    Auto Pilot Speed

    Configurable. Setup > Autopilot Setup > Pitch Axis > Maximum & Minimum Airspeed adjustments. I only found one speed setting for each of these adjustments. This was already answered in the 2nd post of this thread.

    To verify, in a multi-display configuration, you would need to load/update this patch into each display?

    Skyview Wish List

    Add the ability to rubber band the magenta line on a current flight plan over a new waypoint and insert. The current method of having to create, name and save a new waypoint, then insert that new waypoint into the current flight plan is way too cumbersome.

    The Maximum and Minimum airspeeds for the Pitch Axis servo are configured on the Setup Menu>Autopilot Setup>Pitch Axis page (see attached). Is that what you were referring to?

    Calibrating the AoA System

    Absolutely sounds safer. Is there a manufacturer guideline or someone else's POH matching your plane that you can reference for their stall figures? That would at least get you in the ball park for your stall numbers. Don't forget you should be doing these stall calibrations at a high altitude...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    Adding flaps alters a wing's camber, changing the shape of the wing and increases the AoA: https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/2013/10/how-does-lowering-flaps-affect-angle-of-attack/

    Calibrating the AoA System

    I heard an interesting debate that calibrating the AoA with no flaps might give the pilot better warning when performing maneuvers, such as circling tightly over a point, alerting the pilot before a sudden "moose stall" occurs and might be least expected. The flipside being as Carl mentioned, in...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    What is a "full" calibration? I spoke to David at Dynon Tech support this week and he told me these 2 rules for calibrating the AoA system: 1) Every time you perform and SAVE a stall calibration, it over writes and replaces what was in Skyview's memory. Performing more and more stalls and...

    Calibrating the AoA System

    How do most pilots calibrate their Skyview AoA system - with no flaps, partial flaps or full flaps? I have an RV-6 with a new Skyview install and am ready to calibrate. If I calibrate using full flaps, wouldn't the visual & aural AoA indicators be skewed/offset when landing without any flaps or...

    Dynon Layout Schematic for a Vans RV-4

    Correct. Any of the 5 ea. serial ports can be used with any serial device, as long as Skyview is configured properly (baud rates, type of data, (sentence structure, i.e NMEA) parity, etc.) and protocols for each device are set the same (Skyview <-> Garmin GPS). Also - the Skyview serial ports...
