Looked at the  PAR 100EX http://www.ps-engineering.com/PAR100EX.shtml  ? it can monitor (for ATIS info, not course deviation) NAV frequencies too a neat way to minmise panel crowding & you can add the Dynon radio later when available, then you'll have the advantages of 2 comms for a reasonable...

I agree and nobody said you HAVE TO look at the screens when VFR, that's why personally I'm not interesed in synthetic vis as well. :) Jake J

That location for the ADAHRS is the only one I use for all the RV's, never had an issue ;) GPS puck - anywhere outside the airframe (some have mounted it just under th cowl forward side of firewall) is ok as long as suitably distanced from transmitting antennas. HTH Jake J

Bruno That's the beauty of serial data & the SL30 - no wonder most/all of the EFIS manufacturers choose this unit :) Jake J

That's the beauty of the Skyview - you're good to go with the sensors you have :);D Jake J

Bruno Just connect the SL30 serial to one of the SV serial ports 1 to 4. You need to set up the SL30 in its menu too. SL30 37 dsub connector  - 1 = pwr 2 = ground 3 = serial ground 4 = RX from SV ie (SV TX ) 5 = TX to SV  ie (SV RX) & don't forget the audio -- 23 = audio out (HI) 20 = audio...

In a 'metal' aircraft the Ground isn't necessary however I'd use a 2 core shielded wire anyway and use one wire as the gnd & connect the shield at both ends ;) Jake J

"I consistently get a -9 reading on the #1 CHT both shorting out the pins on the back of the D120" Not sure that I saw that comment earlier :) - however that has narrowed it down. 'ticking' noise is normal ;) Hopefully my comments, Reply #4, will help others troubleshoot their issues too...

Did you check to see if any of the wires are 'retracted' at the Dynon connector end ? Although they may appear to be ok refitting the connector can cause issues especially IF you bend the harness in any way while doing so - hold the connector in one hand and wriggle the harness with the other...

Randall You could do it either/any way however make sure that the servo Pwr & Gnd wires are 20awg and the power comes from a separate circuit breaker or fuse - don't use the Network power wires. I've never found moisture contamination to be an issue however you could 'wrap' the connections with...

PM me - I've done many Dynon installations with Lyc - 360's, never had to use anything other than the 30KoHm supplied resistors so i may be able to help here. ;) Jake J

and at about $240. Jake J

and the ACK A-30.9 (was 30.8) which gives serial & gray code - 100 or 10ft resolution. ;) Jake J

Russ DS have fixed some 'issues' with backup batteries in the latest software - I'm sure they'll encourage you to do the update first before worrying yourself too much over this. I recently (with 3.1.1) had the same issues you're describing and tried many combinations of dual screen/batteries...

My suggestion was just to troubleshoot the issue by turning off/on one item at a time, good to know exactly where it's coming from - the solution is an entirely different matter ;D Jake J ps - you have a pm re the VP question

That's what I usually do for installations however there are many combinations/options possible ;) Jake J

Reading the install manual would be a good start ;) Jake J

Did you try it with the PM1200 turned off ? - (the audio system will still work as it will go into Failsafe mode - ie Pilot will still hear audio) but you probably tried this ? Jake J

Graham Servo CB - it's really up to you but I'd just use a 5amp to do both servos. AP74 - doesn't needit's own separate switch, generally the CB's are to protect the wiring. HTH Jake J :)

Ok ... great. The SV will be good for a carbureted Lyc with fixed pitch prop as no need for 2 x MAP gauges, the engine monitor may be a bit 'camped' for space - any chance of showing a mock up of twin engine display ?? Jake J
