    Is AOA Real?

    Is the AOA depicted by Dynon a real AOA, as one would expect from a vane input instrument, or is it a inferred or referred AOA based on differences in pitot and static (correction - should read "port") pressure? My bottom line question is can one fly the AOA? In a previous existence, I flew a...

    Map Info Setup HDX

    I'm thinking of how to set up the Map Info column. I understand it is largely personal preference, but am curious to know your setup to see if there are some good layouts I should emulate. My airplane is IFR capable, and I want to support that kind of mission, but I mostly fly VFR on shorter...

    What is this map page symbol?

    I read the "you" as an indefinite person, not the second person. Swatson999 might have phrased it as "we all should..." I didn't see "you" as being aimed at any one specific person. I will concur in the notion that is is a good idea for us all to download and read manual updates.

    Rotax Oil Temp Audio Alert

    I have the audio setup correctly. Rotax 912 Behavior Setting ENGINE TYPE to ROTAX 912 pre-configures some engine settings for a Rotax 912 engine. SkyView will automatically configure and dynamically change the oil temperature and tachometer scales and alert thresholds in accordance with Rotax’s...

    Rotax Oil Temp Audio Alert

    Just installed dual HDX replacing DT1000s. I don't get an audio alert if oil temperature goes into the high red range. (I don't recall if I had audio alert on the DT1000 or not.) I've looked in the HDX Users Guide and in Chapter 12 I believe I see that oil temperature audio alert is possible. I...

    Upgrade from SV to HDX

    I just did my two and found the instruction in the RV8JD post good. One comment. The instructions tell you to add your tail number, but it seems when you back up the settings that is done and you are never offered a screen to enter the tail number. Next time, before I start I'm going to take...

    Skyview Upgrades

    The new screws with the HDX have a hex head. My old ones had Torx on the four corners but the middle screws (I didn't install the Touch panel) were hex head and one of them stripped out so I had to drill the head out and then take the screw out with a vice-grip. I will relieve the nutplate as...

    Skyview Upgrades

    Received my HDX for upgrade today. Am wondering about the new screws to hold the displays to the pane. Instructions say to use the existing top hole (10") and drill new holes for the lower display hole. 1. What are the specifications of the screw that comes with the HDX? Especially, the...

    I agree I'd go direct to Dynon first and Steinair second.

    Refine Electric Trim

    I have a Ray Allen electric elevator trim system and it is a little too coarse. I'd like each button push to initiate a smaller trim step. My friend says his Dynon has the ability to reduce the trim segment. I have a Dynon HDX but no AP Panel. I don't see where I can adjust the size of the...

    External AOA Display?

    Is there an AOA display that can be fed from the Dynon HDX and be located on the glare shield or on the panel where it's easy to see? The Dynon AOA display on the glass panel is too hard to read and too far out of my FOV.

    SkyView HDX Trade-Up Program

    Will the HDX plug into my Touch harness or is rewiring required?

    Seattle Avionics, Airmate, or Nothing?

    I have dual DT1000 and a Garmin GT625. I typically do not use a tablet or pad, just the SkyView. I don't carry VFR charts or IFR LO charts. I'm due to renew my Seattle Avionics subscription and have been unhappy with their download manager. I'm trying to decide if I should stay with Seattle...

    Mounting ADAHRS

    Check the stainless with a magnet - some stainless blends are magnetic, some are not.

    What happens if you use the twin tanks and assign one tank to level on the ground and one to level in the air, ---nah, I'm just funnin'. Couldn't restrain myself.
