The AP tuning guide has the answers. Below is an excerpt but there is more to read. The Flight Director provides a valuable tool for evaluating the performance of the AP. If the autopilot is not able to keep up with Flight Director command bars, sensitivity should be increased. If the...

I believe it will remove the previous calibration. You normally do more than one stall (or close to it) and tell the SV system to record that value. I did one stall dirty and one clean during calibration. When on final, in the flare, I hear the tone come in as a near touchdown. I try to hold it...

Flap position is not part of the algorithm today. It is in the newer AFS system (Dynon owned). I helped a friend with his AFS install and he would have preferred the SV solution versus having to install a flap position sensor, which he opted not to do at this time due to the amount of work it...

You bring up another question in my mind. I have my probes powered via the EMS pin 15. Will the aforementioned method of booting with the backup battery also power the capacitance senders?

I've tried several, including Wing-X, FlyQ, FltPlanGo and Foreflight. I like ForeFlight the best but, for the money, FltPlanGo does a great job and both integrate with the SV system well. I still have a ForeFlight subscript but keep FltPlanGo installed as a backup. Not as user friendly but gets...

Thanks. I did search Mouser and ACS but could not find the same ones in your photo. Just now searched Digikey and found them. Thanks!

On my RV-7A, I opted to keep plastic things off the firewall and used adel clamps to mount it to the engine mount tubing. This also made wire routing easier.

You need to tell the SV system which pin (of several available) you are using for trim indication. This would be under EMS configuration in the SV setup.

Frank, Please confirm pin 23 (white/green: signal) is properly configured in the EMS for trim.

Sounds like you'll need to contact Dynon support directly via phone/email.

You will need to re-pin the connectors, most likely, per the Dynon manual at the autopilot servos. The other end will need to be de-pinned from the TT controller and set up per the Dynon manual for power, ground and network. You should not need to run new wires.

I have the same alternator on my RV-7A and it charges the batteries fine but I did have a similar instance before flying where the backup battery was low. I did as recommended above and charged the ship battery while one screen at a time was on (not both since the 8 amp charger could not charge...

Something to consider about EarthX batteries was discovered by a RV owner. He had a faulty alternator that went crazy with over-voltage, which caused the EarthX battery to shutdown (could not absorb the excess load as can other batteries), which resulted in many of his panel gadgets, including...

I shortened them as you did but love those connectors. Please share your source!

The possible charge status is as follows (from the install manual): CHARGE STATUS: CHARGING/DISCHARGED/CHARGED/STANDBY/NO BATTERY STANDBY means the battery is not charging, discharging or charged. Also, per the manual, it could take up to 4 hours to fully charge a battery that has been...

The 10 and 14 have cables down the center of the cabin, which allows for easy installation. Planes with cables down each side would be more difficult and likely require installation in the tail. I'd expect someone in the EAA world will make something work in the future, if Dynon and Vans don't.

Yes, you can set it to TA (traffic alert) and it will filter out non-TA traffic. There is a setting for the PFD and another for Map displays.

I've been working to adjust mine as well but not much in the manuals that I could find around this topic.

The general rule I have heard and experienced from many sources is that the flow transducer should be as follows: Carburetor setup: Between engine driven fuel pump and carb, above the level of the carb. Fuel injected: Between the fuel servo and flow divider.

Not sure it is the same thing but my AD-AHRS are stacked.
