Yes on both - and a way to isolate trim power as well - those are all good points.

Dude. If you don't like the autotrim, then don't use it. See a doctor, get some meds.

Indeed, you are correct. Mea Culpa

Well if you're going to blow off the NTSB report, then you're pretty much out in left field all by yourself.

There are two parts to the updates - the Dynon side, and the Seattle Avionics side. Start with a blank, formatted USB stick. Go to the Dynon site and download the latest database update, and drop it into the root directory (not any folder) of the USB. When you insert the USB into your port in...

I know some folks with PhD's that aren't qualified to pour piss out of a boot - so I wouldn't flout the "highly trained" bit too loudly. That is not, in itself, any type of qualifier.

Valid point - I've found ice in my RV on 3 occasions in just over 700 hours - never by choice. Your concern about autotrim in an ice situation is valid, but suggesting that we never use autotrim in IMC because of the possibility of an out-of-trim airplane being handed back to the pilot is simply...

In any airplane built for FIKI, I would agree - but I don't think Dynon systems have been STC'd for any FIKI models, am I wrong?

Knowing how far back the software issue goes may be helpful - but with all due respect, if you duplicated it, you have the case for the software guys.

Agreed, the knob panel can be sacrificed, the AP panel is the priority.

When you add fuel, and the system detects a SMALL change, but not large enough that is above a certain threshold, it gives you a warning that it appears fuel was not added or a change was not detected. Look instead at the reported sensor voltage displayed during the calibration - if that has...

The VP-X will pop on a high instantaneous current, even if the average current it lower. If the pitot heat controller is turning the heat full on (it cycles on and off) then for the first tenth of a second or so the current draw will be much higher while the filament heats up, then will drop...

Unless Dynon has recently changed the spec and construction, there are no shielded conductors in the network cables - only unshielded twisted pairs. I'm referencing HDX installation manual 15.4.7 revision AG, Appendix C pages 23-2 and 23-3, which I believe is the most current.

Preach on, brother.

Actually you only have some of the wires twisted - you wouldn't get proper function with all nine twisted up. There are 4 sets of "twisted pairs" used in the cables, and then there is one straight wire with them - the data and power carriers are the twisted pairs. Twisted pair wire is available...

This last line here - this is the reason. It is said the all the FAA rules are written in blood - it takes blood on the ground to get them to take action. It took the blood of 346 people from the 737max crashes to get the FAA to sit up and pay attention and make sure EVERYbody is playing by the...

It's the liability aspect. They aren't going to fart in the breeze until it's absolute certain that there is no danger. After the 737Max debacle, they are going to be very touchy for a while.

Move the sensors to another cylinder and see if the problem moves with the sensors. If it does not, then I would say you've got a cylinder not firing.

Sorry, your point sailed right over the top of my head and smacked the wall behind me. Yes, the autotrim functionality is already built into the AP button panel, it's just that the autotrim is not yet certified/enabled.

Yes - for the experimental world that is true, I have it in my 9A also - we're discussing certified in this case. It's not yet available for certified installs, since those typically use 3rd-party (non Dynon, and several different types) DC motors to drive the trim tabs, and that whole process...
