    Can I use existing engine probes with Skyview?

    Dico From what I remember on the forum - EGT's, CHT's & fuel flow is ok to use existing, not sure about the rest. Do a search on this site. HTH Jake J

    EGT False Indication

    Not quite sure what to make of the tach issue. Are you using the standard 5th trigger coil pickup method? Do you have any resistors inline on the RPM pickup? Jim We need you to answer the question from DS, please  ;)   As for EGT - did you use a double jaw crimper (crimps terminal in 2...

    RPM indication

    John Try either. one will be obviously incorrect - you can't hurt the unit with the incorrect PPR. ;) Jake J

    Approved for IFR

    Dico Basically yes, but depending on what country you're, in as there can be some 'issues'. IMO 2 x Skyviews would be a minimum or steam gauges as backups, some like a combination of both. Jake J :)

    Resistors for p-lead RPM pickoff

    Rob I don't think you need do anything different from adding a resistor to the P lead (I do this at the switch end) as per the Dynon manual.  I've connected Dynons to many IO-540's without an issue so my guess is there is something else in the mix here.  Do you have the shielded wires going...

    Twin engine monitoring

    That would be a good move Dynon especially as, I believe, the Vision Microsystems (VMS) are NOT BEING SUPPORTED anymore. Jake J works on Defiants & Aircam ;)

    How to splice shielded cable to remote compass

    FWIW - I always use the dsub 9way connectors for any 'important to flight' connections, don't forget to use one pin/socket as well for the shield wire. ;) Jake J

    Any way to center bank angle/ball when on ground

    Re: Any way to center bank angle/ball when on grou Contact DS direct - there are no 'field' adjustments and they'd want to look at it anyway to assess the damage. Jake J

    Resistors for p-lead RPM pickoff

    Jeff 100k oHm should work fine - 1/4 or 1/2 watt is ok too. Jake J

    Compass calibration

    beno Great to hear you're on track with the 'issue' - that's why I asked recently about how far from the seat it was, because of the possible magnetic influences. Jake J :)

    We have to look out the window - that worx too ;D No chance of getting XM weather here or for free (impossible), and don't get me started on ADSB :'( Making Mapping and Flight Planning work well will help everyone, not just those in the USA. Realistically, Apps will probably 'fix' what...

    Compass calibration

    Maybe you had something ferrous/metallic in your pockets ? or cell phone ? I've never had an 'issue' with existing correct compass cal after upgrading to vers 3.0. Have done 5 so far.

    D-10A

    DS A customer had this exact same situation ie the CDI @ 360 (no HS34) - I did get the OBS to work on the ground without a valid Lo/ILS signal, not sure how but I think I pressed the OBS button on the SL30, or something like that, as well.  He has 5.4 too. Harkfly - the answer is there...
