    New LSA rules

    The new rules clear state (paraphrasing) that any aircraft that is currently certificated (experimental, type, etc.) may not be (re)certified under the new ruling. Only new designs may be considered for the new/updated rules. I think a lot of people were expecting to be able to have their...

    AOA Block on HDX empty?!?!

    @bdog I found it in the Dynon Pilot Guide.

    ARINC to GPS 175 shield?

    Most shielded wires are grounded on one end only (keeps noise out) but Garmin requires both ends of CAN bus and serial wire shields to be grounded (keeps noise in). Follow the guidance in the 175 manual. If you purchase the connector kit for the 175, which I recommend, it will provide several...

    Methods for connecting multiple power wires

    It is acceptable to crimp more than one wire in a ring terminal and quite common, especially when daisy chaining power to each CB. Each device should have its own breaker, of course, unless non-essential, like a charger outlet.

    Recommended CB size for ADSB-470/472

    If cost is the issue, install an inline fuse. Sharing a breaker is not a good idea.

    How do you charge the backup battery?

    Any rate of charge must be higher than the voltage of the battery that is being charged. The EFIS logic will not allow the backup battery to charge a a lower rate than documented (unless they changed that logic recently)

    How do you charge the backup battery?

    I did. My response is about the voltage a normal charging system should produce, not the minimum a backup battery needs.

    How do you charge the backup battery?

    If your charger is not showing 13.5-14.5 volts when connected to your battery, it is not charging.

    How do you charge the backup battery?

    The master relay must be on/closed to allow voltage from the main battery to charge the Dynon backup battery. Mine charges fine with the charger on my EarthX battery and one display turned off (Dual HDX in my RV-7A). I don't think it will charge both at the same time, since my CTEK Lithium...

    Skyview HDX WiFi Dongle and ForeFlight

    I don't and had already purchased the Dynon brand before reading here that others had success with others. The forum search should turn those up.

    Backup Battery Charge Low alerts

    12.08 volts is a bit low for the backup battery. Have you tried running a battery test?

    Odd OAT readings.

    This is covered in the installation manual, page 5.15 in Revision AM Sensor Location The SV-OAT-340 is an outside air temperature sensor. In order for it work properly, it must be able to measure air temperature accurately. Avoid exposing the sensor to sources of heat that would interfere with...

    Skyview HDX WiFi Dongle and ForeFlight

    Mine works fine 99% of the time. There are occasions I have to restart FF to get the connection to be seen so I can transfer my flight plan. I blame that on FF, not Dynon. Are you sure it is not a problem with your phone or iPad? Any BT devices in use that may be interfering? (both use 2.4 GHz)

    Skyview HDX WiFi Dongle and ForeFlight

    Yes, many have used non-Dynon WiFi dongles with success. Also, Dynon does not insist you purchase theirs. I'm sure they like it if you do. Compare this functionality to Garmin's at >$1000 for the same functionality.

    EMS Fuel tank calibration

    Depending on your tanks size, the calibration will ask for you to tell it when you have added x number of gallons/liters. Just tell it you added that amount (mine was 2 gallon increments) and fill from there. It'll likely be close enough.
