The voltage seems very high for a 14V system. That should not have hurt the probes but does the system go back to normal when the alternator is turned off?

The K factor is an estimate of the number of pulses the sensor will produce for a given volume of fuel. Every sensor is actually different. Some brands test each sensor and label each with the tested value. This adds cost to the sensor. The Red Cube uses a standard value for all sensors produced...

You need to adjust the K factor. It is derived with simple mathmatics. In your case, try changing the 68000 value to 57800. 17     (57800) __ =   _____ 20      68000

If you install an external sensor on the mag you will only need the one connection to the EMS since it reads the rotation of the magnet in the mag vice the firing signal. You could also use the type sensor which mounts to the tach drive of the accessory case on the rear of the engine. If you...

I am retrofitting a Dynon pitot probe into an RV4. As you know, the wings are very similar. My plan is to mount it to the inspection plate used to inspect the aileron bellcrank. I think you will be able to do the same thing. With flexible lines you will not have to open the pitot/ AOA fittings...

I will take a look. Thanks!

I have heard of folks having an engine mounted RPM sensor which attaches where the typical tach drive cable mounts on the rear accessory housing on Lycoming engines. Do any of you have one you recommend and can give price and source? I have one Lightspeed and one mag. I know I can hook these to...

Please confirm I can leave all wires in the DB9 at the servo as long as I lead the power, ground and disconnect separately at the other end to ships power. I am going to run the servo wiring today and having the DB9 intact at the servo end would result in a much cleaner install. I though I had...

Network wires can be cut to length. The only wires in the Skyview system which cannot be altered without consequences are the CHT/EGT. Those are special and Dynon Support can give better guidance but they will tell you the network wires can be any length.

Have you charged it? Connect the aircraft battery to a charger sufficient to maintain charging voltage with the Dynon on (which can be read from the Dynon). The Dynon should charge the backup battery. It will take quite a while if the backup battery is very low. I would double check connections...

Carl has a very good point. I only fly to one airport per flight plan but in a cross country airplane could have many intermediate points which all need to be loaded. If Skyview is planning to add flight plan input utilizing T routes, RNAV routes and airways, perhaps we could have the option to...

I have seen it mounted under the pilot seat outboard against the fuselage and it worked fine. That said, leading all the lines was much harder and there was not as much clearance from known and future electromagnetic influence. As such I would second Jake's recommendation. I think most are there...

Mine is in the fuselage. There are pictures on the Vans Air Force site of a similar setup on another RV4. I can send you a picture of my servo setup if you cannot find it. Just send an email.

The opening pointing directly forward is the pitot. The opening one the slant is the angle of attack.

Just like Jake says, the problem is going to be with a bad connection. If you are not seeing fluctuations in the panel lights or landing light, you are probably getting clean power and the fault will be found in a bad connection. The Skyview accurately reports the input given to it but when you...

I find that the analog depiction of airspeed and altitude are particularly valuable for high alpha flight. Aerobatics, dogfighting and the landing pattern are where I find them most valuable. Even if only these two gauges were available I would consider it a big improvement. A glance tells you...

Always start with the easy things first. Have you checked the connections at the shunt? Check them all but it seems more likely from your description the small indication wires may have a loose/bad connection. If the battery is staying charged the big wires are probably fine but you might as...

What operating system is on the laptop? There were some driver issues at one point. You may want to check the Dynon support site for the drivers they recommend. I believe that resolved this issue for most.

Where is the weather displayed? There is a great deal of information available on ADSB including winds, METAR, TAF, NOTAMS etc. I am hopeful this will all be able to be displayed on the Skyview but did not think anything but traffic was currently shown. Does this other information display now...

The fuel burn rate is a fuel computer which is different than the quantity system. Have you calibrated the system yet? Was it working before? If so, you may want to consider restoring your backup settings.
