    GPS

    Hi I am doing the flight testing for our LAA permit issue in UK. I have a GPS 250 and I get a message "GPS lost" but the map page shows the correct position info. I can find a warning "GPS fail" listed in the installation manual. That doesn't seem to apply. Do I just assume the problem is not...

    SFirmware updates

    Hello chaps -I made a mess of updating my system. D1000 shows EFIS & Map D700 showed Engine page. I forgot to download version 16-4 onto D700 after doing D1000. Its been a while since I had to follow this process and I mistakenly thought the Ethernet cable would handle it. I now have red...

    GPU vs. Battery Charger

    I have been using a US made Genius charger when working on my screens on the ground- works fine. On another subject I have problems with a resistive fuel gauge sender. Was surprised to find severe corrosion on the Vans supplied unit in the right wing. This after only 4 hours flight testing in my...

    Testing

    Hello RVyers. I have just started on the flight testing of my RV9. Great day on the first flight much praise to Vans. A few niggles down to me but mainly faultless straight out of the tin. I have issues with the Dynon gear however - voice alerts -can they be turned off selectively. I have a...

    Autopilot installation

    Thanks Carl. I confess to being a Neanderthal in piloting experience having only flown Cubs & Stampes in the past so I I am on a steep learning curve.

    Autopilot installation

    Hi- I am installing in RV9. I finally got thru the calibration and ground based setup routines. I have been asked to get data for the breakout forces in pitch & roll in the event the need arises to overcome the autopilot in flight. I powered up in the hangar (tail down) & pressed the Level...

    Calibration

    RV9 build- pitch & roll servos fitted. I achieved the calibration step some months ago. When, Lateran, I went back to do the settings SV classic said no calibration. I tried to re-calibrate. SV said No roll servo found. I ran the configuration routine and it show'd both SV 32's present &...

    software &settings etc

    Hi I just got my D1000 back from repair. Although well out of warranty Dynon agreed to fix the hardware fault free of charge. It had only been installed never used, but thanks Dynon -Good Company. My question though relates to Set ups / Calibrations - fuel Qty & Autopilot etc. I performed these...

    Dumb pilot

    Thanks I am still in the build stage trying to get ready for 1st flight. I had another try today and succeeded with the initial calibration and test routine (Manual page 10-14) after I had done a network status check that reported both servos were there. There were a few second of...

    Autopilot calibration

    Thanks for the reply. Answer is no I haven't. I have not come across this in the manual. However I read up on the problem & performed a Network status check that showed both servos were there. I then repeated the servo calibration per page 10-14 of the system installation guide. this time it has...
