I'm trying not to

2 things Chris, 1. I was trying to leave you with the last word in order for this to kind of die an overdue death. 2. it does appear as if you've learned something even if it was in criticizing my post! well done! lol

Thanks for the replies, I'll give those links a look.

<<insert face palm here>>

Hi all, It's been an interesting and unexpected side effect of thrashing with all y'all, I've grown to have more appreciation for the light weight, reliable, and inexpensive fuse! But with so many automotive grade or worse products out there, what is a good quality inline fuse holder for an...

An offline configurator for the engine pages would be super helpful as well.

Keep telling yourself that, maybe it'll make you feel better. I've been getting PM's from people saying thank you for addressing the RTFM problem. If you're bored, go somewhere else but don't be rude to people that are asking for help at the place where the manufacturer sends them.

When I went looking for info at EI's site I only found their brief tech document that wasn't very helpful. It's generally straightforward with a single sensor to tweak the K value over the course of a few flights but the return sensor doesn't lend itself to that procedure which is where all of...

Repeating the most general thing you can say about it over and over doesn't change that you really didn't help the OP. I don't get being proud that Dynon directs their customers to come here for help and you are openly rude to them, unless maybe you are 16 yrs old. 🤔

they're clearly not. one is calibrated with an initial best guess and then tweaked by flying and manually recording actual fuel consumption and comparing it to calculated. The return can only be calibrated on the ground with a bench or lab approach that isn't published in the manuals. But...

Chris, it looks more and more like you simply didn't know how to calibrate the return sensor and so had no choice but to be obtuse and not actually helpful. But you keep pretending you knew it all along. As I've said earlier, the three or four of you that think this forum is your personal...

someone please make it stop 😭 😭😭

See figure 4 midway down the page https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/builderresources/while-youre-building/building-articles/electrical/wire-installation-practices Not an official source of info but it's a generally accepted practice. I put the two power wires for each display into one...

Another great contribution to the community. Bravo

Avionics are fun to talk about once in a while I guess but what's everybody got their Dynon stuff in? I picked this up last May, it had Dynon Skyview Classic 7" and 10" displays in it with the comm, transponder, ads-b, ahrs, intercom, and gps antenna components. The airplane sat idle for...

RV-12 being an LSA, weight is probably the determining factor is using fuses if I had to guess. Inspecting systems prior to flight is part of running a reliable operation. If we waited until after engine start to see what systems are not functioning properly we'd have a lot more delays and...

I understand everything you said but I'd be curious to hear what another engineer, with a preference for CB's, would have to say about it. I'm not really qualified to counter your argument but I know for sure, fuses aren't in use in any of the new aircraft I've seen. By your argument that...

for a system with a one per million failure rate, the life of a CB in a general aviation aircraft flying forty hours per year is adequately safe. "safer" isn't measurable in a meaningful way at that point. My background is ME and a line pilot for the last 29 years. The safety of a fuse would...

It seems to me the aviation industry has weighed that data and has universally opted for CB's. Fuses also don't give an immediate indication that they've failed so a simple scan of a fuse panel doesn't provide the insight that a CB panel gives in the pre-flight routine. Looking through the...

I can say the same thing about you sir Social media isn't for everyone.
