I know I can buy a fuel flow transducer to add to the EMS with the sensor kit. I have a transducer from a Shadin Digiflow system. Can I use that? Will I need to build a sensor file or will the Skyview know what it is?

My airplane will have Lightspeed Plasma III electronic ignition. These units output signals which you read for RPM. The units also output manifold pressure. Can I use this to feed the Skyview instead of having to mount and plumb in the GM sensor you supply in the probe kit? The unit outputs...

I know I can feed a serial transmit connection from the Skyview to the serial receive on both the Garmin 327 and 330 transponders to use for altitude information to air traffic control. Is this capability present in other digital transponders? I am thinking of the SL 70 and King KT 76C although...

It would be my guess that when an ARINC converter is released for Skyview that it will be another small module which would communicate with the screens via the network connections through a splitter. Is development to the point where a release date is being considered? Will there be an...

I have seen several videos of the Skyview in motion from both Dynon and a couple of YouTubes. I have a few questions. What is the diameter of the HSI on the ten inch screen at full, half and three mode displays? What is the size of the HSI on the D-180/D-100? I feel confidant the HSI is usable...

I just read on the site that Dynon is saying to disable DSAB on legacy two screen systems due to a dual screen rebooting issue. The DSAB functionality is very important to me. Will the next firmware update solve this issue and allow DSAB to be enabled for IFR flight?

I know Garmin 530, 430, 480, SL 30 and SL 40 will all feed the HSI in the D180 and D100 from reading here. What other nav radios will do this?

I am building a Glasair and am planning to construct a "shelf" attached to the sides of the fuselage in the back to provide a mount point for the remote compass units of a D180 and D100. It occurred to me I might make the actual shelf out of aluminum and perhaps mount both the ELT and...

Does the D180 support a Hall Effect sensor to read current? This would provide me a cleaner install and two less big wire connections. I know Advanced sells a Hall Effect for amperage but have not found other senesors. If the D180 does support this, which sensors are known to work?

I have been planning to use a D180/D100 combo in the Glasair I am building. With the release of the full details on the Skyview, I can consider this but have a couple of questions. Can the Synthetic Vision be turned off? I find this very distracting to a true IFR platform. I think I saw that it...

I have a friend who just received a pitch servo for a plane he is building. His plane is an RV6 so the mounting kit is for that aircraft. The bracket which holds the servo would serve well for the roll servo in my Glasair and could even be used for the pitch servo if I added a slight mod. The...

How close to the D180 can the remote compass be located? How far away from a magneto? How far from a standard magnetic compass? I am considering putting the remote compass behind the instrument panel since there is a huge amount of room to do so in a Glasair IIS. Leading the wiring all the way...

I am concerned about keeping the internal batteries charged in the D180 I plan to install in the aircraft I am building. I know the current advice is to leave out the Keep Alive wire due to problems I have read here. Does the Keep Alive circuit charge the internal battery? If so, if it were...

I know the Dynon units do not draw much power. I am starting the panel build and wanted to know if there are requirements for cooling of the units. My Garmin 530 has a 1 inch port on the back for cooling air and it needs it as the unit (especially the screen) generates a great deal of heat.

I am going to put a D180 in my panel and pair it with a D100. I will place the 180 in front of the pilot. My question is about how much latitude I have in configuring the display pages. I think it is possible to have the D180 display the attitude on the left 2/3 of the screen and the engine...

I have been leading the wiring in the conduit in the wings of my Glasair. I have read I need 5 wires for the servos. I planned for a power wire, one ground, one AP disconnect and two wires for the DSAB. My plan is to make all these 20ga. The distance from the D180 to the roll servo will be about...

It is my belief that a D180 and/or D100 will display AOA if both the ports are properly connected to a Dynon AOA probe. Is that so? Can they share the pitot and AOA pressure lines the same way everything normally shares the static port connection?

I realize not many details are available for NEXTGEN but I wondered if some of the parameters that have been resolved apply to sharing data across the cockpit. My current plan is to have a FD 180 on the pilot side with a 100 on the copilot side as this gives me the flexibility to put the engine...

I have a Vision Micosystems capacitive fuel probe which came installed in my partially completed kit. Since it is custom fit, I need to retain it. I understand I need a converter to change the VM capacitive output to 0-5v DC. While I have been told Princeton Electronics makes such a converter, I...

I have a question about how I might be able to get AOA to cross indicators using the DSAB. I plan to have a D180 as a master unit with a D100 on the copilot side. I have a standard heated pitot which I had planned to hook to the D180. I have obtained a Dynon AOA probe but it is not heated. If I...
