David: Yes i have read an article about the installation and expecially the "=
trials and tribulations " and how he sorted out all the growing pains of the=
 installation.
For all the R&D that was done i am very grateful.
My installation is a footprint of his setup but only a p port.
Thanks let us now when the "bluebird RV6 " is in the hangar.

Regards Le Roux
