Re: D100 wind error Apart from the above, you need to compare your TAS to a GPS BOX test, to verify your IAS and TAS. This will prove if you have a static problem.

The RV8 installation with the bug does have the TRK mode available on the D100 and if selected the TRK button lights up. Runing 5.4 My installation also running 5.4 works fine, and when using the D100 the TRK mode is not available on the D100 menu, I assume because it knows there is an AP74...

I have assisted in another RV8 installation and this one has a Garmin Area500 and an AP74/D100 system. The HDG mode works fine, the NAV mode works fine, but nothing will get it to work in TRK mode. The GPS is set to NMEA and Normal. D100 has Serial set to AUTO. Could it be the AP74 is just a...

I had a D180 with attitude sensor issues. Dynon Support, you could maybe look back into that case and compare it to this one. You may have a small number of gyro's that are not playing the game after a while. Not likely but could be what is happening. compare the S/No's and component supply...

The outer hole gives least torque and control resolution so if you can use the inner most one without over centring the arm you will get a much nicer result.

YEP!! And CSK rivets is the way to solve it. Others may have similar experiences and different solutions but the one RV8 install I helped with we found the same thing.

Try this........ I set up an RV8 recently and it is working well, this is a guide and you may need to fiddle a bit. Also set your Vert Speed to about 700FPM • Pitch Max Torque: 60% • Pitch Sensitivity: 18-22 • Pitch Gain: 22-25 • Altitude Gain (ALT GAIN): 15-17 • Pull...

Re: Software 5.4 for EFIS D10 A on an MCR01 Sporst 5.4 is way better........one small bug to fix ;) Here are some suggestions from my experience so far. TORQUE: 100% Adjust until servo does not slip during normal AP flight, and be comfortably overridden by the pilot. SENSITIVITY: 22 or...

Seems the old Apollo does not output the right data. He will be ditching it soon anyway and this was the motivation required! 8-)

If you have a jabiru and think your controls are light, you will most likely not even notice the servo's on the ground or in the air. I set up 2 x A/P's in Vans RV8's recently and the same question was asked as the RV really is light in controls. They were both surprised that there was no...

Dynon Support Would you mind reporing back on this thread what you find. I have recently set up 2 autopilots for friends here near Brisbane and both use the serial input. I am soon to update them and would appreciate any known bugs or things to watch out for. So far off the ARINC 429 its...

Perhaps! Will have to search for a Installation guide!

Agreed. I did try the other formats, and there were no obvious menu's for sentence structures ...........and I doubt the installation manual is easy to get, I googled it and only found user manuals. I suspect this museum piece may well be replaced soon enough anyway. Any ideas on the AP74...

I have been helping a local fellow with his D100/AP74 setup today and most things now work properly, with a couple of exceptions. this may be due to the Apollo 360 GPS :-/ Serial data is coming to the D100, we get Magenta on the HSI We get DTW and TRK data appearing at the top of the HSI. We...

Re: Software 5.4 for EFIS D10 A on an MCR01 Sporst I have the same issue. I have not been able to fly the plane in the last 4 weeks since installing 5.4 in the Beta format, but it did the same thing for me. Some of the gains....and from memory I can not recall which one it was helped the rate...

Well your next task is to improve the cooling flows into the engine area and out. Remember that you need a positive pressure in the inlet and a negative at the bottom with no leaks to get proper airflow from one place to another. Go seek the help of some other builders locally.

I doubt you will get a response from Jabiru. Which bolt did you use? Understand of course you could literally see variations of up to 50 degrees F and I would not be surprised. What aircraft model is this engine in? The best solution is always like the Lycoming sensor, and I am not sure if...

The important thing was that we found burned oil around the sparks JUST in those wich have the probes: EUREKA! it means, bad sealing, gases going out an high temp mis-reading. The thing was clear for us. I am not sure what diameter hole you have in the CHT sensor ring, but from memory it is...

Next time it does that just go about your business for a while and see if they come on line. You may find its a matter of the comms sorting themselves out. Not sure otherwise.. :-?

Jabiru heads in some installations do get hot! What I would do is run a dedicated set of cables and see. If you are using the under spark plug sensor they can be tricky to get a good seal too!
