I have a SkyView that I bought in 2011, upgraded recently, and am just now getting ready to install. I bought an additional SkyView just recently. Can I use the current or modern installation instructions for both or do I need to use the right manual for each?

Is there reference information available that gives information on the electrical and RF frequency characteristics of carbon fiber as used in aircraft such as the Flight Design? My question has to do with VHF and HF comm frequencies, transponders, grounds and so forth. If Dynon has some...

I support a Skyview checklist.

Are the USB ports used for anything besides updates? For example, would a USB connection be how one obtained data logging information? I'm thinking that one per screen might be useful in that case, and I might put one for each screen right on the panel so I could access the data readily.

This is from Wikipedia, so is somewhat suspect, but it summarizes one of my interests in AOA indicators and why I'd thought one in an optimum field of view might be useful. "In takeoff and landing operations from short runways, such as Naval Aircraft Carrier operations and STOL back country...

This looks like the bent type that mounts under the wing. I was asking about the boom pitot tube that projects straightforward, as with the Flight Design planes.

What receiver is used as a socket for the Dynon boom pitot tube?

The jets I flew didn't bank at 30°.

Are you saying that the AP uses 30° bank instead of standard rate of turn?

Mine is an E-LSA so I don't need to talk to Flight Design at all. My plane came with one pitot/aoa boom on the right wing. I will have to either drill a hole into the leading edge of the left wing and mount the normal boom or use the under wing pitot/AOA boom. As I understand what you said...

Any special considerations if I add an additional pitot AOA boom on the left wing of a Flight Design? I will run two independent 10" SkyView systems. Obviously, the two AOA systems will be about 20' apart. It would seem obvious that the two should read as close as possible. I assume each...

I was set on the SV 10", but this whole discussion got me to looking at alternatives and the G3X offers a list capability.

I don't know how Dynon knows what our preferences are unless we communicate them. Then Dynon can make the decision as to what is done. It is Dynon's job to decide on features, not the job of us on this forum to beat down others so they don't speak their mind.

I don't understand your point. I've said I had and used a glass checklist. Is there some presumption that if I had one on the SV I now wouldn't use it? I'm not presuming that others should use them - simply stating my hope that Dynon adds the feature.

I don't know how bodies of water are depicted. When I was doing a lot of primary instruction, I used to caution the students about relying on the shape of bodies of water to verify a checkpoint. Dams don't move, but the lake gets big and small, changes shape and otherwise is untrustworthy. If...

I spent a lot of time flying synthetic vision at the OPL in Iowa City when Prof Schnell and crew were developing this kind of idea. We flew all kinds of backgrounds, including the squares of different sizes and colors, other shapes, some kind of wire net look and others. The squares was chosen...

I'm sad to see that the idea of a checklist in SV is becoming a popularity contest. I'd like one for those of us who would use them.

Will the expert signals be standard ones that can be read by generic autopilots or will they be proprietary and only able to be handled by Dynon servos? I understand autopilots like TruTrak will be able to read some Dynon autopilot signals but don't know if they can read all.

I have one I bought nearly two years ago and never installed - sat in the box. I did as Trev suggests. Powered up fine. Passed the first test a few weeks ago but not the second. Got the RMA. :) Will go back in it's original box. Well, it's scheduled to go in this summer so I guess...

Flight Design CTSW soon to have dual 10" Skyview w/AP & ADS-B. Part of the equipment on hand, designing the panel and buying the rest soon.
