Sorry Rhino - not quite true re the Jabiru - I have done a few a/pilot (Dynon & Trio) installs into the “Jabbies” using pushrods. However the jabby is unique re the elevator & pitch trim - Elevator actuation is via heavy duty push/ pull cable. Trim is similar & moves in unison with the Elevator...

This !

“Afaik- the PMA’d Plane Power Alternators do not have the ‘issues’” - I’ll have to talk to the LAME who told me this 🤣🤣. How did/does a company get away with this ? & Private Equity entities just makes it worse 🙄.

Afaik- the PMA’d Plane Power Alternators do not have the ‘issues’ that the Experimental AL12-E160 has. A ‘search’ will find the common faults associated with the (Experimental) E-160. You could try to fix these- Stator wiring breaks. Regulator fails. Bearings spinning in the case. & the...

Hi Michel, I have sent you a DM.

“That means, if I change the GPS receiver to the GPS-2020 and configure the Skyview to SIL3 I will be able to comply with the demand of ADS-B Out on 1090mhz? That would be a rather easy install.” In a word - yes. I’d add a SV-ADSB-472 to give you ADSB traffic IN as well 😉

“ I have no experience with the Aerocruze - I’ll read the manual in next day or two. The main difference to me anyway is there are no shear screws, unlike several other a/pilot servos - for IFR i don’t need a simple breakable screw spoiling my day. 😉

No confusion for me. Read the Trio Pro Pilot manual - it has a wiring diagram for the Dynon interface as well as ‘others’. See Chapter 14, page 80 & the NOTE: the a/pilot must be in the CRS mode so that the remote ( eg Dynon) equipment can control the a/pilot in course or heading. Again, read...

RTM 😉 - the necessary info is available 🙂.

I agree with Airguy, my ‘short circuit’ incident suddenly manifested itself , after 18 years, with the Aternator ‘B’ wire massively shorting out & cut through #1cyl temp probe. 😳. I had not noticed the wear on the snap bush as it was also ‘protected’ , I thought, by some high temp silicone for...

Did you buy the ‘new’ sensor from Dynon? If not did you make sure it’s exactly the same unit? Checked that the setting for the unit is as it should be? You could contact Dynon support too😉.

Per Rhino -“Try disconnecting the ground from the audio mixer. Both Dynon and Flight Data Systems tell you to only have it connected at one end, and presumably it's connected at the Skyview end.” The general principle here is to have ALL your audio grounds at one place, I use a ‘Forrest of...

IF any of them dares to fail you can always look out the window 😄🤣.

FYI, & AFAIK, the 2020 antenna will not be suitable for the FD&E (satellite fault detection & exclusion) required for RNAV/V approaches. However all is not lost as you could use it as a ‘backup’ gps if you have a spare serial port, or sell it. I consider they, the SV-2020 gps would command a...

No worries, I can tell where you’re by your accent - btw that is on your bio 🤣🤣.
