A2A where is your support

[THibben]

I have had this item in the Tech Support area for several days and it appears a lot of others are interested in an answer.

I have purchased nearly every plane you have offered and while I visit your website many times a day it is mostly to learn what is being asked and stay current with what is happening. I don't log on and ask many questions but when I do it would be nice to get an answer. Maybe you feel I am just to old to be worth worrying about....grin

The items below are what I am interested in knowing regarding the T6.


There are three items in the pre flight list that I am not sure of.
Radio Compass Switch....off
Gyro Switch...on
Gyros ...uncaged

Are these simulated and if so where? I can't seem to find them.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Remote Compass: there's no switch (afaik no breaker either) so always on with power.

Gyros: the Turn & Bank comes on with electrical power.
I'm not sure about the DG, whether it is electrical or vacuum (I have assumed vacuum but I still hear a gyro sound after pulling the T&B breaker).
Attitude Indicator is vacuum (so no switch for it either).

As far caging them, not a way to do that with a knob (afaik) and possibly not needed on some newer gyro instruments (like these newer ones?).

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the answer. I kind of assumed that but wasn't sure.

Thanks again,

Welcome,

Yeah those (checklist) items were from one of the T-6s Flight Handbook.

Sorry Tom, my fault I had seen your post and thought a community member had jumped in before I had got to it and answered for you.

thanks,

Hi Lewis,

No problem. A2A is the best out there.

Thanks again,

On my T6 the remote compass has a circuit breaker on the breaker panel, bottom right.
