On a dual screen system with two ADAHRS, do you need two USB ports or one? I'm designing my dual screen panel layout.

Couldn't you simply use the Appr/Dep or Center frequency list on the associated approach plate? That would get any airport with an approach.

I want checklists on the SV and am surprised they are not there. I used them on the EFIS on my T210 and liked them a lot. Please move them up the list. I don't want them on the iPad or tablet.

I vote for voice recognition software.

Yes, mine is an ELSA and I'm prepared to do about anything to get it working right. If I get a fix and the manufacturer likes it, you can bet there will be a lot of pressure for them to issue a fleet LOA. Since I can legally put a 2 wire lead on, which ground pin should I hook it to? I'm...

So, you think the vibrating needle movement is not possibly noise on the line or you think that if it is noise the cap won't cure it? You're saying you've tried the two wire probe and it's better in your opinion, or you're speculating that it might be - I'm not sure which you are saying...

Has anyone tried a capacitor from the sensor lead to ground? Has anyone tried a two-lead sensor with the ground lead going straight to pin 16 or 17 of the D37 connector?

Do you want to show fuel that is not immediately available to the engine? The Cessna 401 I flew had six tanks. Mains (tip), aux and lockers. You could draw from mains or auxs and they had gauges. You had to pump from the lockers to the mains and the locker tanks had no gauges, just a light...

When I flew a Cessna 401 with 6 tanks, we had gauges on the mains (tip tanks), gauges on the aux tanks and no gauges on the locker tanks. You could draw fuel from either the mains or the aux tanks but you had to pump the locker tanks to the mains. (You had to draw the mains down first to hold...

What accommodation do you use when putting a quarter wave ground plane on the interior of a carbon fiber or fiberglass airplane? I understand it affects the properties such that a standard size is no longer exactly right. Do some of the odd shapes theoretically take care of this or do you have...

This is true if this is an SLSA. I have a Flight Design CTSW that was an SLSA but I converted it to an ELSA and can legally modify it. Just saying "LSA" may not always be accurate. Saying SLSA would. I've seen you use "LSA" in this sense before so thought I'd mention the significant...

I probably misquoted him and won't dispute the Dynon numbers. However, please educate me on why 300mm on a side is an issue? What we'd be talking about is a radius of about 220 mm on the diagonal (center to the point) and about 153 on the perpendicular side (center to the nearest side). Since...

I just had long talks with a guy who has been an avionics tech for 3-4 decades and a guy who retired from working with transponders at Rockwell Collins. They both independently supported the Dynon post just above.  Both stated that using radial wires (like I do on my HF ham radio antenna) does...

The ground plane should be perpendicular to the transponder antenna and it's radius should be at least as great as the length of the antenna. This if for a quarter wave monopole on a composite airplane. For more than that, I'm over my head.

I understand about ground planes. The question was why a good ground plane can't be installed on a composite aircraft. The prior discussion implied that a composite had problems that didn't happen with a metal plane and I don't see why a good ground plane can't fix the problems.

What is special about a metal airplane vice a composite airplane? Does it mean the antenna ground plane in the composite is inadequate? If so, can't that be remedied?

We may be talking at cross purposes. I used the buttons on the EMS to go to FULL. Then I tried to use ADD to decrease the fuel level. It went to a large negative number. When I selected FULL again, it showed 34 gallons, which is right. Are you saying that in doing this I messed up my...

I added 17.5 gallons of fuel to my CTSW and found that I had 25.5 gallons by sticking the tanks. I decided to correct the fuel level remaining by taking the tank to full and reducing it by 8.5 gallons. Whenever I did that, I ended up with a very large negative number. Can one select Full and...

Not sure where to put this inquiry. I check the box to be notified of replies to threads but get no notification that I can see. How does one use this feature?

Flight Design CTSW with D100 and D120, upgrading to SkyView. There is another CTSW with same and a Dynamik with other Dynon gear on the same field.
