AlanR, per Airguy's suggestion, do not put a standard battery charger on the lithium battery! Only use the special charger provided with the batter (I assume you received one). The battery will accept an alternator charge through a voltage regulator, or you can use a regulated DC supply...

Posted this on a previous thread, but worth doing again here.  I have had a lot of problems with the thermocouples!!!!  Some, with what I think is poor quality of the actual thermocouple, and others with poor connections using the spade connectors.  Working in the pharmaceutical manufacturing...

Thought I might add a few comments here. If at all possible, get a simple CAD program that can format in .dwg. or .dxf format. It's not always simple, but learning basic 2-D drawing for a panel is not too hard. There is a free CAD program that is exactly like AutoCad offered by ProgeCAD, for...

For those of you with plastic airplanes, you might look at the Advanced Aircraft Electronics (http://www.advancedaircraft.com/index.htm) transponder antenna. It is $99, but seems to work OK for transponder use in my plane. I have set one up in my wingtip for ADSB, but have not yet had a chance...

Do you still need insert info? I have the starter switch panel and CB panel on AutoCad. It is for a Glasair panel, but they should be the same.

Vern - should one wait to buy the shaker until after ASTM review, or are you confident of the product? Thanks!

Not sure of the quality, effectiveness, or reliability of this, but there is a low-cost stick shaker that is supposed to work with Dynon. Can be found at http://store.makerplane.org/swzl-1-stick-shaker/ Any thoughts from the experts?

Dynon- I received my new pitot tube, but as mentioned in previous posts, I have different connectors on the new PT that are not compatible with my old controller. Unfortunately, I have already tossed the connectors that I cut off my old PT, so I can't use the old connectors. My controller S/N...

If indeed there is some utility in using the the trim circuit for flap control, and as Vern has said, you can't drive the flap motor directly off the trim circuit. However, I would avoid anything related to automotive in regard to electronics. Take a look at www.aircraftextras.com. They have...

Also having issues. Tried for 4 days to download files manually to my Mac, but finally gave up and borrowed a PC to use the SA download manager. I see airpot diagrams now, but nothing in LAYERS, no VFR maps. I have retried the downloads several times. :(

Got this info from Dynon several years ago.  They recommended a vendor located at the web site  http://frontx.com. ; I bought the dual P108 connector for about $15 on their webstore.  It was a very nice install after waterjet cutting my panel.  You can also get the P1011 single.  They are...

Everything on my data card looks OK, but I am verifying with SA as I have a Mac and had to do a manual download. I understand your reply, but did not get an answer to my basic question... does the ADAHRS have to be connected to the system to see the MAP files? I have GPS and all the...

Randall, If at all possible, find a friend or someone who can do AutoCad, and send the file to water jet. I do my own AutoCad (not very well, but good enough) and have re-done all my panel inserts 3 or 4 times as the Dynon, or other, equipment changes. The fit has been perfect for everything...

Quick question. Does the ADAHRS need to be active to view the Seattle Avionics Maps/Diagrams? I just downloaded their software, but nothing comes up on the display when I plug my memory stick into the USB port. I am working on panel wiring at home while the ADAHRS is still with the plane. I...

Quick question. I am still building my airplane and have not updated my software for awhile. Can I skip right to the latest version, or is there a requirement to sequentially load updated versions?

Brian - Take a look at the Monroy unit: http://www.monroyaero.com/index.html You can use their external antenna and mount the display in the panel using minimal space. Their data output is also supposed to be compatible with Dynon, but check that out carefully before buying.

You indicate the EFIs will accept a Garmin TIS format input such as with the Zaon traffic module.  Do you know if the Monroy Traffic Watch+ is compatible with the Skyview, and if so, is that just a serial connection? :-?

To Dynon: Will the traffic information you have forecast for future development be display data from a third party receiver, or will you have your own system? Will you be able to provide ADSB?
