    Dual COM radios question

    The only difference between radio one and radio two if they are Dynon, is pushing the APT>COM button on the HDX will load the airport into the prmary radio so if you then push the TWR/GND etc button on that radio panel it loads that frequency into the standby position on the primary radio. To...

    ADS-B Traffic dropouts with 17.3 HDX Update

    It does say it's safe to reboot, but the screen goes blank and you're sitting there wondering what to do. Eventually, I remove power and reboot as usual. Then it starts another load process, after which it again says ok to reboot. This time the system seems to load normally. Same on older...

    Seattle Avionics ChartData file issues

    I am totally confused. I have HDX on one plane that is flown VFR and two (2) HDX on another plane that is IFR capable. I've always downloaded the Seattle files on three USB and also, separately, the Dynon obstacle files from the Dynon site for addition to the same three USB. (I get IFR data...

    SkyView Units Question (metric vs US) and Coolant and Airbox question

    The Rotax has two EGT sensors. At least, the ones I'm familiar with. Just one coolant sensor? I'm used to seeing two. (Actually, on mine, I added a coolant sensor and kept two cylinder head sensors.) Fair amount of redundancy (fuel, time, tach, etc.) I see althitude is in feet. It looks...

    Map Info Setup HDX

    I have a 10" Dynon Skyview HDX and a Garmin GTN625. If I load a flight plan into the Dynon, appropriate data will display on the Map Info column. If I load the same flight plan into the Garmin and then select Garmin as the feed source, the data will display on the GTN625 but will not display...

    OSH '25 news?

    Trig has 9 memories, I believe I was told, and I would find that useful.

    Rotax Oil Pressure Sensor

    I don't have an answer for you, but would ask Brett Lawton of Advanced Powerplant. He'll be at Oshkosh so it may be too late to get him before he returns.

    Float Plane Yaw

    My S7-S has Dynon AP pitch and roll and it flies fine. Mine hunts a bit on altitude, but I have never recalibrated that, and a friend with a similarly equipped S20 has minimized hunting in his, so it's probably possible if I'd only do it.

    Skyview Wish List

    Those other numbers (Vx, Vy, Xa,) are under set conditions, such as full gross weight, standard atmospheric conditions, etc. When you record your plane's numbers, you might want to be sure to include the parameters under which they obtained.

    Altitude Information for Navigation

    I fly to several unregistered airports. I add them as User Waypoints. There is a data entry for altitude in the User Waypoint construction box, but the HDX manual says altitutide in that database is informational, not used for navigation. HDX manual ed P 5-65. Therefore, it does not show up...

    Servos Offline

    Sounds similar to my experience, which is reported here and you probably read about. In my case, both servo power wires terminated in one ring connector and that termination in the ring connector failed, although physically it looked fine. It drove me nuts finding the problem. Eventually, it...

    Audio Panel

    Thanks for all the helpful input. I'll definitely review all this before I make a final decision. When I decide and execute it, I'll update. My date now is after Oshkosh, where I'll possibly review some of this along with some other considerations, such as how to cut design, layout and cut...

    Audio Panel

    To be honest, I don't even have the back seat in and don't expect to ever fly with a second person, but don't want to totally exclude the possibility if I sell the airplane. I'd try to put the RX switches in the upper left hand corner, and I'd engage them with my left hand. I have room behind...

    Audio Panel

    I find that Dynon has a good solution. The SV-INTERCOM-2S I have serves as both an audio panel and intercom. I need to find room for one SV-COM-PANEL which I think I can do if I move one small appliance. Then I use a SPDT toggle to choose TX 1 or 2 and either the volum knobs on the...
