I don't think (but I don't know for sure) that what you want is possible - maybe someone will explain how to do it. HOWEVER, here's a possible workaround. If you divide up that circle into say, 36 segments (a line from 0 to 10 degrees, 10 - 20 degrees, etc.) and make each of those 36 points a...

There are some. I've run into a number. Just be glad you're not using Garmin servos - they have a 1A limit, and if you even get close to 1A, you burn up the servo. Yeesh. For those installs, I use TCW's amplifier - can then use any motor up to 10A, IIRC. I verify the stall current of the trim...

RTFM for both. I believe that it's the "Local Display Menu" where you can tell it that you don't have a backup battery. And many of the voice alerts are configurable, although not all. I believe in the "System Setup" "Audio Setup" menu. Again, in the installation manual.

THIS. I was very pleased to see that there's now a way to take the play in the system into account, although I don't know that the hysteresis is a function of my pitch control system (there's very little play) or a software issue. I've played with the VSI gain to no avail. It'll hold altitude...

Hmmm. Could be. The interesting thing about that, though, is that the refurbished screen has a serial # LOWER than that of the original right hand HDX screen. So was probably MFG'd earlier. Which boot screen do the latest units that currently ship have? If it's in hardware, it would be...

Maybe, but why would changing hardware cause a different boot screen to appear? Boot screens are a programming issue...

So I recently has one of my two 10" HDX screens repaired. I had been running version 15.4.7, but after the repair the firmware was updated to 16.3.2. After installation, I updated my other HDX screen and all the components to 16.3.2 as well. The repaired HDX screen shows a colorful "FlyDynon"...

The installation manual is very clear that the remote magnetometer should be mounted far away from magnetic material, high current wiring, and motors. Putting it on the avionics shelf near the stepper motor in the servo is probably about the worst place in the plane to mount it. As you surmise...

Can you please explain what the problem was and what caused it? Thanks.

ADS-B is based on the transponder altitude, which is PA. Your altimeter setting is whatever the barometric pressure is. There will always be a difference unless the barometric setting is 29.92.

Yes.

Can't address the 2nd question, but the answer to the first question is no. Skyviews can only talk to Skyview servos.

Hmmm. So for $650, I can add a bunch more "A", "B" and "C" inputs (no more serial lines, though), and a bunch more TC's as well. But I can't get a datalog of their values (except for the TC's). Is this a correct interpretation of your statement? Thanks for looking into this further...

That's not correct. I have a Garmin GPS175 (the GPS part of the GNC355) and I can send flight plans from Foreflight on my iPhone/iPad to the 175 via bluetooth, as @Denok indicated. My friend with a GNX375 can do the same. The GNC355 (and the GTN650/750 series) are no different. What I generally...

Thanks. Another addition would be more Serial lines. It doesn't take a lot to use them all up - between the transponder, ADS-B, ELT and GPS-2020, that's 4 out of 5, and if I added the backup GSP250, there'd be none left over for a CO detector, SpO2 monitor, or O2 pressure monitor (and certainly...

So I've got a COZY MKIV with a dual bus electrical system (two alternators, two batteries, based on the AEC Z-14 schematic). At this point, pretty much EVERY input to the EMS-220 is taken up with some sort of sensor except for C37 P11 which I'm holding in reserve for when I get around to...

Charlie - if you look at the flowchart to which you're referring, the box that says "...gradually getting closer" has two exits - one says "yes", the other says "no". Your plane is doing "no". So the fix is to "Decrease Altitude Gain". In a Long-EZ and COZY III in which I recently installed...

Charlie - the magnetometer is the most likely culprit - if it's off by 10 degrees, at the speeds we fly in our canards, that'll give wildly inaccurate wind indications. I'd try both the on-ground and in-air calibrations again. While it's possible that an OAT sender that's off a few degrees will...

Said the same thing on the canard forum - look in the Dynon installation manual - you need to tell the system in the setup EMS screen that you've got a GRT sensor.

How is this different from when dinosaurs got paper plates in a 3 ring binder, got the new changed plates every 28 days, swapped out the old paper ones for the new paper ones, and left the 98% that hadn't changed alone, so that 98% of the plates had dates on them that were old? Seems like the...
