I have looked at similar issues before. It might be wortih trying the following: Connect the iPad shield to your audio ground at the intercom, then the intercom common (pin 20) to the same ground. This provides a low impedance ground for the iPad. Otherwise, noise energy in the shield will...

The most foolproof method is to put a diode in series with the input. Anode connected to the SV and the cathode to the gear light. This will block the high voltage and block any parasitic current flowing into the SV that could cause the light to glow when not activated. A common 1N4007...

What vintage are the servos? Dynon had an issue about 3-4 years ago with the servos not communicating with the SV. Vern

Same with me on D1000. Also, Maintenance log has no way to input data. If I hit the cursor button to the left, some weird window pops up. Vern

The cat is out of the bag. Put a 17" LCD monitor in the back seat with an HDMI Connection to an iPhone, running FLTPlan GO. Great for GIB and watching movies! Part of this story is an exaggeration. Vern

Logged as an RV, but really a Harmon Rocket.. SV D-1000 and D1700.

The reason for a circular (or oval) indicator is right in the name 'Horizontal Situation Indicator). It allows you to read course reciprocals directly, plus determine desired headings prior to a turn. Add in multiple Nav bugs, indicators and overlays and it provides all of the information...

Oh well, but i can see why it's hard to move forward if you are always looking backwards. We'll get over it, but a dual-screen trade-up program would be nice.

The 'G' company GPSs automatically pushes the frequencies of the nearest (or flight planned) airport into the standby cache of a compatible radio. No voice command required, just push a button or rotate a knob to select from the cache then push a button. When wired into the SV, the SV will...

Here is a third-party autotrim controller for SkyView: http://makerplane.org/?p=1919 . It actually pre-dates Dynon's offering. It requires no panel space, as the lamp/pushbutton can be mounted anywhere. Full disclosure: I developed this product and it Has been selling for 3 years under...

I have an aft battery, with no access to the terminals, so I installed a 7 A charging port. This is not enough to power up the panel, charge the main battery and charge the SV battery. Consequently, I installed a separate 5A ground power plug, just for the SV. See...

Point 7. You need to connect the two SV's serial ports, GPS power, dimmer and audio signals together. This is straightforward but painstaking wiring issue, particularly as a modification to an existing installation. These connections allow an automatic reversion in the even of a display...

Here is an example of the AXIS-25A version wiring hub. http://www.vx-aviation.com/sprocket/photos/panel_elec/schematics/EFIS.pdf Vrrn

Right. That's why audio mixers exist: try the MakerPlane AMX-4A Or AMX-4B 5- channel stereo mixer. Nevertheless, it may not be advisable to mute critical alarms during radio traffic.... I can just see the TSB report.... "traffic warning alarm was muted by radio communications and the...

This capability is a standard feature on most intercoms and audio panels. Use the 'switched audio' inputs (often used as music inputs). It gives the radio priority and briefly mutes the secondary audio. Of course, be careful what you wish for... you may then miss critical alarms during radio...

Flying a tandem, the takeoff trim position vairies substantial with aft CG vs forward CG. It would be convenient to show a green range rather than a tick mark for this on the trim indicator. Vern

I received my new shear screw and cotter pin form Dynon, thanks! Everything working fine now. My trim indicator is now stable. It's been wonky for a while which indicates that my roll servo may have had a sheared screw for some time. New pre-takeoff control check procedure includes an...

That works for preflight. For in-flight, if you integrate correction steps and account for slips, you can infer the position of the servo shaft and determine that the screw has sheared and raise an alarm. In fact, I can probably put this into my Autotrim controller code.... A symptom of a...

A question for Dynon: is there any way your servos can detect a sheared shear screw? Even as a pre-takeoff checklist procedure... Lock the servos and feel the clutching? I know the AP can be engaged on the ground, but it usually results in running the controls to the stops. Maybe a test mode...

Spec is 4.5 in-lb max, it seemed looser which may have been wear on the plastic washer after the screw let go. I have adjusted the mechanical advantage of my linkage to reduce the torque requirement. However, I have never gotten a slip warning from the servo or even a trim warning so I am not...
