My experience is that they turn things around quickly. More time has been sent shipping than in their shop. I haven't had to send in anything for a couple of years though, and now they are full speed ahead on certified installs, so perhaps things have changed. I know they've hired others, so...

I'd suggest then that indeed you have checked everything you can check. Your problem sounds like an issue with the ADAHRS unit itself then. It's not unheard of that the ADAHRS unit fails or malfunctions. One of the planes I used to work on had an ADAHRS failure that appeared erratic at first...

Ok, this has gotten a bit out of control. My original point was, and still is your (Joe)'s comment that he sometimes is unable to power off the units with button 1. In his clarifying here he says the POWER OFF button. I'm assuming that means he's attempting to hold down button 1 for a long...

Raymo said (post #7): It has been stated by Dynon on a number of threads that the screen(s) will remain on battery (if equipped) if power is lost and airspeed is detected. I don't recall the threshold. If the indicated airspeed does not keep the units alive without a countdown when external...

One of us is still confused. Joe, are you turning off the screens using button 1, or by removing external power? They are not the same thing. Nevertheless, using button 1 should ALWAYS turn off the screens. The issue I was responding to was Joe responding to the question about using button 1...

Yes, but did joe lose external power? Turning the screen off using button one is not the same as losing power. It is a direct command to "turn off", which can also be done if you lose power and are on the backup battery. I can't think of a time when I wasn't able to turn off a screen...

That may be something else you should check then. The system should be able to be shut down when flying. I have done it at times to "reset" things. It has never not done it when I needed to. Is it an assumption that it won't shut down sometimes when it thinks you're flying (i.e. airspeed...

Hey, for anyone still wondering about my wondering as to why the Dynon/Advanced guys responded in last weeks webinar to an RV-12 builder asking about equipping their RV-12 for IFR that the ONLY WAY to do it was to register it as an E-AB, I think I have things figured it out. Note, this is still...

Very interesting discussion on what constitutes a major change. I realize the DAR is not the FSDO, but when I received my E-LSA certificate for my plane (converted from an SLSA) he asked what I intended to do now that it was an Experimental. I explained that I planned to add EFI to the engine...

Thanks Marc. Yeah, I think this is a really good point (where is the regulation that prevents?), and seems to be about where my head has evolved to on all of this. Again, another nail head hit square. The keyword here is "approved". Since most approval by the FAA comes in the form of type...

Yes, always good advice. Of course, this advice applies in any aircraft, for any pilot. There's being legal, and then there is being safe. As I stated in my original post, I really only want to be able to fly in light IFR. I'm an experienced IFR pilot and have been in some nasty stuff. I...

Thanks Marc. I did reference that same article by Dan Johnson in my post, though the iteration I referenced was from his website, and your reference was from General Aviation News. Same content though. Dan Johnson does conclude that you can get E-LSA, equip it, and fly IFR and IFR into IMC...

Ok, I read through the latest 8130.2J Order. Chapter 7 deals with issuing an "Experimental Purpose of Operating Light-Sport Aircraft (§ 21.191(i))". I.e., it deals with issuing an E-LSA certificate. I'm keeping in mind that this Order deals with the moment in time that the new certificate is...

Hi everyone. I have been trying to find a definitive answer to what appears to be a common question. Can I equip my E-LSA (recently converted from an SLSA) to fly IFR, and more importantly IFR into IMC. Here's some key info: My Plane already has dual HDX panels, with Dynon AP, Dynon...
