    question for Dynon about autopilots moving forward

    Yeah, no, sorry you lost me there. It's more than 5 YEARS after the promised autotrim, and I still have no autotrim. You don't get to pass that off to the FAA. They are slow, but not that slow.

    I feel like we've already covered this.

    Shielded or twisted wire for yaw and pitch servos and where to ground the servos

    Well there you go - belt AND suspenders, if that's your thing.

    question for Dynon about autopilots moving forward

    Physically? Yes. Legally? No. The trim motors have always been there, but it's the STC for it that is lacking. I'm perfectly aware what the Dynon marketing says - but marketing and reality are not the same when it comes to the autotrim functionality. It needs the Trimamp module and it will...

    MARKING A DATA LOG.

    I suspect you might have a problem with the USB stick you are using. Try an 8GB stick formatted for FAT32.

    HDX no auto pilot

    You'll need to perform a servo calibration as well. Once that is done you should have full AP control.

    PIREPS Symbology

    Section 5, specifically page 5-72, of the current user manual available FREE from this very same website. Imagine that! Free! It's like they wanted people to actually, you know, READ IT or something, I dunno...

    Shielded or twisted wire for yaw and pitch servos and where to ground the servos

    I built all my own cables as well, using twisted pair instead of shielded for the network connections, no issues in just over 3000 hours and 4 different airplanes. I'm not thinking there is a real need for shielded over twisted pair, as long as you keep your data cables separated from heavy...

    Shielded or twisted wire for yaw and pitch servos and where to ground the servos

    Vans may specify shielded for the autopilot servos, but I think thats just a generic "catch-all" for good clean signals to the device. You will notice, if you look, that there is no such thing as a servo with Vans logo on it - so Vans cannot really say what is, or is not, needed for any...

    Low voltage hdx indicator any advice please random goes low but system is charging fine ok

    Are you certain your actual battery voltage is not going down? If the alternator is not charging (which is indicated by the -3 amps displayed) then the battery voltage will decay, and the voltage indication may actually be correct. If you're absolutely sure the alternator and battery are both...

    MAP and oil pressure failed, crossed out

    Agreed. I don't like Plane Power alternators either - but this is not a guaranteed Plane Power problem.

    Map Info Setup HDX

    I'm in the same condition - the pitot heat indicator on my screen shows only that the heat controller is active, or not. It does not show the pulsing behavior of the heater itself, only tells me if the heat controller is on or off. That's the only output that the heat controller has available...
