It's more likely you've experienced a wire break.

This can be due to rising or falling air in the atmosphere from localized heating. You can pretty much eliminate this as a factor if you take a test flight early in the morning before the sun has a chance to heat the ground and generate thermals in the atmosphere, or by flying very high...

I see a lot of red flags in your story, most of which are coming from you (the user). I suspect you might benefit from a little more RTFM (Read The F'ing Manual) and a little less drama. Very happy Dynon customer here...

This happened to me on Tuesday afternoon leaving Oshkosh, near Madison WI. I'm going to assume that it was due to FAA computer workload, but man it sure got my attention in that particular situation with all the local traffic. I'm running the latest software on Skyview with the Dynon...

I did the same, I used a small computer CPU fan that draws 300ma and just hung it on the avionics master bus.

I am using capacitive senders in my inboard mains, and floats on the outboard aux tanks - both have a maximum level they will sense, and they will just display a + above that point. My inboards are 18 gallon capacity and they only show "16+" and my outboards are 16 gallons each, they display...

I think the liability aspect of this feature would be troublesome, in that some people would almost certainly use it to establish a pseudo-ILS approach to an airport or private strip that doesn't have one, and has not gone through the FAA procedure to approve that approach as "safe" with the...

That raises an additional question - can all ATC facilities see the tail number if it's broadcast by the airplane? Or only certain facilities?

Stall speed is based on the angle of attack on the wing, which is a function of both speed and load. A simple speed callout like you are requesting will not protect you from an accelerated stall. You would best be served with a genuine AOA sensor.

Software updates to the Dynon screens have been about 5 minutes in my experience, but you do need to have all your Dynon components powered up and online to do it, you can't just run the screen alone on the backup battery.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I've looked fairly well in the Skyview documentation (I thought) and have not found this - is there an info widget for the screen for time to destination or waypoint? I've got fuel at waypoint, but can't find the time to waypoint?

Put a battery charger on it if you are concerned about running it down, it could take 30 minutes or better to do this calibration. Make sure the airplane is in level flight attitude when you do it, as Carl mentioned - that should be the main longerons of the fuselage level, and level side-to-side.

Quick! Document it, and call it a "feature"! 8-)

For the purposes of altimeter setting, anything within the nearest 50 miles is going to be within the margin of error and will be acceptable, I just don't see this being a major issue, perhaps I'm wrong. If the pressure gradient is so steep in your local area that the error within 50 miles is...

Dynon - is this suspected bug limited to the RV-12 software? Or generic to the Skyview family?

Dynon - that's not really the point of the question though. The problem is that the Dynon-equipped aircraft wasn't seeing ANY traffic, and that's a problem. Many people have asked many times for a dual-frequency receiver and Dynon has not made any comment or commitment to going forward with...

There is a long history of RV10's with Dynon autopilots, and I don't see the problems with them that your friend is talking about. Perhaps he just doesn't like Dynon?

Gary, I changed course and went a different direction on this, thanks.

How about a subsection here on the support forums for folks to buy or sell or trade Dynon products they have or want? You certainly have a good number of early adopters looking to upgrade, and there are always new entrants to the market looking to pick up budget equipment. Myself, I'm looking...

Additional to that, the float is usually located at the wing root, and with wing dihedral the float may well be at the top of its movement range before the last pour begins, so it won't register any movement. This is particularly true on the RV series.
