You're welcome. I hate it when the solution to a problem doesn't get posted, so I try really hard not to do that. The adjustment he made was to set the scale factor to 1 because that's where the manual said to start. Not a useful thing to do at all, but I also didn't tell him I had adjusted...

Just a follow up. Still not fixed, but the original guy is showing some (not much, but some) interest in making this right. On May 3rd he made "an adjustment to the AP" and I wasn't able to fly it for several days after that due to weather. Finally got to try it last Thursday and it's worse...

Yes, the G5 manual. I don't know which rev I was looking at since I don't have it in front of me. In the Rev 30 the diagrams I was referring to are on pages 132 and 186, but I think that will end up being irrelevant. I did have an ST-901, but was under the impression it was just a pass...

That was mentioned in the original post and again after that. I previously had a KI525 HSI that worked perfectly with the STEC. The G5/GAD29 have the same output as the KI525, so the STEC is configured correctly for the application.

According to pages 147 and 181 of the installation manual (which I reserve the right to be reading incorrectly) the only STEC models that receive a direct signal from the 430 are the 55, 60 and 65. The 30 only gets a heading correction signal from the GAD29 and the source of that correction is...

If all the nav signals go to the HSI and the HSI is used to determine which one gets sent to the AP it seems like that should be an all or nothing deal if there was a piece missing. And the heading bug isn’t ground based. What am i missing?

No. As I said in my original post this was not a pleasant experience and I have no desire to go back to them if at all possible. If I have to get more work done on it I will likely take it somewhere else even though it will cost me more money to do so. At this point I have no faith in the...

This is my first post here, but since my online search for resolution to my problem has sent me here to read numerous threads on similar issues I figured I would give it a try. I bought my plane 10 years ago with a 430W, STEC-30 and KI525 HSI in the panel. This combination worked perfectly...
