I concur, this is a common issue with TIS in my experience. Some areas seem worse than others, Austin TX is particularly bad.

D'oh! RTFM strikes again...

It's been reported before (and no I don't have the names, just 3rd hand info) that voltage spikes have caused issues with the circuit boards on E/P mags - not necessarily through direct electronic breakdown but through excessive heat development. The OP says the Pmag board was found to be...

Cellphone turned on? I can hear my cellphone transmitting through my Bose X's if I forget to turn it off, the data packet pulses could be mistaken for a Morse-Code like sound.

It's always good to keep a "notes file" of what you're doing with the wiring, because in time you WILL forget! I have a rather lengthy one for my bird so far, it will become part of the POH for maintenance. At each point where I have wire connectors (I prefer the Dsubs) I have on my notes file...

Vern, I can empathize with you on the panel space, but one mans trash is anothers treasure. As I'm building my 9A I knew I would be a bit noseheavy and I've enjoyed being able to move several avionics boxes to a mounting shelf just aft of the elevator autopilot servo behind the baggage...

Can you give us a clue? Are we talking 6 months? 12 months? For those of us building out our panels in that timeframe a little hint would go a long way...

Those are definitely valid points - but I would think it would be relatively simple (and granted, I'm not designing an AP for experimental aviation) to interface with one of the electric trim providers like Ray Allen that include a potentiometer in the trim device for position feedback. With...

Dynon - any plans on interfacing with electric pitch trim devices to keep them in trim automatically instead of having to manually adjust?

I can just hear that now - on non-stalling low airspeed high-G (smack the runway) you get "D'oh!!" in the headset...

Dynon - any update on uncertified UAT RX only recommendations? I already have your transponder installed for ADSB-Out.

Dynon - any plans for a NAV radio, or Comm only at this time? Nevermind - ran across another thread where you said you don't intend to produce a NAV radio. Guess I'll have to find another source for my secondary NAV/COM.

My wishlist, in order of importance: VNAV - autopilot coupling to VNAV guidance from certified IFR GPS or glideslope receiver ADSB weather/traffic Nav/Comm radio Airspeed-hold mode We greatly appreciate the terrific job Dynon is doing in offering a great product to the experimental market -...

And both of these capability changes will be software-driven, assuming a GPS capable of vertical nav such as a 430W?

Yep - same here. I put Jepp in the same pile with Bill Gates, it ain't a good pile to be in.

Bill Gates is Evil Incarnate, we know that - but I would first suspect some software switch on the laptop that is preventing the use of the comm port.

The ARINC-429 converter that will come later after release - is this a hardware module, or a software patch? Also - any plans (I know, I know - "someday" - just askin...) to offer a nav/comm radio module as an add-on to the Skyview?

Groundspeed would only be available with GPS inputs - not all users will have that. True airspeed is also an important number for many higher performance experimental aircraft (like the RV/Lancair/Glassair series) that are capable of high altitude flight and need to keep flutter margins in mind...

So how is that done currently - following a user-programmed descent angle and localizer over fixed waypoints on the ground, for reference only, under VFR?

Will the GPS 250 be WAAS capable? I understand it's not valid for IFR use, just wondering. I'm probably 12-15 months from building my panel - any chance you'll have a nav/comm radio unit to plug into the Skyview by then? ;) If it's not obvious by now - I'm just looking for a decent reason to...
