Good luck. The most luck I've got with the FAA lately, and it's for a simple pitot tube swap, is a first phone call, and then after that just crickets and no reply to emails, texts, nothing.

Please get someone who knows how to use your AOA system to fly with you and show you, preferably a CFI with AOA knowledge. EVEN BEFORE THAT, research how AOA works because it's not about how many green lines, that would change in gusty winds for example. Have them teach you what each section in...

That's a negative view of the situation. I'm more of a positive thinking person so I see it as Duncan is closer to getting it done than others just sitting around doing nothing or just giving lip service.

BINGO !!! That's what this company did to get the STC. Apparently it's going to take individual companies that work on a specific brand to do it themselves. https://www.duncanaviation.aero/news/duncan-aviation-has-stc-to-install-bendixking-aerocruze-100-autopilot-in-mooney-m20s

You think governors and senators don't have any influence over the FAA? Maybe not up to last year, but now every federal government office does whatever the people on top tell them to do. I guess Dynon might need to allocate some funds, like social media and TV companies use to get what they...

What does it include?

Here's a crazy idea, threaten to move your company to Kansas so you too can be competitive and use the same FAA office that Garmin uses. See how that goes with the governor and senators of the state where that FAA office that Dynon is using is located. I'll bet they'll get on the phone and have...

This right here is the only thing holding many of us back from pulling the trigger on $125k+ two full panel upgrades on the T34. I know that if they just finished the Bonanza line, or even if it's just the T34, many of us in the T34 Association would be doing upgrades, since so many hate that...

Darn, I asked this question 10 days ago and of course today AFTER I order the one twice the price of the other one, I get a reply. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, hopefully someone with a D-180, or maybe even someone from Dynon, will reply with their experience and settings for me to confirm mine. I installed the 496 today.

OK, so 49 views and no replies so I'm going to install a 469 first to see if the autopilot acts better. Hopefully someone will reply soon to help me.

Is there a specific model for my setup? Do I connect it directly to the D-180?

I purchased an RV-8 and it has a FlightDEK-D180 with Super Bright Screen purchased in 2008. I have updated the database to the latest since it still had all the original software. It also has an EDC-D10a Remote Compass, Fuel Flow Transducer, Internal Lon Backup Battery, SV32 (one for pitch and...

Is there a difference when it comes to these two controlling my D180 autopilot? From what I'm reading it might just be the autopilot sensitivity and other settings but I fell it's kind of sloppy. It'll intercept and track a route like the autopilots I had in a multi million helicopter I used...
