I thought of that also. The problem is, when I fly the approach by hand I don’t need to re trim. Stick forces are so light it’s not a issue. Just wanted the auto trim to keep up with the small trim force that seem to cause the slip.

I am having a issue when flying an ILS or GPS approach. When I lower gear at FAF I get pitch slip. My question is how do I increase trim speed while autopilot is on. I have the trim setting for below 150 KTS pretty fast now.

My Skyview classic does not annunciate when you are approaching a waypoint. Flight plan is being provided by Garmin 430W. Can’t find anything about turning annunciation on or off. Any ideas?

First flight with version 16. ADSB gosted my airplane as conflicting traffic almost continuously. Any suggestions

I have the same problem. Sometimes it works and auto connects, most of the time it won’t connect or recognize my password. Dynon really needs to address this.

I have had the wrong password notification randomly for 2 years. Sometimes it automatically connects, other times it won’t. When it won’t, no amount of password attempts will get you logged on.

Was watching a Utube vidio on HDX and noticed that they had traffic overlayed on an approach plate. Is this posable with classic Skyview

On a composite airframe the only way the ground plane becomes the counter pose to the antenna element is by the coax shielding which is swaged under the BNC connector feral. This in-turn grounds the base of the antenna when connected to the antenna connector. With the type of transponder...

Thanks For the quick response. I finally found the info in the install manual appendix. Probably should be included in the user manual.

Is there a way to download and then interpret engine data from Skyview. Need the last couple of flight hours to investigate engine problem

Xenon, Don’t take my word for it. Go to the RST website. Jim Weir wrote the book on composite antennas starting with the Rutan vari EZ. People often look at metal airplanes and assume a big ground plane is beneficial. Note how he discuses staying away from multiples of the 5 1/2 inch and...

From Jim Weir ( RST) engineering manual: The MOST IMPORTANT thing to provide the antenna is a good ground plane. This is nothing more than a piece of metal (thickness absolutely not important) cut so that one of the principal dimensions is 51⁄2” and with a 3/8" hole in the center to mount the...

I assume by you picture that this is a composite airplane. The ground plane shown that is rectangular will cause the radiation pattern to be incorrect. It needs to be round or a clipped corner circle so it’s radiation pattern will be equal in all directions. The exact measurements for the...

Make sure your instrument panel is square to centerline.

It would be beneficial to have flap over speed settings for multiple flap settings / air speeds.  My aircraft allows 10 deg. up to 170 kts.   11-40 deg. 120 kts.  Constantly get un wanted warnings
