I am building a Kitfox SuperSport and will anstall Skyview with autopilot. Has anyone done this already and would you be willing to share information regarding servo mounting positions so that I don't necessarily need to re-invent the wheel? Will the SV32's be powerful enough for this installation?

Thanks for the information, I do get servo slippage when the sensitivity is set over 18 or 20. The response to any bank angle is very slow, but I have not tried setting the bank angle to 0 yet. I will do so as soon as I get another opportunity. I will also check the servo arm, shear bolt and...

RV-7 with AP74, D100, EMS D10. Latest 5.4 software works really well on altitude hold. This plane has always wandered around the Hdg, Trk and Nav. After sorting out issues with the 5.4 upgrade, some test flights revealed a serious wandering or up to 20 degrees either side of the Hdg or Trk. No...

Solution!! The problem was that the EMS D10 did not upgrade on the network for some reason. After the upgrade, I ran the "Detect Firmware" software and it showed all 5 units upgraded to 5.4. While troubleshooting, I ran the same "Detect Firmware" and again it showed all 5 units at 5.4. I...

I have checked the system out. The way I configured it was to connect the GPS serial output to Pin 19 Aux Serial Input of the D10A EMS. This means that I did not need to disconnect the input for the GPS when connecting to my PC. I have also lost the ability to share data between the EMS and...

Thanks for the information. I did not disconnect anything, but I will check for continuity as you suggest. Lastly, if I restore settings from a back-up prior to the 5.4 upgrade, will that revert to the firmware version at the time of the backup?

I have upgraded to 5.4 for the Auto-pilot upgrades on an RV7. D100, D10A and AP74 with Lowrance Airmap 2000c GPS. The Nav and Trk functions worked fine previously but pitch sensitivity and wandering on the Trk function prompted the upgrade. Firmware update went fine, but the GPS no longer is...

It does seem odd to me that the Rotax 914 is not well supported. I have found this with AFS and when doing research on the Garmin G3X. Are there that few 914 installations?

Thanks for the answer. I don't mind purchasing it separately, but the real issue is that I need to get it working correctly with the SV. I will most likely ask for help in a few weeks when all the goodies arrive.

I am planning an SV installation with a Rotax 914. Will the UMA N1EU07D differential fuel pressure sender work with the Dynon EMS 220? If not what fuel pressure sender should I order? Should I order the Rotax 912 EMS sesor kit and simply add the UMA fuel pressure sender?

I have just completed and flown a Kitfox 7 with the SV. The installation was a problem with the magnetometer inside the ADHRS, it would have been much simpler with the magnetometer in the wingtip. After much testing with a hand help compass I found the area in the fuselage behind the baggage...

I have just completed an installation of SV. It looks and feels great, but there are some questions I have about some of the functions. 1. There seems to be no other function available for fuel flow other than just displaying current fuel flow. Can we expect more functions in the future similar...

I have just completed an SV installation in a Kitfox 7 with a Rotax 912ULS and ran the engine today for the 1st time. On startup I had no Tach indication.  Firmware version 1.5 with Rev B manuals. I went through the wiring, I checked it against the manual and found everything as it should be. I...

Re: skyview dirty rf ...testing... Hi I just completed an installation today. I was warned by another installer about the high possibility of RF interference. Sure enough, it is a problem. I have an SL40 in a Kitfox 7 with a new Skyview installation with one 10" display. The SL40 shows an rf...

Jake, That post certainly got your attention! I do however take your point. I received a package from a customer with the documentation supplied to me by my customer. I did check the site for firmware updates and I also downloaded the latest installation guide, which I did not print as I had a...

It would really be helpful if the information on warning light could be in the current Skyview installation manual. I have done installations in 3 aircraft of the previous generation EFIS and EMS products, I found the documentation thorough and clearly explained. I cannot however say the same...

Seems like this did not attract any attention. The solution. the Dynon supplied harness was incorrect. The firmware update could not be done as with the the serial PC cable connected through the 37 pin EMS plug. I installed a serial cable as per installation manual on the 25 pin EFIS plug and...

I installed a D180 in an RV6 about 2 years ago using the Dynon supplied wiring harness. I am in the process of adding GPS (Garmin 296) and serial output for a Garmin 327 transponders. I tried to update the firmware and could not get my PC to communicate with the unit. I have done this...

Thanks, I found the service procedure on the web site. I have also tried to connect the servo arm to one of the inner holes on the servo arm. This will reduce the sensitivity, but this does not seem to be an option because the push-rod comes up against the servo when the elevator is full up. I...

I installed an AP74 and 2 servos in an RV7 and with a bit of tweaking and fiddling eventually managed to get the tracking and NAV functions to an acceptable level of smoothness. The problem with the pitch is that I cannot get it better than about a 20ft either way up and down occilation in...
