I have a Garmin 650 to drive a typical Skyview installation with servos for pitch and roll.  From the beginning I noticed when flying a LPV coupled approach that when Skyview transitions from altitude hold to vnav there seems to be quite a lag before the auto pilot catches up and gets back on...

I fought a similar problem for months.  I had errors in the report and transponder complained every so often about loosing gps and my lpv approaches would downgrade to lnav.  The signal level on the 650 was good. I tried changing antennas, coax, the 650 itself with no change.  I moved the...

I had trouble with the autopilot holding glide slope while adding flaps also.  What I do now is add a notch of flaps near the faf while in altitude hold mode before intercepting the gs.  I don't try to add additional flaps until at decision height and after I have disconnected the autopilot.  I...

I have a garmin 650 hooked to Skyview with their transponder and adsb equipment.  On a flight from Indiana to Florida for Sun n Fun I had three warnings from skyview that the transponder lost gps input.  It happened at different times during the five hour flight.  While at sun n fun I visted the...

Gary, I also appreciate you taking the time to give us good information regarding ground planes.  I have always thought of antennas and ground planes as a little bit of black art.  I wonder if you could comment on using 1 inch wide copper strips as a ground plane for the vhf com antennas.  I...

I have a problem that I have lived with since my first flight about 15 months ago.  I have a lancair with a fiberglass wet wing that holds 50 gallons on each side.  The wing has an 8 foot capacitance probe to sense the fuel level.  I have this hooked to dynon's capacitance to voltage converter...

I just finished an avionics upgrade that included replacing a sl30 with a Garmin 650.  I ended up unable to squelch the 650 no matter what squelch settings I used.  The only exception was the frequencies between 133 and 136 did squelch but as I got lower it got worse.  I have an all fiberglass...

I have the same problem with fuel level and the radios.  Whenever I transmit the fuel level goes to zero.  I have lived with it since the beginning but I to would like to dig into the problem and solve it.  I had the cht and egt problems and sent the engine module in for Dynon to update.  That...

I must have the same problem. I loaded the new database a couple of minutes later it hadn't transferred so I stuck the usb in the second screen and loaded it that way. All seems ok. I figured i forgot to plug in the ethernet cable and i would check later.

While attending air venture earlier this week I was told that vertical power had an update so us guys with a vp-200 and skyview can once again begin updating our skyview system. I have scoured their website and can not find an update. Does anyone have this update? Marc said it was on their...

I just realized I don't think I have a way to install the ADS-B module.  I am using port 1 for the transponder, port 2 for the sl-30, port 3 for the vp-200 engine data, port 4 for vp-200 gps data and port 5 for dynon's gps.  I always thought I could use the transmit side of port 5 if I...

After the trip to Sun n Fun I've realized the future of Vertical Power's VP-200 and Skyview working together is ify at best.  Vertical Power's position is that Dynon broke a working interface and they will fix it when they can.  I asked by Oshkosh and they said maybe.  Dynon's position is they...

Grand Rapids at Oshkosh was saying they are developing a certified gps. I was surprised because my understanding is that a company the size of a Grand Rapids or Dynon can't justify the large investment in time and money it takes to certify a gps. I haven't checked any further since all my eggs...

I did as EDP suggested for my eck elt and used a garmin18.  In fact I found that suggestion on the eck web site.  However the input voltage is only 8-30vdc with the cigarette lighter attached.  There is a regulator inside it to drop the voltage to I think 5 volts.  I have it mounted next to the...

I'am one of those folks that Brantel is talking about.  I have a pilot wife who agreed to make the right seat her home as long as she had everything on the right side that I had on the left.  I lot of time and effort was spent laying out the panel.  If you hold a mirror vertically in the center...

I had an extra oat sensor that came with the engine sensor package so I decided to mount it on the engine side of the firewall.  I could not find a range on that sensor in the specs.  When I setup the gauge to show its temperature skyview limits the high end to 150 degrees.  Is that the limit? ...

Since we can't use the built-in USB cable with the RF filters.  Does anyone have an aircraft friendly USB extension cable source.  I have only been able to find pvc insulated cables.

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys for the support.  I am patiently waiting hoping Dynon finds time to output the data.  I am doing body work so I can afford to wait. Bob, Having installed the VP unit I think it simplifies the installation and operation not complicates it.  I don't have a single switch on my panel...

Re: skyview dirty rf ...testing... I have two Skyview 10" screens in my Lancair ES that is still under construction. When I first fired them up I noticed that my SL40 (only comm with an antenna on it) had noise on it. No matter what frequency. By raising the squelch level quite a bit I got...
