    Uncommanded turns

    I have had two un-commanded turns this week, and also a dive. This could be turbulence induced some how, as it was a bit bumpy at the time, but rather concerning. I will email a data file to Lawrence, but this may need some serious examination. :-?

    Emag Temperature Monitoring

    If the EMAG data is available internally, even not accurately, it will be far better than a thermocouple stuck on the case as you have said, but the OP asked about displaying it in his D180, so I guess there is not much of a compromise. Is this in the cruise or in the climb at takeoff? Using a...

    Emag Temperature Monitoring

    First thing to do is solve your "runs on the hot side" matters. For a start, and I openly declare, I am not a fan of any of the currently available EI systems, I can go on for ages about why but that is not the topic here now. So first of all, make sure the timing is on the most conservative...

    D180 display: What causes ROP to shift to LOP

    Hey mine works pretty well, it a bit vague in the peak indication but heck I really am splitting hairs there. I am interested in knowing how you are tweaking for different compression ratio's. It has been a few years since I set ours up, but I do not recall the fields having any adjusting...

    D180 display: What causes ROP to shift to LOP

    9:1 pistons will screw up the tables a bit. Ignore the ROP/PK/LOP indicator and just use the EGT readings as you would on a JPI or others. HP when LOP your HP can be calculated by 15.47HP per USG of fuel flow. When ROP either don't worry about being super accurate as a few % points dont...

    Uncommanded turns

    Was not referring to the ARINC, but I agree both ends and ours are.... DSAB was my thoughts as some folk see this with RS232 GPS and I have had it from ARINC 429, just a mystery with BT :-?

    Uncommanded turns

    Don't remember that far back  :o But it would only be one end, and all at the common point. Given the short runs, it should not need the shield at all taken to ground. AUSFLY was great thanks Jake. And thanks to DYNON and Horsham Aviation too, there generosity went to a good cause including the...

    Uncommanded turns

    BLUE TOOTH I ahve only ever had two instances, while in NAV mode on an ARINC 429 connected GNS530W Both times it was a passenger with a Samsung phone turning Blutooth on/off, linking to the Lighspeed Zulu's. I have never had this problem with the iPhones that are often connected. The...

    D180 display: What causes ROP to shift to LOP

    The Dynon system is pretty well set up. If you know the fuel flow, MAP and RPM, for a given engine you can tell a lot. But think of it like this, HP is determined essentially by the following; ROP=Mass Airflow (MAPxRPM) LOP= Fuel Flow. For more education, I 100% recommend you sign up for...

    Best ways to cut down aircraft weight?

    Snowy beat me to it. The PILOT! Same comment for our race car, we would kill for extra HP, and or weight savings........ where was the easiest excess weight......the driver. Driver found it harder to get rid of though, could not easily unbolt it. :'(

    EGT/CHT reading high after installation

    Stick to the D180....ditch the VDO's Simple as that!

    RV8 SV32 and roll trim=> SLIP

    Have you pulled the servo apart by some chance, it sounds like it needs a recalibration :D

    Free Engine Data Analysis

    What it offers is a FREE graphing tool. The analysis still needs to be done, by you! So you need to know exactly what it is showing you, and what it means. Another excellent tool is EGTrend which presently does not take Dynon data, but it will very shortly. :-)

    SPN warning on EGT

    Paul, quite simple, it is a SPAN alarm. For EGT the SPAN is really a waste of space. The only time any alarm is useful for span is when in the cruise and you get slight variations, this is why I m pushing Dynon to get a NORMALIZE mode. Any large egt variation on a cylindr will be visibly...

    EGT Normalise mode

    Yep! And it was George Braly, John Deakin and Walter Atkinson that had me convinced I needed to talk Dynon into this. It will make them the leading EMS supplier. It may seem trivial, but as a couple have pointed out, this is BIG DEAL.

    EGT Normalise mode

    Anyone else want to join the cause? Don't be shy. When you realise the safety benefits, this is a big one!

    RV8 SV32 and roll trim=> SLIP

    Just make sure the servo arm does not go over centre on the inner most hole. If it does it will kill you! :o

    RV8 SV32 and roll trim=> SLIP

    try the middle hole indeed! Always use the closest hole that you can without the controls going over centre!

    AP-76

    So will the AP76 ever see the light of day? Those of us who went this way expecting the AP76 one day, will have a high degree of expectation. Disappointment will be a bad advertisement, and we all know that it is harder to win customers than keep those you have. In this case the word of mouth...

    EGT Normalise mode

    Well it just can be a safety of flight issue. This is one feature which other EMS have and it is a significant flight safety matter. The raw data number in deg F or C is fine, it does not need normalising at all. The green bars do. small subtle changes can be the early warning signs of...
