Hi all;
After a great flight the other day I sadly spotted various cracks around the canopy *frame* on our RV9 tip up
We’d previously noticed the gaps increasing between the frame and fuse but only just spotted these cracks - they must’ve been there for a while it seems
There are two cracks, both in existing factory welds. One at the hinge where it has a flange welded onto it to rivet to the frame. This seems to have been a common issue on RV6 tip ups, but ours is an RV9 with the...

I'm working on wiring for the Garmin GAD 27 and have some questions about how power goes in and out related to the trim servos.
First, some basics. There are two power inputs so the GAD 27 can be powered from two separate busses -- J271 pin 7 and TB273 pin 1. Technically the latter is for the "keep alive" feature but the manual says it can also power the GAD 27.
Second, the lights (presumably landing/tax) are easy -- light 1 power in, light 2 power in, light 1 power out, light 2 power out...
