There is another thread that discusses the backup battery. dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1434929885 From that I believe it takes a few hours to charge the backup battery. One of the solutions was to connect a battery charger to the airplane battery and turn on Skyview to charge...

Hmmm. That's pretty aggressive antivirus software. My program is created with Microsoft Visual Studio C# Express so it should be clean of any viruses. My system is clean. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. Definitions are jan.31.2016 Can you whitelist Setup.exe? The only other thing I can...

I gave the Excel spreadsheet a try but not that familiar with Excel so came up with a CheckList Editor I put together with Visual Studio. It reads checklist format and outputs in UTF-8. It renumbers the entire file on output so changes to the file are automatically renumbered. The sections can...

I was excited to see checklists in version 14 so I took to opportunity of the warmer weather to pull my plane out of the snow bank and scrap the frost off Skyview to update to ver 14 and install some checklists. I just used my old checklist that I had in Word and pasted it into the sample...

The iPad with cellular data service has a GPS device built in so you don't need an external GPS source. You also don't need the cellular data SIM card installed or purchase a cellular data plan. The iPad GPS works without a SIM card. Worth the extra cost of the iPad with cellular data as you...

The fuel range ring is a nice idea but would it be useful? We have the Range Info item. Zooming out until the distance circle approximately equals the Range would be the same as the fuel range ring. I went through my screen shots for 2014 and 2015. In most the distance circle is 12, 20 or 30nm...

One way to determine which calibration file is loaded would to have something different in your ENGINE page. Different names in the pin definition of the EMS section of the SETTINGS FILE. Instead of LEFT and RIGHT for the fuel gauges have MOLEFT, MORIGHT or AVLEFT, AVRIGHT. Or just have...

Never reached an upper limit, but OAT doesn't work between September and May here ;D ;D

I used my thumb to bend them into a 90 with a 1+/- inch radius. No better tools than your hands sometimes. ;) If not this type of fittings works well for pitot/static lines. https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/avpages/averyefistoolkit.php?clickkey=32397

Yadda yadda yadda. Geez Vern. We've been through this a million times. I spent a lot of effort comparing the Skyview system to other systems that were available. One of the main determining factors for choosing Skyview was the aesthetics. Everything about it looked good, especially the...

From the manual: Seems to me this would indicate that if I pitch up, and hold altitude, the display would indicate the altitude hold and not the pitch up would it not? or as Dynon stated above, pitching up and sinking would indicate the sink and not the pitch up.  I don't think this is...

Might be wrong but isn't HITS just a different variation of the Flight Director?

They do in a sense. If you have an ohm setting on your multi meter you can see whats happening. Set the meter to ohms and touch the contacts together. You should get a reading of 1.0. Connect the meter contacts to any two wire resistance type sensor, fuel/EGT/CHT/oil temperature and you will get...

I think he means draining a measured amount of fuel and see if the gauge reflects what you have drained. If you had 10 gals in the tank, does the gauge show two if you drain eight. How you drain it doesn't matter. You just want to make sure the gauge accurately shows what is in the tank. :)

Not sure about question one, but any EMS general purpose "A" wire can probably be used for the battery fault. See table 16 in the Skyview Installation Manual. A fault usually pulls the wire to ground which is exactly the way EMS contacts work. I used a contact for the fault wire on my EFII ECU...

Connecting to a Skyview contact to get an alarm is nice, but having a CO2 ppm gauge would be more useful.

I left a loop at the EMS. It's about four or five inches in diameter. I think this is recommended for strain relief. Jake may chime in here on that. I also put a slight bend in a at least one of sensors at the exhaust. This was from poor planning. I wanted the sensors to point inside the...

Bundling the probe wires is Ok, but I think P-Mag suggests separating the spark plug wires. Unlike mag wires, there is a lot more power going through the electronic ignition spark plug wires and there is a chance they will short through the insulation. Automotive spark plug wires are normally...

The Skyview network cable uses all nine wires so it's not possible to use any wires for the servo power and ground. You can connect the ADAHRS and the servos to the network hub in the back and run a single network cable from the hub to Skyview. However you will have to break out the three wires...

I do agree that the plane should be adjusted to fly straight and level but with a small plane the weight distribution can make a big difference. My Glasair II is heavy on the left when I'm solo. It's fine with a passenger. Since I fly 50% of the time solo the AP holds the left wing up quite a...
