RV-8. Finished it in 2011 and have flown it for 1423 hours. Original panel, which I wired and installed, was a once and done for me. When it was time to upgrade the panel I went with a Skyview Advanced Panel. Love the ACM!

I like #3! Consider changing the switch face plates to white lettering on a black background to match the Dynon face plates

I discussed this with Dynon at KOSH last year and was told that "it was on the list". They wouldn't say if it was at the top or the bottom of the list but they did say the request has merit and that it was a feature that was frequently requested.

I eagerly await Dynon's implementation of modifying the flight plan by dragging the route on the screen to the desired position (rubber banding).

How many devices do you have connected to your HDX system? HDX currently only supports 1 WIFI connection. If you have more than one device connected, you will see disconnects. Both my iPhone and iPad will automatically connect to my HDIX system. If I want to use one of these devices in...

This should be added to the Dynon "wish list" of enhancements. The last thing you want to have to deal with is keying in a frequency during a helmet fire.

Design is well balanced and all functions can be easily reached with either hand. Other than preference, I don't see any upside or downside of using either the vertical or horizontal orientation. As others have mentioned, since you are flying right hand stick, left hand throttle, I would keep...

You have the right approach. Keep the Skyview screen as high as possible on the panel. As noted the AP panel provides you auto trim. Also, the AP panel is only functional if you configure the AP for Advanced mode. It is not active in Simplified mode. I don't have the AP panel...

During cold weather operations (below °C) I typically fly with wool fingerless gloves in the cockpit. They allow me to easily work with the SKyview HDX touch screens, panels, knobs and buttons. However, fingerless gloves are not ideal for outside ops such as fueling aircraft, etc...

May or may not be related. (ACM, dual HDX Skyview panel) Upgraded to 17.1. No issues on the first post install flight. Second flight issue: The panel was powered up The flight plan was entered before engine start Engine start resulted in XPNDR and Audio panel circuit faults I reset...

Not an answer to your question but a suggestion that might reduce the occurrences of disconnects. I was surprised to read this thread which quotes Dynon stating that Skyview only supports 1 connection. If two devices are connected then you *will* experience intermittent disconnects. Like...

Heard back from Dynon Tech Support. Not a current feature.

Curious if anyone has found a way to configure an HDX alert so the VSR will alarm when it crosses a predefined threshold. I.E. treat it like a CHT sensor, alert is generated when your VSR exceed 500 FPM. Most EFBs have this function. However, after upgrading my panel to HDX Skyview, I...

Some encouraging news from Dynon Tech Support. I received the following update yesterday.... "We do have engineering working for the System event 20 and 21 bug. They are supposed to have a fix out in version 17.1, which should be out sometime around Oshkosh." Fingers crossed.

Sounds like your system was too unstable to complete the export. If it doesn't complete the export in 5-10 minutes, I would reboot and assume that the diagnostic information was compromised.
