Using the Skyview display, can I run both a Garmin 430W and SL40 through the ARINC connector box? Or will I need an additional module? I would prefer to use the Dynon comm radio, but you won't talk to me about that yet... ;D

Dynon - can you give us an update on the comm radio? Ballpark best guess for release? Spring/Summer/Fall next year? I don't need hardware anytime soon - I need some indication so I know which path to pursue...

The way our economy and government are going, I doubt if I'll be able to buy a pack of GUM for $3.52 in 8 more years...

Generally speaking, you don't want any transmitting antenna closer than about 2' to any receiving antenna, regardless of the frequencies. Practically speaking, the frequency difference here is so large that the 2' spacing should work fine and has been done countless times already with acceptable...

Do the serial wires need to be twisted pair?

I have one of your older OAT sensors that is shielded 3-wire, but the ADAHRS only accepts 2-wires. Which of the two wires from the thermocouple should I connect to the ADAHRS connector, and does polarity matter?

It would be very unusual indeed for ACTUAL oil temperatures to be fluctuating that much - I would start by checking for a good ground path between the connection and your battery, and good wiring for the powered side. If you have an "iffy" ground strap somewhere on the airframe you will develop...

They fluctuate over what time period? A couple seconds or a couple minutes? Instantly back and forth or smooth changes?

I concur, this is a common issue with TIS in my experience. Some areas seem worse than others, Austin TX is particularly bad.

D'oh! RTFM strikes again...

It's been reported before (and no I don't have the names, just 3rd hand info) that voltage spikes have caused issues with the circuit boards on E/P mags - not necessarily through direct electronic breakdown but through excessive heat development. The OP says the Pmag board was found to be...

Cellphone turned on? I can hear my cellphone transmitting through my Bose X's if I forget to turn it off, the data packet pulses could be mistaken for a Morse-Code like sound.

It's always good to keep a "notes file" of what you're doing with the wiring, because in time you WILL forget! I have a rather lengthy one for my bird so far, it will become part of the POH for maintenance. At each point where I have wire connectors (I prefer the Dsubs) I have on my notes file...

Vern, I can empathize with you on the panel space, but one mans trash is anothers treasure. As I'm building my 9A I knew I would be a bit noseheavy and I've enjoyed being able to move several avionics boxes to a mounting shelf just aft of the elevator autopilot servo behind the baggage...

Can you give us a clue? Are we talking 6 months? 12 months? For those of us building out our panels in that timeframe a little hint would go a long way...

Those are definitely valid points - but I would think it would be relatively simple (and granted, I'm not designing an AP for experimental aviation) to interface with one of the electric trim providers like Ray Allen that include a potentiometer in the trim device for position feedback. With...

Dynon - any plans on interfacing with electric pitch trim devices to keep them in trim automatically instead of having to manually adjust?

I can just hear that now - on non-stalling low airspeed high-G (smack the runway) you get "D'oh!!" in the headset...

Dynon - any update on uncertified UAT RX only recommendations? I already have your transponder installed for ADSB-Out.

Dynon - any plans for a NAV radio, or Comm only at this time? Nevermind - ran across another thread where you said you don't intend to produce a NAV radio. Guess I'll have to find another source for my secondary NAV/COM.
