I like the suggestion. I'd also like to be able to completely shut it off if desired. One thing to think about is the discussion it might generate by passengers not aware of aviation issues if it pops up. There are things that are legal and even OK that might cause unwarranted concern by...

It is my experience that the FD CT series with it's long, flat tanks, needs considerable attention to yaw in cruise or one tank will drain faster, resulting in imbalance, and one tank can have fuel below the port.

Also wondering.

Current status of any thoughts on a three-axis autopilot?

I'd very much like to have AOA on an HUD. Are there any HUD applications planned?

I took the Dynon Skyview course at Oshkosh and found it very good. Kirk implied that the checklist feature is bubbling closer to the top and may be available in the not too distant feature. He showed us that when a display value is entered, a warning can be popped up. For example, if one has...

I'm joining this discussion late. Do I understand that if there is an odd shaped tank, the Skyview can be programmed to provide the right fuel level reading? I'm toying with the idea of adding a capacitive fuel gauge system to my airplane.

I'm looking at a ream :) of paper documentation for various Dynon products, some of which I will use for frequent reference, some will be used once (hopefully) and then stored and most of which may be superseded. What have you found to be successful in physically handling and managing the...

I have a SkyView that I bought in 2011, upgraded recently, and am just now getting ready to install. I bought an additional SkyView just recently. Can I use the current or modern installation instructions for both or do I need to use the right manual for each?

Is there reference information available that gives information on the electrical and RF frequency characteristics of carbon fiber as used in aircraft such as the Flight Design? My question has to do with VHF and HF comm frequencies, transponders, grounds and so forth. If Dynon has some...

I support a Skyview checklist.

Are the USB ports used for anything besides updates? For example, would a USB connection be how one obtained data logging information? I'm thinking that one per screen might be useful in that case, and I might put one for each screen right on the panel so I could access the data readily.

This is from Wikipedia, so is somewhat suspect, but it summarizes one of my interests in AOA indicators and why I'd thought one in an optimum field of view might be useful. "In takeoff and landing operations from short runways, such as Naval Aircraft Carrier operations and STOL back country...

This looks like the bent type that mounts under the wing. I was asking about the boom pitot tube that projects straightforward, as with the Flight Design planes.

What receiver is used as a socket for the Dynon boom pitot tube?

The jets I flew didn't bank at 30°.

Are you saying that the AP uses 30° bank instead of standard rate of turn?

Mine is an E-LSA so I don't need to talk to Flight Design at all. My plane came with one pitot/aoa boom on the right wing. I will have to either drill a hole into the leading edge of the left wing and mount the normal boom or use the under wing pitot/AOA boom. As I understand what you said...

Any special considerations if I add an additional pitot AOA boom on the left wing of a Flight Design? I will run two independent 10" SkyView systems. Obviously, the two AOA systems will be about 20' apart. It would seem obvious that the two should read as close as possible. I assume each...

I was set on the SV 10", but this whole discussion got me to looking at alternatives and the G3X offers a list capability.
