Curtis, they might be 4mm x .7 screws.

I second everything Mr. Maxwell just said!

Yes, I understand that ipads are not that accurate on their own, that's why I noted my use of the Dual GPS ( model XGPS160 ). Yes, I understand that WAAS enabled devices are very accurate, also why I use the Dual GPS. What I apparently didn't understand is that you were only interested in the...

For anybody that might be interested, here is a rundown on what I have done to mitigate the impact of the 740b on my mechanical compass. 1. I physically moved the compass away from the gps. 2. I applied some Mu-metal to the back of the gps. At this point it appears that the relocation of...

Prior to purchasing my 740b I used an ipad mini (no phone capability model), Foreflight, and a Dual Electronics GPS unit. This combination always got me where I wanted to go. As far as altitude is concerned, I have never seen complete agreement between the altimeters, both mechanical and...

Yes, I saw it in the instructions for PAI's balance balls ( sounds like there could be seals involved). I have just ordered some, supposed to be here Monday. I have hopes that by moving the compass further away from the 740 and using the Mu-Metal I will be able to use the new compass. Dave G

Yes, So far I have tried disconnecting the 740 from the ships power, turning off the 740 with ships power disconnected with no change in the affect on the compass. I took the 740 off its mount while flying and the compass becomes accurate with 740 laying in the seat. I am reasonable sure the...

My 740b and my new PAI-700 vertical card compass don't play well together. I am in the process of moving the compass further from the 740b, but have considered another option. I don't use any of the audio function so I am looking at removing the two speakers from the 740b. Has anyone done the...

Thanks again Tony, BTW the same process worked on the 740b. Dave G

Thanks Tony, I tried your suggestion on my ipad application with success. Later today I will see if it works on the 740b. Dave G.

I recently switched to Adventure Pilot from Foreflight, primarily because of the ability to have a NMEA output to a AP. The 740b is acceptable in function for the most part, but I really do not care for the Terrain Window in the middle of the lower part of the screen. This window, at least on...
