Default Voltage, EDM-700, trim switch follow-up

A wing mounting for the oat probe is good. I don't know what they
were thinking, but whoever installed mine (came with the plane) put it
under the belly where it catches engine exhaust. It's not seriously
in error except on the ground, but I may elect next annual to have it
moved.


That must've been a bitch to install, too.

JPI called yesterday -- they'll have my EDM-700 repaired and in the
mail today.

They offered to update the unit's software and to install a USB output
(instead of the stupid phono jack) for "only" $268. When I balked at
that, they offered instead to sell me a "little black box" that has a
USB outlet in it, that I could plug into the stupid little phono jack,
for "only" $200.

I declined that, too. For a feature I've used twice in five years, I
figured that was pretty silly. Although I'd probably use it more if
it were "plug & play"...

And the correct landing light blinky thing is also on its way from
California. Maybe by this time next week we'll have everything
done...
