Bob, I also have a 480. I looked to see your email to send you a copy of settings I got from the Yahoo 480 Users Group but it was not listed. The Skyview Installation Manual has a diagram showing the connection of the 480 to the ARINC 429 adapter. If that does not answer your questions, shoot me...

Tim, The method they describe is only necessary if you are using a GPS track reading and not a compass rose. It is simply an alternate way to get a good heading if you do not have a reliable source inside or outside the plane to reference.

Mounting the probe on the side of the fuselage will meaning losing the angle of attack (AOA) function since that works in a vertical plane. It could still work if you mounted it on the bottom of the fuselage in a pusher. I was considering this option for canard aircraft.

The idea of a panel approximately the size of a business card gives some planning help. I would echo that the faceplate should be printed on both sides in different orientation such that one side is for vertical mount and the other horizontal giving the builder the most options. Some standalone...

Downloading the latest version from Dynon updates your system to include all previous updates. Just download the latest version and install it. Please remember to back up your settings before you do. They should not be disturbed but it takes only a moment to save all your previous work in...

The voltage seems very high for a 14V system. That should not have hurt the probes but does the system go back to normal when the alternator is turned off?

The K factor is an estimate of the number of pulses the sensor will produce for a given volume of fuel. Every sensor is actually different. Some brands test each sensor and label each with the tested value. This adds cost to the sensor. The Red Cube uses a standard value for all sensors produced...

You need to adjust the K factor. It is derived with simple mathmatics. In your case, try changing the 68000 value to 57800. 17     (57800) __ =   _____ 20      68000

If you install an external sensor on the mag you will only need the one connection to the EMS since it reads the rotation of the magnet in the mag vice the firing signal. You could also use the type sensor which mounts to the tach drive of the accessory case on the rear of the engine. If you...

I am retrofitting a Dynon pitot probe into an RV4. As you know, the wings are very similar. My plan is to mount it to the inspection plate used to inspect the aileron bellcrank. I think you will be able to do the same thing. With flexible lines you will not have to open the pitot/ AOA fittings...

I will take a look. Thanks!

I have heard of folks having an engine mounted RPM sensor which attaches where the typical tach drive cable mounts on the rear accessory housing on Lycoming engines. Do any of you have one you recommend and can give price and source? I have one Lightspeed and one mag. I know I can hook these to...

Please confirm I can leave all wires in the DB9 at the servo as long as I lead the power, ground and disconnect separately at the other end to ships power. I am going to run the servo wiring today and having the DB9 intact at the servo end would result in a much cleaner install. I though I had...

Network wires can be cut to length. The only wires in the Skyview system which cannot be altered without consequences are the CHT/EGT. Those are special and Dynon Support can give better guidance but they will tell you the network wires can be any length.

Have you charged it? Connect the aircraft battery to a charger sufficient to maintain charging voltage with the Dynon on (which can be read from the Dynon). The Dynon should charge the backup battery. It will take quite a while if the backup battery is very low. I would double check connections...

Carl has a very good point. I only fly to one airport per flight plan but in a cross country airplane could have many intermediate points which all need to be loaded. If Skyview is planning to add flight plan input utilizing T routes, RNAV routes and airways, perhaps we could have the option to...

I have seen it mounted under the pilot seat outboard against the fuselage and it worked fine. That said, leading all the lines was much harder and there was not as much clearance from known and future electromagnetic influence. As such I would second Jake's recommendation. I think most are there...

Mine is in the fuselage. There are pictures on the Vans Air Force site of a similar setup on another RV4. I can send you a picture of my servo setup if you cannot find it. Just send an email.

The opening pointing directly forward is the pitot. The opening one the slant is the angle of attack.

Just like Jake says, the problem is going to be with a bad connection. If you are not seeing fluctuations in the panel lights or landing light, you are probably getting clean power and the fault will be found in a bad connection. The Skyview accurately reports the input given to it but when you...
