    Magnetometer alignment?

    Marc - with respect, I think there is something going on in your case that is causing the issues you’ve had. My comments are based on experience with ~ 50 RVs installs, never had 1 compass calibration fail & my own aircraft as well as others I’ve done are composite too.

    Magnetometer alignment?

    All bets are off until after you do the inflight calibration - the precision after that is amazing. Just throw it around in left/right hand orbits until you are well over the 100 on the counter, you will be rewarded.

    Flap position sensor issue

    Sensor bad is unlikely IF it's the Ray Allen POS-12, unless it has been damaged. A picture of the sensor install would/could be very helpful. Is the sensor wired to operate via an EFIS ? which brand ?, or via a bus system like the VP-X ?

    Differences between HDX and Classic worth the cost?

    # 1 - it's always your choice - there's a school of thought that says get the best you can afford. I've had the Classic system & now have the HDX for the last 200+ hrs & never regretted it. # 2 Negative, you don't need the Gps 2020 as the 'approved' position source for ADSB OUT can be via a Tso...

    SV-COM-425 to SV-COM_PANEL harness data wiring

    FWIW - the serial (2 wire) cable can be twisted or a shielded pair, which is also twisted by default - all standard industry practice. Safer to do it That way ;)

    Skyview and Trig Transponder

    They are not exactly the same thing - The Dynon version of the Trig does not have the inbuilt encoder & there are other internal differences that preclude what you are trying to do. You could sell the Trig transponder & free up some panel space that way as well ;).

    EGT spade connectors changed?

    Random, Here’s more on the EGT/CHT connectors, lost count on the numbers however I‘ve done at least 65 installs over various aircraft without changing to any other type of connector, I’ve only changed the manufacturer ( to AMP). Dynon had some time ago changed their probes & wiring from a...

    EGT spade connectors changed?

    Dynon has mostly supplied some ‘pink’ insulated ones ( IMO those are a cheap type) I actually throw them away & only use the AMP brand ones. There are other types better suited to thermocouple wires, a search of this site will give you more input. HTH

    “Most aren't human readable and takes the engineers to sort through.“ That interesting & begs the question - you using AI instead of real people ? 😂

    AP panel issues continue!

    Maybe you have a USB power supply converter plugged in to your 12v socket regardless of it being actually connected to another device - thought I’d just mention this as some brands are known to cause problems. Disregard my comment if you don’t have one 😉

    Nits & Picks

    Mtb, 1. Have you tried hanging 3 fingers over the top of the glareshield To brace your hand & using index & thumb To control the knobs? 2. “ your head is primarily focussed on the outside” - good point, IMO that’s what matters most as you should let the AOA audio do its job without looking at a...
