    ADAHRS Fail

    Update; Tried every suggestion, so far no cause, no remedy. Sent Diagnostic File to Dynon, three weeks ago - no response. So much for that! To end on a good note - so far the ADAHRS problem has not recurred. 😈

    I keep telling you, I am very new to this technology, having just graduated from steam gauges. This coupled with not being in the first flush of youth and the need to partially dismantle my panel, to gain access to the back of the Dynon Skyview, all combines to being a very slow...
