Dynon - I have all my avionics online currently except my roll servo, the right wing is off currently while I'm finishing some wiring on the engine install. Do I need to wait until the roll servo is connected to update the software from 5.1 to 11.0, or can I go ahead and update all the connected...

That sounds suspiciously like vibration and a loose connection (power or ground) somewhere. Did you happen to see the bus voltage when this was happening?

I am approaching first engine start, I have dual Skyview with EMS and my fuel pressure and oil pressure both show top-of-scale with no pressure on them. My manifold pressure gauge indicates correctly, and all three share the same power source and ground. Do the oil and fuel pressure senders need...

Please add that functionality to the wish list for future software upgrades!

Dynon - with the new video adapter that you've released for the Skyview, the next OBVIOUS  :D question is using it with FLIR. There are some FLIR cameras available on the market (not cheap, but available), can you give us some guidance on which ones would be compatible with the video in? And...

Thanks - I did so, I think I would like to have all the screws the same since the difference stands out a little more than I thought it would. I'll just need to change out the platenuts now...

Dynon - on the Skyview screens that I ordered, they came shipped with #6 hex-head cap screws for mounting the units for the panel. When I received my COM radio I was a little surprised to see that I didn't get any of those. Was this an oversight? In any case, I had some #8 black hex-head cap...

Velcro in general is not a good idea - the glue will weaken over time (as will the Velcro itself) and the unit will find itself supported by the wiring, which is bad news. Assuming Dynon says it's kosher to put anything on the outside surface of the EMS you might consider using epoxy to...

Dynon - we are now 12 weeks past original ship date for the radio, and 2 weeks since last (non)update on the status. Is this going to happen or not? I really wanted that radio unit in my panel, but in the absence of any real substantive information about the unit I'm quickly approaching the...

Some of us fly out of unmarked private strips not on the database, we don't all use "approved" airports - turns out the airplane doesn't know the difference. 8-) I have to select "inhibit" in my 172 for the terrain awareness system at my home strip for the same reason.

+1 here for a checklist function.

Dynon - we're coming up on 3 weeks from last status on comm radio delivery - do you have any anticipated schedule yet?

You might want to consider lifting your block an inch off the bottom floor or covering it - on the bottom skin as you are now, the block is prone to drill shaving and other trash drifting onto it and shorting points together. I used DB9 connectors here for just that reason, despite the fact that...

To clarify - by charts you mean IFR approach charts, correct?

And once you've tested it with a magnet - if it stuck to it, it's not only not ideal, but it's REALLY undesirable now...   ;D

Ed - I like this idea quite a bit - what pressure sensor are you using?

Poor timing for your comm radio problem, with Garmin rolling out their newest just in time for OSH. You're going to lose some orders over that.

I'm interested in the ARTCC freq's, "Nearest" will handle most of the queries I have but finding them via moving map for another location would also be quite helpful. 80% of my lookups are for app/dep and center freqs for my current location to activate flight following after takeoff from a...

Third here - I use this function frequently in the certified world.

The transponder takes it's power separately from ships power, not the Skyview battery - so #2 will leave you with a functioning screen but no transponder.
