Personally, if it’s a nylon fitting like you are using, I would not use anything as the soft nylon should fill the gaps and provide a seal Unless the threads are damaged. If that fitting is leaking i would be looking at the tube going into the fitting being deformed or the sealing olive being...

Loctite 565 should not be used on nylon fittings. I suspect their advice was assumin metal fittings.

Out of interest I downloaded the logs yesterday and there were four user data logs. It had been a couple of months since I last did it. When I downloaded to Savvy there were numerous short 4 or 5 minute entries but they all coincided with turning screen power on for some reason or other I.e...

I occasionally get a second user log but I just download both to savvy and all seems to work ok. This has happened for years now and I don’t think it’s anything new. I usually find if I have not downloaded a file for a while a second one appears. You are going to get an event every time you...

Graham Element 14 is a good source for these sort of connectors from NZ.

Have you discussed this with Dynon? You make no mention of it in you post. They do not monitor this forum continuously so you should contact them directly with your problem.

I also have two screens but learnt a while back that it’s better to only have one powered on during software updates. After I had sorted out the first screen and transponder I powered the screen down and powered up the other. I applied the update and after it had finished it came up with an...

Struck the same problem. Same solution worked for me

Thanks Rhino I have no intention of trolling anybody. I am here to learn as much about the system as possible so I can help the people I support. I don’t think I deserved that comment.

Sorry I just don’t get it. 1. Remove the alternator. 2. Run engine. 3. PROBLEM REMAINS. 4 . Must be a faulty alternator. 5. Replace alternator. if line three said problem goes away that would make sense.

Jake can you explain why removing the alternator and seeing the problem remains points to an alternator fault. Just interested as I would have thought if it was an alternator fault and you removed the alternator the problem would disappear. just interested to know the logic here. Thanks

Are you talking about the AOA warning or a separate stall warning. The RV12 has two different systems one from the AOA sensor and the other from a stall vane in the leading edge. The warning speed inhibit only works on the AOA derived warning as far as I am aware. If you have a stall warning...

unfortunately there is no way to shortcut the calibration process that I am aware of. you don’t say what type of aircraft you have but this is a problem on the RV range where the sensor reaches the top of the tank well before it is full due to the dihedral. I had exactly the same problem when I...

At the moment AvPlan EFB provides both obstacle and navigation databases for NZ. They also provide all the chart and mapping data. OZ runways provides the same info with the exception of the obstacle database that they don’t support at the moment. i use AvPlan and it all seems to work fine and...
