    VNAV

    Does it really need to be that complex to set up? Way more trouble than it is worth. Hopefully you don't mean slow to stall speed, "upon glide path capture, slow to Vso" Vs0 is defined to be stall speed in the landing configuration. Normally, 1.3 * VS0 is used on final after ceasing all...

    SV-261 Static System Test Mode

    Rhino, What is “user static testing”, “local system test” or “built-in static test”? The OP definitely mentioned static system testing. I think he meant the required 2 year test for IFR, the UUT. That is 91.411 and definitely requires that the transponder output the same data as the source...

    Any Lycoming IO-540 Drivers With A FLOSCAN 201B Out There???

    Everyone should calibrate this way before you fly, because it will be accurate the first time and you waste no fuel (assuming you have one flow measurement device and you are an injected engine with the device mounted after the metering of fuel (ie. just before it goes to the "spider": 1. Go...

    SV320 Back up battery

    If you want the power to both screens backed up, you have to have two batteries. Hard to say what others do, but both mine are backed up.

    Loading a Photo or custom chart/plate

    Chris C and Dynon, Would one of these altered charts still geo-reference A/C position, assuming it geo- referenced before alteration? Would that answer change if the chart was "new", that is, not in the original database? I ask, because, where we live, we have a "private" approach. This...

    AOA subsystem

    In theory, yes. The difficulty is "How do you calibrate yours?" Whatever you install, you have no way to compare the output of your installation to what the Dynon AOA tube would have produced if it had been installed. The Dynon pitot and AOA openings are located relatively far below where the...

    Static Electricity Discharge Concerns In Fiberglass Aircraft

    RVDan, I don't disagree with your last post. Most of it agrees with mine. I was responding to your "The static wicks need to be attached to the trailing edge of the flight surfaces" from your prior post. Your latest doesn't really tell Dynon101 what he can do with his non-conductive airframe...

    Static Electricity Discharge Concerns In Fiberglass Aircraft

    If the aircraft skins are truly fiberglass (eg. not carbon or anything else conductive), static wicks will not do anything. The P-static charge on the non-conductive skin does not "flow" in any conventional sense, it simply mills around without reason until the charge voltage is high enough to...

    Pirch Trim Indicator running in reverse

    Galin is correct. Trim nose up and the indicator goes up. Mine has been that way for many years.

    SV Touch Boot Error

    Jim, That's what I have, because a 10" would not fit. Wish I could fit the 10" because the 7" is almost unuseable over in front of the pax.

    SV Touch Boot Error

    Jim, You said "This is a case where having dual SV's wouldn't have helped. Since the primary SV couldn't boot up, the EMS data couldn't be displayed on a 2nd unit, since EMS data only comes into the primary unit if my understanding is correct." Actually, a 2nd SV would have functioned just fine...

    Hardware/software required for autopilot

    About the servo install. Be sure that the brackets are very rigid so that the servo does not move at all when it attempts to move the flight control. If the servo wiggles around at all, then the A/C will hunt.

    Check Gear Audio Warning

    FEATURE REQUEST: Make the "Check Gear" audio call out repeatedly once triggered. Make it every "N" seconds or "M" knots slower, at first, and then more urgently as the aircraft continues to slow down, with the gear still not down and locked.
