Just a follow up regarding my question 1 above. Don replied by email and did a mock-up and found that inserting the bolt through the servo arm from the opposite direction gave substantially better clearance with the servo motor.  I installed the bolt accordingly and agree it provides much better...

I'm installing a roll servo in my RV-9 and have questions, particularly because it's the newer Revision I version that appears to have changed significantly in both the parts list and orientation of installed hardware.  I'm having trouble finding pictures of installed servos using this revision...

Made the modification to the EDC10A per the service bulletin.  Hooked it back up.  OAT now reads dead on with the probe hooked up to the EDC10A--25F on Dynon, 25F on mercury thermometer.  No correction factor needed. All's good, at least for now.  Will try to post back in a few months when...

My EDC-10A has a serial number of 7322, which appears to fall well within the serial number range of the units affected by this SB.  It looks like I either need to do the modification or send it back to Dynon.  I opened it up and it does indeed have the part that is not supposed to be there...

That does sound exactly like my problem. I bought somewhere in the 2007-08 vicinity. Will go to hangar and check and get back to you. Thanks.

Thank you. My ground path for the probe when using the EDC 10A was originally shared with one of the EDC to D180 wires per older Dynon schematics.  My most recent test was with the probe grounded with blue wire to its own pin on the connector per the updated Dynon schematics.  (Sorry, I don't...

Well, it's a year later and I'm back trying to figure this problem out.  Once the weather warmed up last spring, the OAT began to read more accurately, so I kind of gave up out of desparation and for lack of necessity but again this winter it continues to read significantly low.  At about 36F...

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delay. Holidays and life got in the way. My OAT does not appear to change when electrical load changed. Is there any way the probe itself (where it protrudes from the skin) could be grounding itself or does all the grounding occur somewhere in the...

I have a D180 with a "type 2" OAT probe connected via the remote magnetometer.   After moving my OAT probe to under the HS last summer, my OAT was accurate to within 1 degree F of ambient temperature when compared to two other thermometers on the ground.  That's with my correction factor on the...

I just installed some new static ports on the side of my fuselage to address erroneous TAS readings. Do I need to now recalibrate my AOA or does the D180 only use the pressure ports on the pitot tube for AOA calculations? Thanks.

Just an update. Confirmed that it was a transducer issue. I pulled the transducer, tapped on it lightly, sprayed some carb cleaner through it, lightly blowed through it, and reinstalled it. Just put it through 4.1 hobbs hours of flying yesterday and everything works again as it should.

Thanks for your reply. If checking electrical connections doesn't do the trick, will my D180 work with either another floscan or a red cube as a replacement? I've heard that the red cubes are a bit less sensitive to plumbing configurations than the floscan so I thought I might give one a try...

D180 with floscan transducer While flying today I noticed my fuel flow reading zero a few times, sometimes for sustained periods.  When I got back and downloaded my data, I noticed that I was getting those zero readings generally only at low power settings and when my boost pump was off; at...

My question was focused on the one that shows next to % power. That said, I'd love to know more about the one below the EGT graph as well and/or be directed someplace where I can go to learn about what those other indications truly represent. I looked through both my installation and operating...

Hi Walt, sorry for the delay. Yes, I seem to have solved my problem by one of two things: I bled the fuel line to the pressure sender and I exercised the fast-on tabs to the sensor terminals. Thus, it's either possible that an air bubble was causing problems or that I didn't have good...
