I managed to work it out through the forum. The main mistake I made was on the 696 I set only NMEA Out/In with normal BAUD rate but in this setting the BAUD rate drops to 4800 (even as set as Normal). So I set the 696 to In/NMEA & VHF Out with Normal. The Skyview settings were as above. This is...

Hello I had GPS data from my Garmin 696 feed into my Dynon Skyview which allowed me to fly a route on the autopilot. The GPS data was also used to fly a trach on my autopilot. On a recent flight I noticed that the data from the 696 is no longer showing on my Skyview screen and I could not use...

Hello For years my EGT and CHT readings have been fine. Yes, I had to replace a burned-out EGT probe a couple of years ago, but that is it. Recently I started to see fluctuating CHT readings and fluctuating EGT readings followed swiftly. This is on one cylinder only. With fluctuating I mean...

Hello I have set the min and max airspeeds when I configured the Skyview system. If I fly on A/P (simplified controls) and set the vertical climb speed at its maximum, would the autopilot actually let the aircraft decelerate to the min airspeed set (30% of VS1?) assuming I don't change the...

Agreed! No intention to move it, but the rules in Europe are a bit different in that you can't apply mods without them being scrutinised...

Hello I bought an RV8 that was already built and found that the Dynon roll servo was connected using a tru-trak center section mounting kit, rather than the servo being mounted in the wing, as per Dynon's roll servo installation manual. I have attached a photo showing the set-up. Does anyone...

Hello I have recently completed a panel upgrade which required some new tubing. Now when I start my Skyview system, the PFD is immediately indicating an Indicated Air Speed of 22 kts, even though the aircraft is stationary. Do I need to reset something or..? Thanks Roger
