RSM location
Great panel! I was thinking about the Aspen E5, but the local avionics shop never worked on a skymaster before and didnt know the best place to put the RSM. Where did they put it on your plane?
Thanks!!

TBM uses 45 ~ 70 GPH per hour, depending on the performance profiles... 280K ~ 320K;
Call that what?
300 knots on 60 gph? Around 5 mpg Not significantly much more fuel than a 337! Its not GPH but MPG that counts. Oh yes, and overhaul, maintenance and insurance. A C172 only uses 10 gph to go what, 105 knots? So maybe 10 mpg. -- I have a friend who prattles on about Mooney fuel efficiency. I have told him, "It is not polite to discuss fuel efficiency in the presence of twin owners..."

I know you guys are talking non-pressurized here, so this is just for completeness.
For the pressurized birds, I'm told the roof of the cabin would require a DER approval for any additional holes in the pressure vessel. I don't think that's a big deal but does add some expense (and time?) to the install. A guy that used to work at Aspen told me they like to put them towards the rear of a boom so they can run wires thru existing holes and just redo the sealant-- thus avoiding any changes requiring DER approval. I've never actually seen one done this way, but then this was a recent conversation and I've never looked. Last edited by GearUp : 05-02-23 at 09:51 AM.
