Thanks for the answer and the update! Sounds like an SL 70 will do the trick for me.

Thanks for the info on the SL 70. Can you verify the setting you are talking about is on the Dynon? I assume it is a single serial wire that needs to be run. Dynon Support, can you confirm the SL 70 will accept the SV serial output and that the SL 70 is a digital box? My understanding is that...

Is this documented in the manuals or a "shop secret"?

Testing the altimeter to 30,000 feet is a normal part of an static certification check in the US and required every 24 months for any aircraft to operate IFR. A shop who does this blocks off one static port while attaching the other to a calibration box. The box contains a Master Altimeter, hand...

Phantom, That would allow a climb at Vx or Vy etc but does not allow full functionality which would include cruise and descent. I will grant you climb at Vy to altitude is more important than the other features but as long as we are asking........

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...

Any chance we could have an "airspeed hold" feature? This way, once trimmed to best rate of climb (or best angle or whatever you chose) the aircraft would just use pitch to maintain this speed. This would be a much more efficient way to operate in climb. For descent you could just hold present...

If you have the Dynon pitot probe it might be worth verifying the connections so that pitot is going to pitot and AOA is going to AOA. It sounds pretty basic and I do not mean to imply you have not already checked but there was another builder who had a similar situation and as I recall his...

Does the D10A firmware version you are using have GPS Assist?

Alfio, Phantom is right about the crosswind. The autopilot will lower the upwind wing to turn into the wind so as to correct for drift. However, when the correct drift correction is found and applied (delta heading) the plane will return to wings level with the proper course correction applied.

Will you consider the possibility of choosing not to display the ball? I do not write software for a living (all of you with working computers are grateful for this) but it seems simple enough to do.

mmarian, Please check your personal messages. I sent along a Glasair question.

Can you choose not to have the ball shown on the display?

I think Dynon Support will jump in here but they no longer recommend connecting the Keep Alive lead on the D100 and D180. If you search for Keep Alive you will see a good bit of discussion on the matter. As I recall, there was a problem (cannot remember exactly what the problem was and may have...

Right now the Glasair is a standard type panel. This kit had the Vision panel before it was abandoned and I bought it but it was sold before me.

mmarien, I fly from these large airports with ASDE in my day job. The FAA puts out on ATIS that the transponder is to be "operated on all taxiways and runways including Mode C". The TCAS in the jet automatically ignores targets at field elevation (derived through FMS routing). I am going to...

Frank, I have been looking at Long EZ's and I think you can easily put the standard L shaped Dynon pitot tube on the plane. You could mount it on the wing easily if removed. Rutan did not put it there since the nose was just sitting there in clear air and it was a convenient place to mount. The...

Will the map still be free if I get the Skyview and am happy with the map features as they exist prior to the $500 upgrade or will the entire map feature be disabled if I do not wish to have the enhanced features? The map does pretty much everything I want now. I am also not interested in the...

Re: updated firmware to 5.2 and now DSAB doesn't w With no lights on the HS 34 it sounds like it may not be receiving power. Any chance you had a pin pull or wire break? If the HS 34 is on it's own fuse/breaker that might also be worth a quick look. I am sure Dynon will chime in but my...

Then with the GNS 480 over serial will I get ILS display and track (when autopilot enabled)? Will the HSI display the ILS? Will it display the standby VOR/LOC on the second needle of the HSI using the serial? Will GPS/RNAV vertical guidance be displayed but not tracked or is it not even...
