Dynon, thanks for the reply. The servo was already exchanged under a RMA order two weeks ago when the problem was first discovered. Steve sent an updated s/n and it has since been installed. I do live in south Florida where humidity is a problem and I understand that the armature is very close...

I'M CONCERNED. The pitch servo (SV32) from one flight to the next was found locked in position. The previous flight it was fine; preflight for the next flight one week later reveled a locked servo (and it occurred during a pre-buy inspection too). Thinking something had jammed the elevator, I...

What is "custom engine sensor definition via a custom .SFG file"? By downloading 5.1, will it change my EMS diplay, limit colors, presentation on the Skyview? I do not want to start over. HiGeez

Jake - tell me. "if it's what i think it is then the 'fix' is simple" The 3 hour time change means I have to wait. HiGeez

During the first five or so hours of flight time I was satisfied that my CHT were all normal, actually quite low for a new engine, except CYL # 1 was a little high. Now on a pusher with updraft cooling this shouldn't be so. Number 4 is the hottest. Upon inspection, I found the probes as they...

I noticed today (only because I got a CHT over-temp warning in my headset) that when I key up either com I get an increase varying from 50 to 100 degrees on both the CHT's and EGT's; all other sensors are stable. Only the 8 thermocouple inputs do this. The other 'cowl temp' thermocouple...

Just my opinion but I wouldn't connect the servos with the test cable; they get power, ground and disconnect messages from an independent source. LOOK REAL CLOSE at the D-sub shell. Pull each wire independently and see if it is secure. I solderer my pin connections and some solder escaped from...

Again Dynon, especially Steve:  Thanks again.  I have posted pics of the servo installation for a Cozy Mark IV and I'd be available for any other Cozy builders to explain how I did it. Leave me a message. Happy New Year HiGeez

SOooo, back to the hanger I go determined to solve this dilemma. And low-and-behold; the last pin in a 136 pin search was pushed back, not locked into the d-sub shell. The WHT/GRN secondary data buss wire. It was the wire mounted on the servo and of course during the continuity checks, this plug...

Sorry. Frustration level peaked out yesterday. Plus head cold and I need to fly my hours off. I have no beef with Dynon. I think you have an amazing product. To change out the servos is a time consuming ordeal of a mechanical nature. But if necessary, I will. The one servo, #2983 was a...

OK, again today, with another set of eyes, we checked all pin-to-pin, wire color-to-color and inspected each D-sub for pin push-outs. No problems found. In Network Status page on the left SV (some info here: s/n 2004, an * next to s/n, has map license code and is 18 months newer than the right...

Yes again. But being an avionics tech I didn't think this 9 pin d-sub process was over my head. We used the 'supplied' Dynon test cable that came with the SkyWiew to eliminate any possible wiring anomalies and there was no change. Many times we did a pin-to-pin check over the whole run and at...

Yes. Actually I have been fighting this for a month of Sundays. Network Config with all possibilities. When I called tech support they said wait until 5.0 comes out. Same problem. The roll servo #2983 was the problem child since new. the pitch servo #2984 was never the problem. Now, with the...

With the right 10" EFIS on, 2 servos calibrated, all normal NETWORK and SERVO page indication until I turn on the right 10" EFIS. Then the roll servo drops out -OFFLINE. Roll error in red on the left PDF display. When I reverse this, Right screen on alone, configure- all hardware detected. Turn...

Thnax jakej. I was hoping to eliminate having to undo 16 spade connectors with two (already on hand) 8 connector Molex plugs during and engine mount pull. Reading in the "AeroElectric Connection" each spade must be a crimpable terminal of the proper alloys. Or you can purchase a pug designed...
