Anyone know what the voltage output of a TrimAmp will be to my trim motor if I have 24v input to the TrimAmp? Does the TrimAmp only output 12v even if I’m feeding it from a 24v system? Trying to figure out if I need a 12v or 24v trim motor. Thanks.

All, During my last few flights with a dual screen HDX system, I’ve noticed that the audio output from the Dynon is slightly garbled. Has anyone else run into this? I’m not getting any error message and the problem is likely a loose connection somewhere, but thought I’d pose the question...

This issue still isn’t resolved. Once I intercept the glideslope/vertical guidance, the aircraft starts pitch bucking. I’m not sure what to make of it.

I have a Glasair Super II with an HDX, AP panel and auto-trim. My aircraft has a Ray Allen servo controlling a movable tab on the elevator for trim. In general, the AP works great, but I often notice that when I go from fast to slow or slow to fast requiring the Dynon to re-trim the aircraft...

Question: I already have the AP Panel with Auto-Trim enabled in an HDX system. Can someone tell me the additional features I would have if I install a TrimAmp unit in my system?

My Glasair has a larger linear actuator trim motor, so I decided it necessary to install a TrimAmp device. During my avionics upgrade a few months back to all HDX equipment, the TrimAmp wasn’t available, so I had to improvise with a TCW Technologies unit in the meantime. I’ve finally got round...

But here’s another problem, and really my final, known problem with my installation. With the engine not running, If I turn EVERYTHING off. except for the two HDX screens and the intercom, I hear a faint clicking noise and a faint buzzing noise. If I turn the HDX screens off, the noise goes...

UPDATE: So, ultimately this matter was resolved. I’ve been flying my plane for years with the SL30 and never had any significant issue with squelch break. I took the radio to an avionics shop about an hours drive away. He connected it to his bench equipment and within minutes determined that...

Found it.

For what It’s worth, I initially had my TX and RX for the SL30 swapped when I first powered it up. It resulted in a message across the screen that said Com Failure. I don’t think that’s your problem. I still think that there is a sub-menu in the SV that allows you to choose what selections...

Ok guys, I have to fall on my own sword on this one. I had the SL30 wired properly and I knew that the head type had to be set to “None”. Unfortunately, I had selected “None” in the Nav CDI info menu, NOT the main setup menu of the SL30 that is accessed by powering it up while depressing the...

If that’s a SV Touch, you might be able to just touch the (CRS) indicator on the screen and it will change the knob function to (CRS). Worth a try.

Can you not push one of the multi-function knobs on the SV, select (CRS) to then have control of the OBS? If the multi-function knob doesn’t offer the (CRS) selection, it seems like I recall reading that you can select (somewhere in a menu) which options are available when you push the...

Thanks Cwerner. I’ll review the settings in my SL30. I hope that’s the fix!!

Thanks Don. I have trim speed currently set to 100% below 135 kts. I plan to increase trim motor pulse rate to see if that helps the issue.
