    shock cooling

    The fact that you have the "shock cooling" turned on at all. If you don't have a turbocharger, there's no such thing as "Shock cooling a NA engine", so turn off that alarm and the alarms will stop.

    remote NAV radio for SkyView HDX

    Ken - you realize that the AIM and handbooks are (while very good advice) NOT regulatory, right? If it's not in a FAR, it's not a rule, it's a recommendation. I certainly agree that it's a good idea to know whether or not the VOR you've tuned in is the one you THINK it is, but there is (to my...

    remote NAV radio for SkyView HDX

    Can you point me to the FAR that requires this, please? I do not recall this from my training. Thanks.

    SV-AP-PANEL Trim With 7-amp Brushed DC Motor

    Yes: https://www.tcwtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/725.0025-Install-Instr-1.3-ST-1-1224V-10A-BSTR.pdf?v=7516fd43adaa This will take the input from the Dynon (or Garmin) trim output and boost up to 10A. No need to design your own, unless you want to.

    Erratic EMS voltage sensor

    All makes sense, and it sounds like you're on the right track. B&C is always great for support.

    Erratic EMS voltage sensor

    Charlie - I'd suspect the B&C regulator first - have you troubleshot that? And adjusted it correctly? They don't fail often, but they can fail.

    Do I need an audio panel?

    If you are only going to have one radio and one NAV, then no - you don't need an audio panel. You can get one of these: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/flightdataAP60audiomixer.php Simple and cheap.

    Choosing an IFR GPS navigator

    Not in the manual, AFAICT. Here are the relevant parameters from the USER_CONFIG file (version 15.4.7 - don't know if version 16 is different): adahrs_xchk_enabled=1 adahrs_xchk_attrecvr_settle_time=128 adahrs_xchk_iasalive_thres=30 adahrs_xchk_iasalive_settle_time=128...

    Choosing an IFR GPS navigator

    Kind of OT here, but I have such a setup - dual HDX, dual ADAHRS, and a G5. The statement "The system will flag you if the two ADAHRS disagree" is sort of true - there is a threshold above which they must disagree before it will throw an error message and flag you. I didn't realize this, and...

    Roll servo- dead or something else?

    Sounds like you broke the shear screw in the servo, due to high roll forces. I'd check your roll trim to see if you were way out of trim, causing high servo forces and eventual breakage of the shear screw. While the servo (with a broken screw) wasn't strong enough to move the control surfaces...

    Replacement for EFIS D10A as Backup for Skyview system

    I have exactly that - a Garmin G5 with a dual 10" HDX, dual ADAHRS system. The G5 is so superior to (and so much cheaper than) the D10A that even if the D10A was available, there would be no reason to use it. Plus, with the G5, there can not even be the hint of a common mode failure in either...

    Radio troubleshooting + squelch question

    Probably an antenna issue. If you're flying a Lancair 360 (which I gather from your forum name), then you'll need to investigate what's being used for an antenna in a composite plane. In my COZY MKIV, using Jim Weir's $5 copper tape dipoles, I can receive/transmit to stations/aircraft 100 - 150...

    Oil Temp Overheating

    What airplane? What engine? What transducer? What units for OT, CHT and EGT?

    VSR on HDX

    When using an external Navigation source (I have a Garmin 175), the VSR will NOT display on the Skyview. I've reported this as a bug to Dynon, but, well, it's not like they have an official bug reporting system, or a Defect Tracking System, or anyway of checking up on how bug reports are being...

    Reclock Servo Arm?

    Grab the arm and turn the shaft until it points in the direction you want. You won't hurt the servo. Maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking...

    manifold pressure / CHT pickup

    CHT probes never attach to primer or injector ports, so these are orthogonal questions. Pull MP from one of the ports mentioned, or from a port you put in your intake ducting above the carb/FI servo. Generally, Lycomings will have a CHT threaded well on the bottom of the cylinder into which you...

    Heading Bug Reprogramming...PLEASE

    I have no idea if there are any other A/P's that can do what's requested here, and there may very well be none. However, given the existing software inside the Skyview system, it would be a trivial amount of work to achieve this end - just tell the system to turn in the direction that the last...

    Need advice about adding radios to HDX

    PS makes a combination Audio Panel and COM radio (PAR200B). If you're going to have two radios (I don't know why folks believe they need two radios any more, since almost all decent radios, including the Dynon/Trig radio, can monitor a backup frequency, but personal preference, I suppose) then...
