    Recommended Autopilot to complement FlightDEK-D180

    Re: Recommended Autopilot to complement FlightDEK- I have the EZ-Pilot combined with the EZ-3 and it just works marvellous! I used to have an S-TEC 30 before which was ways more expensive and ways less capable. With the money I gained from selling off the S-TEC I could buy the entire EZ stuff...

    Autopilot

    Luca, don't worry to much about this: I replaced an S-TEC 20 incl. GPSS by an Trio EZ-Pilot. I discussed the subject priorly extensively with a very expirienced Avionics Engineer. His concerns were yours, as the S-TEC GPSS is ARINC 429 driven, while the EZ-Pilot goes RS 232. Finally he said...

    Autopilot

    I am now speaking very general and generic :) Could it be possible that if maybe one day Dynon launches an autopilot that this may also work with other digital servos as for example the TruTrak's and Trio's ? This might be a big gain and give some folks as me a chance for an easy change but...

    Dynon - Garmin - TruTrak    ?

    I do have a Trio EZ-Pilot and a EZ-3 Altitude Hold System. I as well would love to have it made all working together. I talked already to Trio about. They said that this wasn't to be realized till now, as Dynon doesn't want to share it's data stream with others. Maybe there is still a way to...

    New Screens?

    If that should ever happen, they should have the same outside dimensions as the present ones. So everybody as me, having a number of the actual ones installed, could then partially or completely upgrade to the new product without having to do a major rework on the panel. It would for sure be...

    HSI support for GNS-480?

    Ed, I am nolt using the large screen ones, but I have two D10A stacked on each other, the upper programmed to start up as EFIS, the lower one to start up as EHSI. The functions are just great! I used to have a Sandel before, but this Dynon solution is by far better........   and ways cheaper. In...

    D10A + SL30  CDI not showing

    Re: D10A + SL30  CDI not showing It's in the setup of the SL30. I don't have the handbook with me now, but if I remember right, you need to select no resolver. Anyhow, it's in the setting of the resolver, which you will find in the SL30 handbook. You have about three possibilities and one will...

    Expansion module ideas

    I do agree with Kevin in all aspects. If Dynon wants to sell this box, they need not only to bring a superior product, that gets customers attraction, it also has to be possible adding it to an existing panel with minor mods. This was finally for sure one of the reasons for the big success of...

    EFIS Update

    Thanks very much for coming up with that many cool features as announced yet. As I do understand, it will take a moment until we can start and run the Beta Tests. I am curious....... you got a picture of the EFIS and one of the EMS in the announcement. Is there any possibility, showing of the...

    VSI Display

    Guys, I do agree that an analog display is always easier to interpret than a digital and always the better option. There is just one thing you should not forget: Whatever you have on your VSI, ASI, DG etc. is nothing than a result. It's the result of your attitude. Sure, turbulences can upset us...

    GNC420 OBS

    I kindly disagree: There is absolutely a need to set an OBS on the GPS. Whenever a specific course to a WPT is needed, the OBS has to be set. This could be the RWY track in order to intercept the final approach course, this could be a specific course in order to circumnavigate something and...

    GNC420 OBS

    On both, the GNC420/GNS430 as on the SL30 you can actually twist the OBS, what is in my opinion a much more convinient way than entering it trough the toggle switches. ;)  .....by the way, on "real" aircraft the OBS in most cases isn't set on the HSI either. In many cases it's on the...

    HDG Bug slaved via DSAB

    What about giving an option to have the HDG bugs slaved via the DSAB? So all of us, using an installation of more than one Dynon EFIS, can have the HDG Bug's adjusted by synchronizing them just once. For this reason I actually do have all of them except one turned off, to aviod any...

    GPS vs pitot static

    Thank you Mel for your repord. It's good to share those kind of expirience. It will help a lot to expect what could happen "if" and then for sure, leaving the situation is much easier with this konwledge. Kind regards, Blue Skies and Happy Landings! Thomas ;)

    GPS vs pitot static

    Dear Dynon Team, I would appreciate any comment  on my question. As I could realize, there are more people interested in what's going to happen. This not to be understood as a destructive critics about the product, much more just to know, what would really happen. .........if you know the...

    GPS vs pitot static

    Thanks very much for all the explanations, which are indeed worthfull and interesting. It's always good to have an understanding for the system flying with. My final question is more like this: I do understand, the EFIS uses a bunch of information to generate attitude data. Am I right in...

    FlightDek & 430/530 Whizmo

    I great option would be, if we could have either sources bearing pointers. To make a little more clear, what I would like: Now we have either NAV or GPS on the HSI and it's Bearing Pointers/RMI needles. If you give us the option, to have for example the ILS on the HSI and the GPS on the RMI, it...

    HDG Increase on Take Off

    :P ........I forgot about the inclination, Sorry guys! Many thanks for the advise, I will do it tomorrow and then let you know. But I am pretty sure, as the older unit has it done, the one that works properly. So I guess 99% it must be this. Thanks a lot and kind regards Thomas ;)

    Garmin 430 / 530 NAV support

    Thanks Bill, I absolutely agree, what you say is correct. I was only talking GPS, as the Dynon HSI is not displaying NAV data yet. Kind regards Thomas ;)

    Timer on HSI page

    I have one D10A, used as EHSI. In this configuration I would love to have a timer on the HSI page, not only on the EFIS one, as present. This would help us, taking elapsed times in holds or for procedures and having them right with the navigation. Further, we could leave the EFIS in a clock...
