    Calibrating the AoA System

    Absolutely sounds safer. Is there a manufacturer guideline or someone else's POH matching your plane that you can reference for their stall figures? That would at least get you in the ball park for your stall numbers. Don't forget you should be doing these stall calibrations at a high altitude...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    Adding flaps alters a wing's camber, changing the shape of the wing and increases the AoA: https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/2013/10/how-does-lowering-flaps-affect-angle-of-attack/

    Calibrating the AoA System

    I heard an interesting debate that calibrating the AoA with no flaps might give the pilot better warning when performing maneuvers, such as circling tightly over a point, alerting the pilot before a sudden "moose stall" occurs and might be least expected. The flipside being as Carl mentioned, in...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    What is a "full" calibration? I spoke to David at Dynon Tech support this week and he told me these 2 rules for calibrating the AoA system: 1) Every time you perform and SAVE a stall calibration, it over writes and replaces what was in Skyview's memory. Performing more and more stalls and...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    How do most pilots calibrate their Skyview AoA system - with no flaps, partial flaps or full flaps? I have an RV-6 with a new Skyview install and am ready to calibrate. If I calibrate using full flaps, wouldn't the visual & aural AoA indicators be skewed/offset when landing without any flaps or...

    Dynon Layout Schematic for a Vans RV-4

    Correct. Any of the 5 ea. serial ports can be used with any serial device, as long as Skyview is configured properly (baud rates, type of data, (sentence structure, i.e NMEA) parity, etc.) and protocols for each device are set the same (Skyview <-> Garmin GPS). Also - the Skyview serial ports...

    COM-425 Radio Exchange

    Awesome. Page 11-3 of the same Installation Guide confirms the mounting tray dimensions used on the SV-COM-T25 & the SV-XPNDR-261 are identical. Thank you!

    COM-425 Radio Exchange

    Perfect. Do you know where I can find a real-size/full scale drawing of the mounting tray used on the SV-COM-T25? If I had that, I could begin configuring my sub-panel while I wait for the transceiver to arrive. Is it the same tray used for the SV-XPNDER-261?

    COM-425 Radio Exchange

    Thank you for posting this. It does confirm the X25 is superior to the C25, being a digital transceiver vs. analog. Although I'm a bit unsure the X25 will solve my noisy reception issues due to the sentence "This transceiver generally has very good reception performance, but sometimes had poor...

    COM-425 Radio Exchange

    You had issues with your transmissions (Tx-talk) or reception (Rx-listen)? I hear no complaints from others while transmitting, only when I'm receiving. Interesting Dynon had you add an additional ground wire from the SV-INTECOM-2S to the SV-COM-425, as there are already many grounds connecting...

    COM-425 Radio Exchange

    Thanks Marc - I didn't realize the SV-COM-T25 was the Trig replacement Dynon was sending me. After reading your post, I do see the differences outlined in the installation manual. Looks like I am not done with my Skyview installation!
