The book says to try to get the ADAHRS within 1° of level on each of the three axes and to do the same with the MAG-236. I can handle the ADHRS but the MAG is stuck in a carbon fiber wing and extremely awkward to access and manipulate. No way can I get a level in there. How do I know it...

Dynon, thanks for your prompt and useful response. Steve. Thanks for your further elucidation on the use of the term "epoch". One is always sure to learn something on this forum. It's kind of why I read a lot and post almost never.

It is called an epoch by the Navy, by DOT and many others, so I assumed epoch was an appropriate term.

May I assume there will be no GPS epoch issues with Dynon GPS devices and systems?

A quick, informal review of the Touch installation manual seems to lead one to think an upgrade would be conceivable. There are not that many test and graphics changes. I did not look at pagination to see if that would be a major issue. The pilot user manual has enough changes it doesn't seem...

I see you offer a manual download and a redline version of the manual. I suppose if I looked at the redline version I could answer my own question, but does Dynon offer an update version of the manual? I ask because I have printed out the manual and if I could print only the updates I 'd...

When Dynon releases the 472 fix and the documentation update, someone please start a new thread and announce it. Thank you.

I wonder if the update delay has something to do with syncing it with the certificated device?

I look forward to looking at the PC version, as there are few PC EFBs that I've found.

I don't disagree that the aural approach has benefits. Let me mention a few other considerations. I learned to fly AOA in a two-pilot system. That let one divide attention a little better because one could focus more and let the other pilot handle certain things. The AOA I learned with was...

I talked to the Dynon boss at Oshkosh and said I'd like a visual AOA on the glare shield. He told me to use the aural notice. Ergo, I got the impression that anything visual with AOA was not going to get support at the highest levels of Dynon. Your idea is interesting and I'd like to see it...

Yes, I put together the 40A alternator from parts, identical to but not purchased from Rotax. Shipping now. I'm also running a 10W amateur radio.

If I put the heated pitot tube and control box in the left wing and move the remote magnetometer to the tail, can I leave the OAT sensor in the left wing where it is now? I'll run the wires for both the OAT and the heated pitot tube in the same chase.

I've tentatively decided to move the remote magnetometer from the left wing to the tail in the area covered by the ventral fin. I'll have to take the fin off, fabricate a mount, epoxy it on to the outside of the tail and put the fin back on. Running the wire is no problem. This is a...

I'm either going to have to do without the remote magnetometer, move it to the fuselage, or cut a hole in the carbon fiber wing to install the heated pitot tube and wiring in the other wing. None of these options is palatable.

New development - I am having trouble getting access for the hoses and wires to the pitot tube site I prefer.  One possible option will place the heated pitot tube, mounting apparatus and control very close to the remote magnetometer. My question is what is the closest I can place those two...

I was initially worried about the galvanic action between aluminum and carbon fiber, but apparently there are work-arounds that obviate that concern. http://eaaforums.org/showthread.php?4503-Carbon-Fiber-Panels-Touching-Aluminum-Frame/page2&s=c701021da8a222e4639e6138ef8c66cd...

Thanks, Interesting and useful. I have a Flight Design CTSW and am working with a wing already built. I have access through one hole. I have to build up a mount so am wondering how to embed the captured nuts. Just "glass them in"? Put them on some kind of frame and glass the frame in? I'm...

Has anyone any experience or knowledge of installing the Dynon heated pitot in a carbon fiber wing?

I'm sorry I raised the question. I did not intend to divert the subject. I thought it was a simple question but will not pursue it. I must not have asked it well because the responses are divergent from what I was getting at. I'll drop it. My fault. Carry on.
