goal was to confirm or adjust the Intercom squelch level in preparation for a planned flight with my wife next week. The radio just died during the run-up while programming the GTN....
At least it is the best season to be grounded on...
Got around to installing the LEMO-jack for the right side. I decided to keep the traditional headset jacks as a backup. I also found the intercom squelch settings, now working perfectly on the ground, I hope to do a flight test tomorrow.
A flight from last week that shows my confidence in the RV. An RNP aproach in actual IMC conditions.
Last evening provided some great weather. I took the oppourtunity and made an early evening flight. On my last flight I made some radio checks with a tower and got the response that reception is fully understandable (even at significant distance) but that it sounded like I was flying in an open cockpit aeroplane.
For last evenings flight, I had reduced the mic gain setting a lot, now I need to keep my mouth really close to the mic to break squelch but I got only positive feedback regarding my transmission quality. Finally a fully working radio, I will try to increase the mic gain sligtly but now I know I have a setting that works in case this recreates the noice problems. :D
I got a nice picture from my area, the pool will be installed this week.
