Yes, providing you can make a reliable new connection with a 50 Ohm connector , the coax length on these bought antenna isnt tuned in any way its just sold with a usable length but lengthening it a lot will reduce the signal/noise ratio a bit

I also have a D3 as a backup AI, It doesnt like vibration and I found it would wander when mounted somewhere prone to vibration but a reposition with some hardish foam in the mount I made cured that I don't use the synthetic vision/terrain option and imagine its not that usefull on such a small screen Also it needs a GPS fix for the horizon to come online.

Yes sorry, I was curious for myself as all solenoids I have seen have the heavy duty starter cables direct to the battery and it would be these points on the solenoid that a jump start connection would be made to, perhaps there is a further heavy duty relay in the line that needs switching? As you said, It is a question that Langted needs answering before connecting anything

Kiwi surely the relevant relay connections go straight to the battery?, so this would work?

Your EFIS may have a logging function where you could look up the numbers of certain parameters on your last flight

Have a UMA fuels pressure sender also, it is working fine after 10 years service mounted on the cabin side of firewall but with the threaded portion going penetrating into the engine bay. but they arent cheap (£295 in UK)

Reading that comment especially this sentence: Makes me suspect the commenter is likely not an instructor Youtube Comments sections do seem to attract the Walter Mittys of this world

Brendan, the Bypass is not to allow normal operation via the mechanical pump when the facet pump is turned off but rather to allow an alternate path for fuel delivery should the Facet pump fail in a manner that it became blocked I don't know of any reports that a Facet pump has failed closed though and had about 500 hours on a previous aircraft with an inline facet and no bypass so admittedly the bypass is possibly entirely superfluous

I suppose they think if they allow anyone then they might have to spend time explaining fundamentals and terminology that would slow things down for everybody. Not for one moment implying you dont know your stuff, just perhaps one reason they might limit entry. Good luck though, never hurts to ask.

Been a bit hectic lately, heres my pump and bypass fitted:

Thanks Blue, I've fitted mine now. Mine is not cenetred but mounted off one of the lower tubes under the passenger seat. I also fitted a bypass loop with a one way valve as a bit of belt and braces though I know the failure mode of the facet pumps is to fail open. other skyrangers at my field dont have a bypass, I guess there is no harm in fitting one except for the extra plumbing giving more failure points. I'm getting it signed off on Saturday and will take a picture. Thanks again.

Thanks, I'm not sure if that is available in the UK but I'll look into it. Sorry my question turned into such a thing, it isnt really a biggie just aesthetics really Blue skies

I do appreciate the replies but didnt specifically reply to you as you seemed to just want to give a lesson on well known aspects of Materials but no real pertinent advice, sorry if that hurt your feelings. BTW, I never said it had been sitting idle for years so im a bit confused as to where you got that from. again everyone thanks for the replies.🙂

Wow, I've never even seen a DC4 for real. I'm not sure if they were ever common here in the UK does it have any form of autopilot fitted? I know the DC6 had a sort of crude one I think called a Gyro-pilot?

Thanks for replies, I tried the Starbrite stuff that the boast forums recommend and its expensive rubbish, made no difference whatsoever. I think I'll try good old T-cut on an small area and see what that does
