Jake is right as usual. The backup battery will only charge when the Skyview is on and above battery voltage. The other simple solution is to go fly. Don't know about you, but for me any excuse to fly is a good one!

I would very much like to have the VSR (Vertical Speed Required) index function be active when Skyview is using a flight plan from an IFR navigator over the ARINC bus. I can have the Skyview use the flight plan from my GNS 480 by selecting it as the map source. When the HSI source is set to the...

The flight plan from my GNS 480 (like any certified GPS navigator) can be displayed on the Skyview map having come over the ARINC lines. It would be nice to be able to import the points into the Dynon. This would allow me to save it (flight plan export) on the USB flash drive kept in the Dynon...

When the autopilot is engaged the flight directors automatically display. I really like this feature. Unfortunately, when I disengage the autopilot, the flight directors are removed. This happens even if the flight director was selected on prior to autopilot engagement. I would like the flight...

Go into settings and adjust the "Pulses per revolution" number. You may have never set it.

Is the new remote magnetometer retrofittable to existing ADAHRS installations? My ADAHRS in an RV4 works great for normal flying in the current location below the baggage bin. If I can put in a remote magnetometer I could pack for cross country flights a bit easier since at the present time I...

The 696 will drive the autopilot just fine. The output will show on the HSI as it moves between points. The flight plan the 696 is using will not show on the Skyview map. The Skyview autopilot will not follow vertical guidance from the 696 as a certified receiver and a ARINC module are required...

It is in the Skyview Installation Guide on page 5-1: Aircraft Icon The airplane symbol at the center of the compass rose on the PFD Page, and the center of MAP Page can be changed. There are a variety of airplane types available, including “Fighter”, “Jumbo”, and “Twin”, and more. The symbol...

Any chance we are going to get the ability to control the Dynon VHF radio completely through the Skyview like the transponder? I do not wish to add the radio panel to my instrument panel. No room and do not care for the look. I could easily live without some of the features the radio panel...

Dynon, is there a way I may encrypt the Skyview log files on the device? I prefer to choose who has access to these. How can I either encrypt them or prevent them from being recorded in the first place?

I constructed the ground plane Dynon recomends which is basically a square with slightly rounded corners. If memory serves it is 120 mm on each side. It is in an all composite Glasair and works extremely well. Given the small size it is not difficult to mount. Mine is internal (inside the belly...

If the frame is a good ground you will have no problems. I did this in two sensor applications and they work fine.

I use the flap widget with the degrees marked as set during calibration. If I could add a tiny green index at the takeoff setting like the pitch trim widget it would be great. I would like to retain the angle settings I set during calibration, not trade these for a green index. I do currently...

I would like to see the addition of an index mark on the flaps display. The trim display places an index at the takeoff trim setting. This very small green tick mark is very easily identifiable and helps verify correct trim is set for takeoff. I would like to see one added for flaps. My plane...

Did you go into the setup menu and change the sender type to Kavlico?

I had one die as well. It was about 14 months old. I bought it while finishing my project. Dynon will warrantee it for a year if bought through them as will the manufacturer. I was just outside that time period even though the plane had only flown 12 hours when the cube failed. You cannot...

Aha! I didn't know to get to that menu. Thanks, I will give it a try.

Choosing NMEA in and out showed a baud of 4800 while the Skyview showed a greyed out 9600. With this setup there was no data and the error count ran up. I chose TIS NMEA because it gave 9600 baud. The errors stopped and I got good data to the BRG 1 & 2 pointers along with text bearing and...

I borrowed a 496 to check my Skyview system which is also running a GNS480 and the Skyview itself for navigation. The 496 is set on Serial input 3. If I set the HSI source to the 496 the labeling will correctly show the 496 as well as bearing and distance to the first point of a flight plan but...
