    Skyview Wish List

    You mean like this? It's already there on the HDX, just not the classic.

    Upgrade Skyview Touch to HDX?

    I replaced my 10" Classics with HDX in my RV, it was a simple change out and no regrets. I really like the new form factor on the HDX with the finger "anchor-points" around the edges for work in turbulence.

    heading creep

    Level mode does not track a heading - it simply keeps the wings level and a constant altitude. If the airplane is turning slightly with the wings level, that indicates that the rudder trim is not exactly dead-on, which is not unusual. If your heading is only creeping a couple of degrees per...

    Anyone Tried ChartData Manager 6.6.0.2?

    I was one of the beta testers for 6.6.0.2, and it is considerably faster for the downloads to the USB sticks, at least using USB 3.1 sticks. One other "feature" of the new software also comes with a bug that has not yet been fixed. For Dynon users, the program will automatically download the...

    D10A and D10EMS differing voltages

    You've got some voltage drops (likely poor connections) some where in your system, and you are sensing voltage at different points for different devices. Time for wire chasing and connection cleanup, that's always fun.

    Autopilot Wiring Planning

    The backup battery will also power the EMS, so you keep all your engine instrumentation.

    Autopilot Wiring Planning

    The hub is not intended for power/ground use on the servo's. You'll need to split out the power and ground separately from the DB9 connectors, pin 2 for ground and pin 7 for power. See section 10 of the installation manual. Pin 3 should also be split out separately and combined with the other...

    Dynon Nav Data Update

    The basemap file only needs to be installed once - it is very rarely updated. The current version is from 2013. Once you load that into the HDX you don't need to keep it on the USB, and don't need to load it again unless the basemap gets updated. The 16.0.8 software update, likewise - once you...

    Trouble with Seattle Avionics DataManager.... again....

    The new vaporware from SA has been released to a few beta-testers, myself included. Overall I don't see much change except they fixed a bug that was granting access to FlyQ users to all other types of data - so they were only covering their own butt revenue-wise on this software change. There...

    Wiring trim to autopilot?

    And a big safety bonus with that, is that the autopilot will never hand you an aircraft that is significantly out-of-trim and surprise you with high stick forces. Think about having the AP fly an IFR approach down to minimums - then you break out at 200 feet and kill the autopilot to hand-fly...

    GPS-VLOC Auto switch

    Trouble with Seattle Avionics DataManager.... again....

    Same here - for myself and Bill Repucci, we are both long time beta testers. Volunteered for it, were told we would be contacted "next week" and now two months later, crickets.... I have been vocal in the past about the bleeding abortion that the current SA software is. I would dearly love to...

    MPG Widget

    And yet, when you use it everyday (or at least more days than not), it all seems perfectly comfortable.

    MPG Widget

    As mentioned, this is a groundspeed referenced number, but still handy to have in flight. See my bottom right corner. The range you see there is not incorrect, I have long range tanks with 68 total gallons on my RV-9A.

    Trouble with Seattle Avionics DataManager.... again....

    You are obviously a Seattle Avionice fanboy intent on spreading the glory - care to tell us what position you hold within their company?
