Nice catch. That was some good investigative work. I will check mine as well. Thanks!

I have the same setup as you do Warren. Your connection strategy is correct. The Skyview will show the RPM using the ignition system still operating as you secure each during a pre takeoff check. This will happen seamlessly to you. If one signal becomes invalid (you just turned it off) the other...

I am finally beginning to wire the EMS module to the various sensors. I am curious as to how the units seeks it's information. For instance, in the oil pressure, oil temperature and fuel pressure inputs there is only one wire with the sender requiring a very good ground. It makes sense to me...

The Dynon GPS is not a certified navigation device. You should not use any of the RNAV codes. VOR/DME with Mode C is close but the Dynon transponder is also Mode S. There are codes dealing with this in the chart. I am not sure if it uses extended squitter but hopefully Support will be along to...

Dynon Support will probably be along after the holiday to confirm but I think all resistive senders should be compatible. Just remember you will need to do the calibration. The procedure is available in the manual. There is a copy on the site if you do not have yours.

How sensitive is the rear of the probe? I plan to mount my probe in an inspection panel on the bottom of the wing which I think should be fine. The other possibility is in the skin of the wing in the wheel well area. It would be a bit harder to do here so I was hoping the inspection panel below...

Can I get all the weather and TFR/NOTAM functions of the ADS-B without having the Dynon transponder? I understand I will not have traffic without it.

The problem with the NACA duct is twofold. Firstly, it is exposed to the heated cabin on the back side which Dynon discourages in the install manual. The other item is that the engine heats the cowling surface from below and your cowling inlets may even backflow a bit at high speed which will...

Do not forget to connect the GPS puck to both D700 displays. This note is shown in the installation manual.

I forgot about the fuel probes. Looks like I will split both lines to a small supply bus with one for each voltage in case I need more. Thanks for the heads up!

I am installing the EMS harness. I split the wires in the harness into two groups. One group of wires stays on the cold side of the firewall while the other goes through to the hot side. I have sorted out the fact there are a couple of RED wires and three YELLOW and gotten each to the...

That was the magnetic calibration versus the fuel calibration I was doing. Sorry for the confusion. Should have looked at my notes more closely.

Check the install manual. I helped install a dual Skyview system in an RV4 and had no difficulties. If memory serves, Dynon says that as long as the ADAHRS correctly displays aircraft attitude the fuel gauges may be calibrated in the tail down attitude. I had no problem with it and it works just...

Ola, just transfer the files to the thumbdrive. By "root" they mean not to put them in folders you create. Simply transfer the files without trying to do anything with them. They will transfer as files and will not become .zip so you need not worry about that. It has been a while but this is...

The ADAHRS came with a plastic plug in the port. Leaving it installed will prevent contamination of the port which might occur if left open.

Bear, the later Lightspeed units have an output for you. It sends pulses of about 10 volt amplitude which the Dynon will use quite nicely. No need for the resistors, those are only for the P leads of magnetos. The very early Lightspeeds put out much less voltage on these pins and needed to be...

The Skyview will operate normally in all modes without the battery as long as it receives power. You will notice no difference as long as the Master Switch is on.

Jeff, the backup battery powers the screen it is attached to, the ADAHRS, SV-250 GPS (puck), and the ARINC 429. It does not power the transponder or any other GPS antennas. After installation, a fully charged battery is tested annually to allow the system to operate for one hour absent any other...

I would also like to retain the heading bug while in track mode. In the IFR system it is very common to have Approach Control have you fly your route to a fix followed by an assigned heading. I leave the heading bug on the heading as a reminder. Arriving at the last point, I simply change from...

Dynon Support will probably be along shortly but I will give you a couple of thoughts. The Standby Network error you menion may have been caused by a bad connection. As you know from the installation manual, the Skyview network utilizes two redundant data network paths. It would seem the system...
