Yes, good point, I'll have to agree. The spark advance does change with MAP but it makes sense that only a very high MAP will move the timing back to the minimum. I did do some experimenting last year after reading Mike Busch's article about controlling the combustion event. Here is a screen...

David - way off topic but interested in your thoughts. FYI WOT will bring the spark advance back to 25 BTDC on any EI so it's working like a MAG would. Other than the CHT anomaly on the display it looks like a typical climb out in hot weather from a high elevation. I agree that high CHT and low...

David Toggle switches are a good way to handle binary logic. If you want the alarm to only work when the pump is ON then connect the EMS pin to the pump toggle switch (DPST) so that when the pump is OFF the condition on the EMS pin is always green. When the pump is ON the EMS pin is driven by...

Where is the professional consensus? This forum and the opinions expressed on it are Internet based? are they not? :-?

I should have said 13.5V seems a little low for a 14V system. Internet consensus is 13.8V to 14.2V. Page 9-4 of the install manual states that it may take up to 4 hours to fully charge the backup battery. Good enough reason to go flying again.  :)

13.5V seems a little low. My alternator puts out about 14.4 volts. I'm not sure about the backup battery but to fully charge a 12V lead acid battery you need to raise the voltage to more than 13.8 volts...

You can reduce the cost of the Jeppesen database depending on your mission. Whenever I planned on a cross country (before Skyview) I bought the Jeppesen one time update for my GPS495 for $45. I didn't bother if I was strictly flying locally as things don't change that quickly. You could do the...

NMEA data stream is a one way data flow. There can be several listening devices but only one talker in the NMEA protocol. So one wire (TX) from the NMEA talker device to a listener (RX) device plus a common ground is all that is needed. Anything sent the other way will be ignored.

I replaced my EGT probes shortly after I installed electronic fuel injection. I was running too close to peak EGT (+/- 1600F) and eventually fried them all. I replaced them with better quality (read more expensive) probes and since put over 300 hours on them without any failures. or crimping...

The applications were over writing each others install program. I separated the two applications. Flight Log Application Flight Tour Application The apps will also overwrite the KML file created with the other app with the same log file so you may want to manually rename the KML file that is...

It's nice to have physical knobs dedicated to a task like the SV-KNOB-PANEL and SV-AP-PANEL for things that get constant use. On the other hand they take up a lot of sometimes scarce panel space. We've all become accustom to the touch screen that we have on our smart phones. It would be nice to...

I just noticed that some may be trying to use Open Flight Log under the file menu. Use the Import Dynon Log to import the USER LOG or the BLACK BOX file. This will read the USER LOG file and create a summary of the flights in the file. That summary can be saved and opened. The Dynon USER LOG...

Happy to hear reidvaitor.  :)

Can you guys send me a log file or even a partial one. As long as it has all the columns. I'll check it against the files I have been using. There must be something in the data that I'm not handling properly. Send the files to m.marien at digitalmapping dot sk dot ca Put User Flight log in the...

See the thread noted above.

Not sure why the parser isn't importing the file. A couple of things you can check. Under the Edit -> Options menu make sure the Create Google Earth KML file is checked. The KML file is created in the same directory with the same file name with an extension of KML. Just double click that file...

I guess that makes sense. The screen capture is a rare case as all the other screen captures of the VP-X show the flow to the battery. Looks like nothing gets by you guys. ;)

If you put the shunt between the battery and the rest of the system you will see flow in and out of the battery - Cessna style. If it's between the alternator and the rest of the system you will see the flow from the alternator - always positive. This gives you the most information when you...

Ah - I had the same FAULT trying to install mine. After talking to Dynon support I shipped it back for a replacement. Looks like it's just a bug for us non N number guys. Good to know. The replacement shipped while I was at Sun n Fun so I'll get to install it this week keeping in mind Colin's...

There are three option for placing the AMPS shunt with the VP-X installed shown on page 7-52 of the latest Skyview Install guide. Position A only shows flows from and to the battery (Cessna style) Position B shows the output from the alternator to both battery and the aircraft Position C show...
