Quick! Document it, and call it a "feature"! 8-)

For the purposes of altimeter setting, anything within the nearest 50 miles is going to be within the margin of error and will be acceptable, I just don't see this being a major issue, perhaps I'm wrong. If the pressure gradient is so steep in your local area that the error within 50 miles is...

Dynon - is this suspected bug limited to the RV-12 software? Or generic to the Skyview family?

Dynon - that's not really the point of the question though. The problem is that the Dynon-equipped aircraft wasn't seeing ANY traffic, and that's a problem. Many people have asked many times for a dual-frequency receiver and Dynon has not made any comment or commitment to going forward with...

There is a long history of RV10's with Dynon autopilots, and I don't see the problems with them that your friend is talking about. Perhaps he just doesn't like Dynon?

Gary, I changed course and went a different direction on this, thanks.

How about a subsection here on the support forums for folks to buy or sell or trade Dynon products they have or want? You certainly have a good number of early adopters looking to upgrade, and there are always new entrants to the market looking to pick up budget equipment. Myself, I'm looking...

Additional to that, the float is usually located at the wing root, and with wing dihedral the float may well be at the top of its movement range before the last pour begins, so it won't register any movement. This is particularly true on the RV series.

Dynon - for full IFR backup instrumentation, I'm looking at the D6 or D10A as a backup display to my Skyview in case of screen failure (or primary ADAHRS failure) in IMC. A complete standalone screen is valuable as-is with it's own magnetometer and ADAHRS just as a visual device, but can I also...

I've got one in my panel, and I'll second that. It's a good, cheap audio panel with a lot of functionality.

What was the location? I know where I operate it's not uncommon for me to be at 4500 (2000 agl) before I can be identified on radar. Is it possible the traffic was out of radar coverage there?

Dynon - followup question regarding switching the datasets - once the files are stripped of extraneous data and contain just the fuel calibration info as described earlier, is there a specific file name format that needs to be followed for Skyview to recognize it?

Maybe it's just a quirk of the roof design, but in my hangar I have a 40' tall roof with some fiberglass skylights (this is actually an 80'x120' barn, sharing space with farm tractors) and I get a solid lock very quickly with my GPS-2020, even with the doors closed.

Do we need to specifically push the firmware to the transponder with this, or will it automatically update when we load this version?

I had about 9-10 knots error in mine, and as Skysailor pointed out the port was fine - I found a leak in my tubing. I'm flying an RV9A. Once I got that leak fixed I'm showing less than a knot difference between GPS 3-direction calculated versus Dynon calculated TAS.

Wish I was at Sun 'N Fun this week to see the Garmin booth guys cryin' in their beer. Their corner on the market is visibly crumbling.

Ha!! Just learned something good! It bugs me that the zoom in/out was "backwards" with respect to rotation, I figured I just needed to live with it, now I know I can change it!

I would kind of like to see the "option" of having a keyed hardware module to place somewhere within the subpanel structure and be included on the Skyview Network, that would enable the panel to operate. Remove the panel without that module, and the panel is useless. It would be a very odd thief...

Dynon - with the standard resistive float sensors, during the calibration routine if only the empty and full points are set and the 2-gallon routine is not followed, will the system assume a direct linear response between the empty and full points based on the voltage difference and display the...

My first thought would be to just file the insurance claim and be done with it - but this is a valid question actually. I'm not entirely sure how it would be accomplished without a keep-alive circuit bypassing the master switch, which I'm not crazy about either. Perhaps a hard-wired...
