... And thaat is very unlikely....

This device does not require any panel space. http://makerplane.org/?p=1919 I developed it for the SkyView system prior to Dynon's AP introduction. Complete documentation is avalable here: http://54.162.78.90/redmine/documents/45 Cheers, Vern Little

After a lot of teething trouble, I now like what I am seeing with FltPlan GO.  It is the only flight planning app that provides free access to Canadian charts and flight supplement data. I hate paying more for my multiple aviation data subscriptions than engine depreciation.  In my case, in...

OK, here are some videos showing NASA's GCAS.  One of my companies (Iris Dynamics) provided the control-loading flight sim yoke to NASA for the R&D and provided support at Oshkosh. http://youtu.be/_dvugGoPr8w http://youtu.be/Erz4cdRNWZI The point here is that the software could run in the SV...

More flexibility on screen layout and font sizes is a common request.  I struggle with the legibility of my 7 inch sv screen. I find that a 40% map on my 10 inch screen is more legible than a full screen map on the 7 inch, due to the font size. Putting engine info along the bottom or on 5 %...

Just make sure that you make it removable. Mine broke off and was very costly and difficult to replace. Vern

First, sorry for posting this in the wrong forum. I have always had both SkyView units wire-or'd with both TX and RX to the transponder. See http://www.vx-aviation.com/sprocket/photos/panel_elec/schematics/EFIS.pdf However, duh, I now realize that it's the transponder that is not powered up...

I noticed that the xpndr code won't display on my main SkyView screen if the second screen is offline. I can fix this by disconnecting the secondary screen's serial port from the transponder but it kind of defeats the purpose of screen redundancy. I can still enter the code, it just won't...

Not quite, Jake. I developed an autotrim controller that does not require panel mounting. Available from Makerplane, called the M-PWR-2AT. Was actually introduced before the Dynon version was released. http://makerplane.org/?page_id=1915 Admittedly not as tightly integrated as the Dynon...

I have a Garmin Aera connected as a Position source using only one wire. The second wire is not required. For that matter, it's not even required for the Dynon puck (yet). Vern

Comparing the Jepp database on my Aera vs PFMS.... the airspace frequencies in jepp are flat out wrong. In PFMS, they used to be wrong but I worked with them to correct. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to access the information on screen, so I now just use paper charts for freq info. I am...

That's so last year... We want wifi! Vern

Corrected link http://store.makerplane.org/magneto-p-lead-tachometer-signal-stabilizer-p-tach/ Datasheet is available under the documents tab here: http://54.162.78.90/redmine/projects/p-tach Vern

Electronic stability control is just a small step in the direction of elimination of CFIT.  It's just a gimmick IMHO. NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center will be demonstrating it's Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) at Oshkosh this year.  It uses a high resolution terrain database and...

I did the butt splice trick and it solved all of my erratic egt and cht problems. In general, connectors of any kind fwf are failures waiting to happen, but these probes measure millivolts and so it shows up early. Fortunately I put service loops in the wiring so the change was easy. Better...

Ok, thanks for the clarification. One thing to check is control friction.  You can check on the ground, but it may also be necessary to disconnect your roll trim bias springs.   Any friction should be investigated, espectially if there are noticable variations as you move the controls.  Try...

Hi Tom. It looks like your aircraft is out of rig. This means that your roll trim will change with airspeed and flaps position. What could be happening is that the autopilot is running out of trim authority, so when you switch it offline, the aircraft will roll in one direction. This is...

At the very least, provide the equivalent of the serial data streams. I also will repeat my request to be able to send text or binary files from the USB Out the serial ports and now wi-fi to configure external devices. This would have been a huge benefit when I developed my remote AoA...

Ordered a second one from ACS Canada and shuffled my USB ports. Small price to pay for external FP Loading. $60 with shipping. Should have read the manual first. Vern
