    Prop RZpm

    My impression is that this thread is not conducive to people wanting to buy Dynon equipment. It's Dynon's forum and if I were Dynon, I'd be having some offline conversations with some of the posters and I'd reach out to the OP in a more friendly manner. Yes, I ran a very popular national forum...

    drill size bellcranks

    According to the instructions, Dynon has already stated their position. Use #11 unless you have reason to use a different hole diameter consistent with an AN3 bolt. AN3 bolts thread diameter tolerance permits up to 0.189, so a #12 would theoretically work. What do you want Dynon to tell you...

    You note the pitch servo says "or preferred clearance for AN3 bolt). #11 is just a little larger than #12, for whatever difference that makes.

    Panel Planning Help Request

    #3. You want to be able to see the radio screen while you are changing any radio controls, so you don't want your hand in the way, therefore the radio should be vertical if it's being manipulated with the left hand. Plus, you can brace your left pinky on the panel if you are trying to change...

    Panel Planning Help Request

    C'mon, symmetry has nothing to do with this. Sit in the airplane. Pretend you are flying. Go through the motions involved in all stages from start up to departure, cruise, approach and shut down and place the controls and devices where they are most logical. You'll get the flow of that very...

    Panel Planning Help Request

    I have a Rans S-7S with a SkyView HDX but it initially had a Touch. Right or wrong, I gave quite a bit of thought to panel layout. I have no training or experience in panel layout. I designed the panel to hinge so the entire panel falls toward you and lays flat so you have access to the...

    Airport Offset User Waypoint

    I'm assuming there is no navradio or anything else. Well, here's the easy way to do this, although it takes a little extra time. You know the range and bearing from an airport or other fix. From your position, estimate a track that will intercept the desired radial and take you to a point...

    A/P disappeared

    I had a similar problem and found it to be an intermittent where the power wire connected to the circuit breaker. I had separate power wires to the roll and pitch servos, but they were both connected to the same circuit breaker. I had checked the power several times and it was always good...

    What shop time for Classic to HDX upgrade are people seeing?

    Are they going to remove the panel and put new nut plates in? That might take some messing around. I did my own and I drilled the holes and used standard nuts for the new holes, but I was able to reach in the back and didn't have any panel removal issues. I'd bet you could almost use...

    ADAHRS and EMS failure

    In the 70's, I was a line foreman for a firm that made variable resistors. My experience at that time was the Mil-Spec or DESC and commercial resistors were built the same way by the same people using the same materials to the same standards but the DESC were 100% tested while the commercial...

    Caution Backup Battery

    The solution was to turn Reversion Mode to No. After that, the backup battery test proceeded perfectly all the way through. Before I installed 16.7.0, there was no problem with backup battery tests. After 16.7.0, the test would start and appear to run for a few minutes, then I'd get a blank...

    I tried and can't seem to get the battery test to take.

    Caution Backup Battery

    My backup battery failed so I replaced it. I can't seem to get the display to cancel the Caution message. I've flown 6 hours since replacement. I read and believe I followed the manual.

    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    Most recently, I was able to use the AP button to bring up the green AP symbol on the display while on the ground. I shut it off. In the air, the AP button would not work but the AP icon in the display menu worked, as stated above.

    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    Even before the most recent software update, my AP Panel AP switch would sometimes not start the AP. I could invoke it through the menu on the HDX. Once functioning, other buttons on the AP Panel seemed to work normally.

    Version 16.7 software released

    I loaded HDX on one plane the other day no sweat. Loaded it on two HDX on other plane today. Had to download both HDX 10 versions and the system chose the right one on it's own. Both displays hung up after data base load and I had to shut them off and restart. Did this on 16.6, also. Right...
