I have been tossing up installing the same extra alternator system as described. And yes I would run them at same time. I have added more gadgets into my jabiru and need it to drive them all. The Jabiru alternator is only an 18 amp alternator and it only outputs that much at fairly high revs...

Re: Unable to conclude satisfactory AP test JABIRU While Jake is possibly right - as a generalization - don't get too despondent. I have installed an AP in my Jab 430 (and while I am having some problems of a different sort ) the same problem you described happened to me but seems to be solved...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming No, sadly I have RG 58 (I think is the terminology.) But RG 400 is in the pipeline as yet another attempted fix for the radio noise. Gradually working through fixes though none of the multitude of advised and suggested fixes from anybody for...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming And now to complicate matters! Due to our prolonged wet season I finally got to fly the new installation yesterday and found another problem. When I activate the AP the dynon oil temp reading immediately goes to about 138 degrees (C) and...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming I have managed to dramatically damp the noise by putting yet another ferrite clamshell on the loom going to the pitch servo. Funny thing is that the usual advice given about ferrite beads is "Put it as close to the instrument etc as possible"...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming >Does that happen any time the servos are powered up, or only when they're "engaged"?> As soon as powered up.  Flipping to engaged doesn't make it either worse or better. >Does the new servo run go anywhere near an antenna wire?< Yep. It...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming So the fact the buttons are working fine doesn't probably help. Sounds like I should recheck the wiring, again. The second problem I mentioned is related to radio buzzing/static when I energize the servos (which didn't happen with one...

Second problem with my newly added pitch servo. I have two micro-air 760 radios with a PM 501 intercom. I have a separate switch in the power line to the servos. When I power up the servos I now get a coarse buzz/static in my headphones. Goes off when I turn the servo power off (but rest of...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming Went out and did some further checking today. I deliberately disconnected the disconnect wire from the pitch servo, (leaving just the roll servo wire disconnect wire connected. ) And despite this the joystick button still turned BOTH servos on...

Re: Broken disconnect Button wire - warning coming I'm pretty sure I did. Didn't actually pull the joystick apart to check but I am sure I did. My build notes and diagram say I did. Also when I couldn't find a cause I opened the menu in the dynon and I had previously set the alarm to "Y"...

I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings but..... :( I don't think I have ever heard of a builder NOT having to get back behind the panel once the final install was made. I think in the real world you are going to be back under that panel more than you would like. So you you might as well...

I have finally got round to installing the pitch servo in my Jabiru and have a couple of problems. The second I will post as a separate issue. First. I keep getting a Broken Disconnect Wire warning coming on. It seems to happen every 30 secs or maybe every minute. Checking the wiring - it is...

I have finally got around to addressing a problem with my ammeter present from when I initially installed my D-180 2 years ago.   Basically the ammeter is little more than a random number generator. The pattern is for it to start about - or + 1 or 2 then to fluctuate up and down in sort of...

I have been discussing it with a couple of the guys at our aero club tonight and they both have G296's and "EZ pilot" autopilots and they both have the set up on theirs (apparently an easy menu button press sets it on into "Anticipate Mode") and were surprised it wasn't available on the Dynon...

Hi Jake, Yeah I understand. What I really would like is steeringing onto the new track PRIOR to reaching the waypoint - say 1/2 a mile or something so it just turns and smooths onto the new track. I am not that keen on changing the gain to have it turn abruptly after crossing the waypoint onto...

Phantom. I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Basically the AP setup is working in Nav mode from the GPS while I am on the track. It is not hunting but gives an nice smooth following of te track. The problem arises when I get to a waypoint where the course changes direction. The AP/GPS takes...

Just a question to bring myself up to the latest. I have a D 180, AP 74 connected to a Garmin 296. One roll servo (SV32 in my Jabiru 430.) The GPS Nav is working well with the AP following the route beautifully till it crosses over a waypoint and then it turns and hunts to find the track...

Dynon Support "Since we don't have DSAB on the connector, or a remote compass, " Is the compass built into the box? How do you compensate for all the other electrical/magnetic field generators in the dash? Jaba-Who

OK I found the video on the skyview so I have the answers for the last question. But the first one still eludes me. Can I just plug it into the slot I have for the D 180 and plug the looms in, or have I got a lot of rewiring to do? And then... What is the correct story of the AP 74 I have in...

I have been thinking of upgrading but the more I read the more uncertain I become. I have an Flight dek D180 with AP 74 and roll servo (planning on installing the pitch servo over Xmas break) with external compass. I have the jabiru 3300 engine hooked up with 6 CHTs and the EGTs. Can I just...
