It's the remote one .. 45R.

I double checked the wires were to the correct pins. Exactly like the diagram. There’s only one rs232 connection between the two. And the transponder isn’t on the CAN bus. I emailed G3Xpert@garmin.com. Maybe they’re just behind.

We put a garmin g3x panel in the Velocity VTwin we’ve been building. 2 460’s, 750, G5, 45R, remote com, remote audio panel. I can’t get the 460 pfd to establish the rs232 connection to and control the transponder. I verified the wiring to the right pins. It’s all wired per a Steinair diagram...

As part of our testing, we've been watching the pitch/buck (canard stall) as we move the CG back from the first flight box. Yesterday our test pilot was seeing around 66 kts while still having good roll control. That was probably around 3000 pounds.

Don .. I was thinking 9 or 10 flying. There were 6 when we started ours with Ron’s being the last. It seems like 3 at the factory flew after that. And ours.

We're watching this closely, since we have the VTwin we've been building for a little over 2 years in Phase One flight testing now. I remember seeing the blue and white N13VT over at the factory. Most (all?) of the flying Twins were built at the builders center. We built ours at our hangar but...

I've owned several TC'd planes and 3 Experimentals .. 2 of which I built. I'd have to say the Warriors were the most reliable. The two Sonex the least. And the issue with the Sonex isn't the plane itself .. it's pretty bulletproof. My experience has been the lack of reliability of the Aerovee...

Not surprised to see AOPA closing the forums. I started out here when this board was initiated in response to their closing them once before. I quit AOPA a few years ago after having been a member since 1979. Their focus just wasn't on the kind of flying I do. Then when they did all this hype...

We got the engines on the Twin V … but took them back off to do the nacelles and cowls.

We have to grow old ... we don't have to grow up.

Sorry to hear this, Tom. Thoughts and prayers go out to you for a full recovery. Even if you're not crawling around airplanes you still have a wealth of knowledge to share.

That page shows 215k TAS with 360s for the twin and 195k TAS for the XLRG at 75% power. It show's the twin at 195k at economy cruise. Do I think it'll true out at 215K? Not really. But given that the friend I'm helping build it is talking about having engines built that are over 180hp .. who...

"The single will walk on the twin." In what way? Other than the turbo .. the website shows better performance for the twin. I guess we'll find out ... the build's a go. RT

I'd love to see a builders log on the V-Twin. We're about 90% sure we're going to build one of these. RT

We're thinking about building one of these. Visited the factory and was impressed. Very cool plane. I need another project and my hangar mate wants one. RT

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll get the ones listed here to him.

I'll pass this along. Thanks.
