Every so often I'll start up and get a Wifi Offline message. No pattern to it that I can discern. Normally it seems like the connection is fine and I can get traffic etc. on iFly, but for some reason I'm unable to push flight plans over. It worked early on in Phase I but I haven't been able...

Bump the old thread... I'm not having luck pushing flight plans from iFly to my HDX from a Pixel 10a. I had success last year using different devices, but haven't used it since then. Now when I tell it to share the flight plan, nothing actually shows up on the Skyview. I do get the ADS-B...

RV-7, dual HDX and SDS EFI. 12 years building, wired it all myself with a sweet interconnect board provided by the dealer I bought the system from.

I have the AOA at 100% volume and it's wired to a non-muting input on the Dynon intercom. I agree, the tones are not loud enough during phases of flight where there are folks talking on the radio, stepping on each other, etc. All the other voice alerts come through just fine.

Heh, it helps to read, more negative means tones start earlier (faster IAS)... I went the other way at first and had no tones until very late this morning :D edit: I'm aiming to get the tones starting right around approach speed, maybe even 2-3kt above, so I have an audio reference...

I'll have to check that! I also borrowed a headset from a coworker to run a comparison. We'll see tomorrow morning... update: yep, the sidetone value was set to 5. I reset it to 50 and it's much better. Had no idea that was a setting... Also coworker's headset made no difference (it was...

Correct, only when transmitting on Com. I'm thinking the robot voice is probably bad noise filtering on the headset. I'm going to try both my other identical one and one borrowed from a coworker. The "no sidetone when transmitting" is mainly what I'm wondering about. Everyone says they...

Finally got airborne a week ago and working my way through testing. One annoying bug I've run across relates to comms... I have the Dynon intercom and SV-COM-X25. I can hear radio traffic fine. On the ground my intercom is fine. In the air, I sound like a robot to myself (though I suspect...

Turne out that yes, the wires were swapped at the terminals 🤪 Not quite sure how I managed to put white to red and red to white, but there you go. I'll confirm the temps next engine run.

Started my engine for the first time this past weekend. CHT #4 started at ambient temperature like the other probes, but then started trending negative the warmer the engine got until the other three were in the 180 range and it was reading -25. Eventually it dashed out. Pretty sure today...

Finally have real batteries installed and all sensors hooked up so now I'm trying to finish some setup tasks... it has led to a couple questions... 1. The offset values available are not sufficient for one of them and even after selecting the maximum offset value (8 IIRC) I'm showing a draw of...

Hm. I wonder... Do the connections have to be thermocouple specific or will any old connector work? I have extras of a lot of different ones (weatherpak etc). I could also order some specific ones, or get knife disconnects, or use D-sub pins with heat shrink over the joint...

I somehow managed to misplace the ship-side crimp terminals that are supposed to be used to connect the CHT and EGT probes to the wires. Anyone have a good part number/link where I can buy some more? I usually look on Digi-Key for such things but there are so many choices I don't know if I'd...

I asked Garmin customer service that exact question, because I was trying to find out if there was an internal diode or something allowing power from multiple sources. I think the answer was current carrying ability, not of the wires or connector but of whatever is inside the box (circuit board...

In 2013 the FAA's own Part 23 rewrite committee suggested the "Primary Non-Commercial" category that would allow aircraft over 20 years old to transition to that category, and cited Canada's program as an example of "see, it can work". They included a path back to standard TC configuration...
