Fuselage February 2008 Updates February 10, 2008 EFIS Config and Elevator Trim.... - 3.0 hrs Hooked up the EFIS to charge the backup battery and do so testing. Tested the audio alarms. Everything sounds great. Next configured the altitude encoder to feed altitude data to the transponder. Set it to Icarus mode per Tim at Approach Faststack. Still not getting any altitude message on the 327 though. I emailed Tim to see if there is something else I am missing. Connected the pins and miniture 6 pin connectors for the elevator trim motor. Hooked up power, ground and switch in the panel. No good. Removed the pins from the connector and inserted just the pins. Works fine. I am going to hunt down Jim K and shoot him.
