Hey gang,
My partner and I are going to be installing dual Garmin G5s in our 1976 Arrow II. We are in the middle of discussions on parting-ways with our vacuum system all-together. Redundancy is great, but vacuum systems cost money over the long haul. Plus, I understand each G5 has a backup battery with ample discharge time (4 hours each?) Anyway, I wanted to pulse the team here on a couple questions:
1) Anyone perform a similar install and have feedback on tossing out the complete vacuum system?
2) My partner spoke with another pilot that mentioned something about the G5 batteries being known for "overheating" in the sun. Any experience with this? (we live in Dallas, HOT in summer)
Thanks folks
Our other equipment just in case:
S-tec 50 AP
GTN 750, flight stream 210
GNS 430W
GDL ADS-B in
GTX 330
GMA 340
