REFLECTOR: [c-a] Blue Mountain Instruments - Problems?

[Jeff Barnes]

Thanks Brett, 
 
   I've cc'd Marc.  FOLKS, pls be sure to COPY Marc, who is collecting these for Dick Rutan, he's not on the Reflector.  
 
  Also, Marc, you can find a couple of years of complaints in the archives at www.TVBF.ORG/pipermail.   But, I don't think those are searchablle. I have a reflector postings as a Mozilla Thunderbird (aka netscape) email folder, which is easy to put on your hard drive than download the Thunderbird email product (10mb or so) to search/sort/read/print all past emails.  -OR- Brett also has our archives in searchable form at the "Velocity Wiki" site, www.velocityxl.com, although I can't seem to get the search to work quite right.
 
Regards,
 
Jeff Barnes
 
 
Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

Yes, I did have issues, and just recently sold my Gen 3 EFIS/One to another Velocity flyer who's gen 3 was down and unrepairable (BMA doesn't have parts for these units anymore) and bought a new GRT Horizon system for my plane.  My G3 would occasionally roll 30 degrees for no reason.  Also the promised weather and scalable map were never ported back to my G3 (I have a pretty good email stream of these "promises" around here somewhere).  I found the autopilot would do OK with altitude hold, and heading bug, but didn't like to do climbs or descents.

Please copy Marc on all postings as he does not receive reflector email. By way of introduction, Marc is a CSA guy, works at Scaled Composites, has 1 or more Oshkosh forums.
