    Fuel flow problem

    JR. Your description of the problem is EXACTLY the same as mine in my Jabiru 430.  So whatever is the cause is common to jabirus and perhaps our setup.   The only thing I have noticed to add is that the odd high flow rates are a bit worse with the electric fuel pump on.  eg at same RPM I might...

    EMS D10 Failed on booting up

    Re: EMS D10 Failed on booting up Don't know if this is a trend but I have seen one and heard of another D100 that did the same thing here in Oz. Both were turned on while the ambient temperature in the cabin was really high. Aussie sun beating down on a closed cabin. Both were sent back...

    IAS stall

    First check the units the Dynon is showing. What type of aircraft do you have. You say stall speed is 65 kilometres per hour - that is very slow. Do you mean 65 Knots (nautical miles per hour?) Is the ASI showing kilometers per hour, Knots (nautical miles per hour) or miles per hour? 65...

    broken CHT wire

    I managed to break one wire on one of the CHT ring probes while changing a sparkplug. The wire broke at the spot where it joins the ring.  I opened the crimp and got the rest of the wire out. I notice that it  (and all the other probe wires are welded together at the tip with a little bead-like...

    Autopilot .... cat's out of the bag now

    One of APs I looked at has a riciprocal heading capability. Sort of "if suddenly in the gloop hit a button - AP takes you on a rate 1 turn around and brings you out of the IMC". Seemed like a good idea to me though never been (or plan to consciously get ) in a spot where I'd need it. Would...

    EGT Probe Distance from manifold for Jabiru 3300 E

    Re: EGT Probe Distance from manifold for Jabiru 33 Graham, I built a Jabiru 430 (same as the 230 but with the back seats installed.) I installed my compass in the tail. It sits about two feet back behind the sound curtain up on the side wall. (to give it some clearance from the wires in the...

    Autopilot .... cat's out of the bag now

    And now for another request :-/ I built my panel with a view to getting an autopilot in the future and all the ones I had seen came in a standard 3 1/8 inch (I think that's the size) round instrument. So I cut a hole, made a blank etc for future installing. My panel is now really tight and no...

    FD 180 and External Tachometer

    I have mine set up in the mode Ken has suggested. It worksfine. Go into the setup mode and make the setting for the right info block for RPM and MAP. That frees up the 1/3 screen for whatever else you need at the time.

    Garmin 296 to D-180

    If I can just modify my last post - I confirm the advice about updating all the firmware, but I just have checked wiring set up and I don't agree with the advice given by Garmin !!! Their own diagram (as correctly stated by Dynonsupport) is for the output wiring via the violet wire (NOT the...

    G296 to D-180 and TT Digiflite 2VS a/p

    Checked my setup - sorry I recalled wrongly. I have connected the violet coloured wire.   As per the Garmin handbook which has a wiring diagram in the appendix. I recall it did not work until I slowed the output rate down to normal. Someone in another post has a reply from Garmin stating they...

    G296 to D-180 and TT Digiflite 2VS a/p

    I don't have the TT but do have the the 296 and D180 so what I say should be a help. I presume if you get it talking to one it will talk to the other. I will check my wiring colours but I have a vague recollection it was the blue wire. I think there were two data out lines. Don't change...

    Garmin 296 to D-180

    If I can confirm the above advice. Update all the firmwares, both 296 and the dynon. I have the same setup and had quite a bit of trouble until I updated the 296 firmware.  As did a couple of other posters. The major problem was having the HSI get "stuck" on various headings and not change...

    EDC-D10A remote magnetometer service bulletin

    Sorry, I am a bit thick. Let's back track. I have a two wire OAT probe hooked up to my D 180 (to the back of the D 180 itself. ) My OAT probe is installed behind panelling and covers and will be hard to get to to see if there is a black band on the wires or not. When I read the bulletin it...

    EDC-D10A remote magnetometer service bulletin

    Can you confirm - Type 2 OAT probe is the type with 3 wires? And the type with two wires (black and white wires) is a ?Type 1? Thanks

    D180 Remote Compass Installation in Jabiru 230D?

    Re: D180 Remote Compass Installation in Jabiru 230 Graham, I have a home built Jabiru 430 with the remote compass mounted in the tail boom. As far as where in the seat it can be mounted I have seen/heard of them being mounted behind the seat in the hollow behind the seats. But I would agree...

    radio noise

    Do you have a fix for noises associated with the D 180? I have a strange lot of noises into my Microair radio and PM 501 4 place intercom. I get a low hum in the background when the 180 is running and this is replaced with a about 1-a-second click when the dynon is turned off. The sound may...

    Connection to a Becker Transponder

    Apart from whether or not it will actually work there is another consideration that may or may not apply. Your local jurisdiction may require the transponder to be calibrated by a proper technician. The Dynon is not certified. Your local tech may not be happy to calibrate and certify a...

    Erasing data in memory.

    I have been downloading the logged data in my D 180 while testing my Jabiru engine but the amount in memory is fairly large.   I was wanting to record small discrete tests but each time I have to download about 3200 blocks of data - some of which is data from previous running. Is there some...
