    What are your settings for when the AOA tone starts and when it becomes solid?

    AOA Tone Settings

    I curious where others have set their Angle of Attack Tone Setup menu settings and how they selected their % value? (see attached). My AOA Calibration was performed in level flight - no flaps - throttle pulled to minimum, as I'm wanting the visual AOA Indicator to display when I'm nearing a...

    Displaying Seattle Avionics Plates

    With the screen's zoom function, you can zoom in and enlarge the plate to fill/overfill the screen. As it's a moving map, you'll always know the plane's location from a bird's eye view of the field with the plate markings now larger & easier to read. This will aid navigating around airports with...

    Displaying Seattle Avionics Plates

    Since posting this question, I have been experimenting with the HDX and found it is possible to display a Seattle Avionics Plate full-screen (see picture) using the following procedure: For the Main/Pilot EFIS: 1 - Press INFO, select/enter airport 2 - Touch PLT, touch the plate you want...

    AOA calibration

    Displaying Seattle Avionics Plates

    I am using 2 ea. HDX-800 EFIS screens in my RV-6 - one for PFD and the other for Moving Map/Navigation. Using Seattle Avionics map data, I am able to select a plate for a given airport on the Nav screen but it is always displayed in split screen mode, along with the sectional map. Is there a way...

    G meter

    swatson999 makes a very valid point. But to answer the question, go into SETUP > PFD SETUP > G METER, as shown on the attached screen shot, to adjust the G Meter variables.

    Autopilot panel function

    You should read the HDX Pilots User Guide chapter 8 on Autopilot Operation. Under the heading "Skyview Autopilot Control Panel Operation" on page 8-30: "When SkyView HDX is set for Simplified Controls, the buttons on the AP module are inactive"

    Climbing using IAS

    I think what you are needing is to add the IAS bug to the pop up menu when a button is pushed (opening the BUGS Knob Function Menu). This procedure is explained in section 4-3 of the Pilot's Users Guide.

    GPU vs. Battery Charger

    I understand and can appreciate your perspective. I'm not too concerned with either 100 or even 200mv AC on top of 13.8V DC powering my plane's electrical system. I find doing so while the plane in the hangar is a great way to play, learn and update the avionics without running the battery down...

    GPU vs. Battery Charger

    I haven't measured the AC ripple on this unit's output. I've attached the owner's manual - on the last page it's states 150 mv RMS. The next time I'm at the hangar, I'll do some measuring. I keep my plane's battery on a trickle charger, so I won't be able to measure while drawing close to the...

    GPU vs. Battery Charger

    If you don't need the variable voltage adjust or metering, these 2 items together would be almost half the cost of the MFJ unit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NPT4TK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Where to mount the ADHRS unit

    Correct - which is why the remote magnetometer was mounted in the tail section.

    Where to mount the ADHRS unit

    None that I've noticed. I took great care following the on-ground and in-flight compass calibration procedures as instructed in the Skyview System Installation guide. Note the ADAHRS unit is very well shielded inside a sturdy metal case and mounted to the metal shelf, which is attached to the...

    ADS-B question

    You can also use Flightaware.com to check if your ADS-B was working after your flight - https://flightaware.com/ Type your plane's N number in the white box at the top of the page, hit the Enter key and if your ADS-B Out was working properly, the map will show a trace of your entire route...

    Intermittent Transponder Mode C

    Your deduction regarding the coax & antenna being okay are correct. If either of these components were bad/inoperative, ATC would receive nothing from your transponder. If ATC has reported a partial loss of signal (altitude data), then the problem is from the originating device and not the...

    AoA Calibration

    The Dynon system may not know anything about flap position, but lowering flaps does change the wings camber and stall characteristics. Flaps add more lift, requiring a lower angle of attack to maintain level flight. Adding lift also allows you to increase the angle of attack before a stall...
