I’ve been speaking a lot by e-mail with my buddies in Holland about the SBC controller. There’s been talk on various forums, and some information posted in the Aerosance knowledge base that the SBC-100 will work with the EFIS 1, if wired correctly. The output from the SBC-100 is RS422, so if you connect just one of the wires A or B, the EFIS will be able to read the info. That’s great news, but Aerosance wouldn’t sell me an SBC-100. That’s why I’ve been holding out for the new SBC-250.

Well, Aart & Co. PH-VII are using a VM1000C now for their engine monitoring, and they have an SBC-100, which is of no use to them. Aart offered their SBC-100 to me, and they’ll then take the SBC-250. What a life saver! Word on the street is that it should be winging it’s way here tomorrow! That’s pretty nice of the guys in Holland to help me out this way. It’ll get me a long way to getting my plane flying sometime this summer.

A whole hearted thanks go out to you guys. I owe you one!
