Well there you go - belt AND suspenders, if that's your thing.

Physically? Yes. Legally? No. The trim motors have always been there, but it's the STC for it that is lacking. I'm perfectly aware what the Dynon marketing says - but marketing and reality are not the same when it comes to the autotrim functionality. It needs the Trimamp module and it will...

I suspect you might have a problem with the USB stick you are using. Try an 8GB stick formatted for FAT32.

You'll need to perform a servo calibration as well. Once that is done you should have full AP control.

Section 5, specifically page 5-72, of the current user manual available FREE from this very same website. Imagine that! Free! It's like they wanted people to actually, you know, READ IT or something, I dunno...

Damnit! This is why we can't have nice things, right here...

I built all my own cables as well, using twisted pair instead of shielded for the network connections, no issues in just over 3000 hours and 4 different airplanes. I'm not thinking there is a real need for shielded over twisted pair, as long as you keep your data cables separated from heavy...

Intermittent electrical issues will give you gray hair and cirrhosis of the liver.

Yep, I think you have found your problem...

Vans may specify shielded for the autopilot servos, but I think thats just a generic "catch-all" for good clean signals to the device. You will notice, if you look, that there is no such thing as a servo with Vans logo on it - so Vans cannot really say what is, or is not, needed for any...

Are you certain your actual battery voltage is not going down? If the alternator is not charging (which is indicated by the -3 amps displayed) then the battery voltage will decay, and the voltage indication may actually be correct. If you're absolutely sure the alternator and battery are both...

Agreed. I don't like Plane Power alternators either - but this is not a guaranteed Plane Power problem.

I'm in the same condition - the pitot heat indicator on my screen shows only that the heat controller is active, or not. It does not show the pulsing behavior of the heater itself, only tells me if the heat controller is on or off. That's the only output that the heat controller has available...

Here is how I have mine, for reference.

I would do away with Next Waypoint - it's already shown in the PFD as your next point of nav.

Have you ever seen those problems without the engine running? Try shutting off the alternator field after engine start, and see if that affects the problem. All those components, if mounted on the engine, are relying on a good ground from the engine back to the battery. If that ground is not...

In that particular case, no it cannot. Skyview will display information from a single outside source, screen selectable. It can follow it's own VFR gps guidance, or follow any outside device that feeds CDI guidance, but only one source at a time. In your case of a G175 navigator (which is GPS...

Yep, I'm still waiting on the promised auto-trim module for the STC'd install in our 172 from FIVE YEARS ago.

Don Jones personally promised me in Spring 2020 that I would have the "autotrim" module for the Cessna 172 R autopilot before the end of the year, so we pulled the trigger on the STC install that happened in May 2020 for our 172 tail number 2451N performed by Jesse Saint at their certified...

That data would not be coming from the Skyview, it is sourced from the certified IFR navigator that feeds the CDI data to Skyview.
