To be honest, I don't even have the back seat in and don't expect to ever fly with a second person, but don't want to totally exclude the possibility if I sell the airplane. I'd try to put the RX switches in the upper left hand corner, and I'd engage them with my left hand. I have room behind...

I find that Dynon has a good solution. The SV-INTERCOM-2S I have serves as both an audio panel and intercom. I need to find room for one SV-COM-PANEL which I think I can do if I move one small appliance. Then I use a SPDT toggle to choose TX 1 or 2 and either the volum knobs on the...

I'd prefer a Dynon radio and can put the radio panel in the space currently occupied by the intercom panel. I'm looking for an audio panel function to handle the second radio and an intercom function, preferably just using toggle switches. If I put in the Trig I'd still need an audio panel so...

I have a small, tandem two-seat airplane with a very small panel including one radio panel and one intercom panel. I want to add a second radio panel and think I'll have to use the intercom panel space for it. That means I need to find a place for an audio control panel or function including...

Reading and understanding are sometimes legitimately two different things. I just assembled a 3-element 5-band HF antenna that I had to rebuild three times because the instructions were obtuse or missing. I use a radio logging program that is a marvel of capability but sometimes the...

I usually do a search for the term, and it shows quickly the table of contents entries and then, of course, more, but the TOC results can get me quickly to the right section.

Have you checked the filters that might have been invoked for NRST?

Double check you're using the designated reference point. Some are front of wing, some front of spinner, others in other places.

"Garmin radios have over 2.5x the transmit and receive power/range." Having a more powerful transmit side of the transceiver in your plane does not improve your reception. That is an issue of antennas, coax and receiver circuitry. If the other airplane has a more powerful transmitter, you may...

There are several threads on this forum discussing this question. I recommend you search for them. The consensus seems to be don't try to make the ground plane perfect in size or shape, rather make it bigger than necessary and not a circle. See the articles. I don't know how to cite a...

If you are going to dial in the frequency, maybe it would work to select the airport by invoking the APT button on the SV COM panel and then dialing in that airport, hopefully taking only a twist or so of the selection dial, and then choosing the comm function wanted. I tend to use that feature...

RG142 is solid core so isn't as good for flexibility and has a bigger turn radius, but it has better attenuation and for runs over 15' may be better than RG400. I used both in my homebuilt, depending on the application.

My impression is that this thread is not conducive to people wanting to buy Dynon equipment. It's Dynon's forum and if I were Dynon, I'd be having some offline conversations with some of the posters and I'd reach out to the OP in a more friendly manner. Yes, I ran a very popular national forum...

According to the instructions, Dynon has already stated their position. Use #11 unless you have reason to use a different hole diameter consistent with an AN3 bolt. AN3 bolts thread diameter tolerance permits up to 0.189, so a #12 would theoretically work. What do you want Dynon to tell you...

You note the pitch servo says "or preferred clearance for AN3 bolt). #11 is just a little larger than #12, for whatever difference that makes.

#3. You want to be able to see the radio screen while you are changing any radio controls, so you don't want your hand in the way, therefore the radio should be vertical if it's being manipulated with the left hand. Plus, you can brace your left pinky on the panel if you are trying to change...

C'mon, symmetry has nothing to do with this. Sit in the airplane. Pretend you are flying. Go through the motions involved in all stages from start up to departure, cruise, approach and shut down and place the controls and devices where they are most logical. You'll get the flow of that very...

I have a Rans S-7S with a SkyView HDX but it initially had a Touch. Right or wrong, I gave quite a bit of thought to panel layout. I have no training or experience in panel layout. I designed the panel to hinge so the entire panel falls toward you and lays flat so you have access to the...

I'm assuming there is no navradio or anything else. Well, here's the easy way to do this, although it takes a little extra time. You know the range and bearing from an airport or other fix. From your position, estimate a track that will intercept the desired radial and take you to a point...

Could be a location for a hold.
