    OAT probes are often connected to a magnetometer. Do you have a magnetometer installed?

    Dynon Announces New Transponder

    Yes, Garmin does have ADSB in/out in some of their transponders. However, this feature comes at a considerable cost. $$$ Depending on your design / architecture / cost requirements, the "all in one box" product may not always be the best solution.

    Wing mount SV-Mag-236

    The RV-8 is one of the few aircraft that can take advantage of the Dynon Fast Track mounting system. There is plenty of non-obstructed space between the rear of the SV-HDX screen and the front baggage bulkhead. That is not true for other RV models. I used two Fastrack trays to mount two back...

    Dynon Announces New Transponder

    Smaller and lighter than previous model. Other than footprint, my impression is that there is nothing new from the perspective of functionality and operations. You still need to purchase the SV-ADSB-472 Dual Band ADS-B Traffic and Weather Receiver. Am I missing anything?

    Programmable Soft Key

    Not sure but the MAP key is already programmed to do this. Press the MAP key for 2-seconds and the airport diagram will be displayed

    Using EMS input 23 ( General Input Type C) for detection of Fuel Pump Running

    I use to have a small LED on the panel that would illuminate when my boost pump was on. It was on the periphery of my vision and was frequently ignored. When I upgraded my system to Skyview HDX I created a digital indicator and placed it directly beside my RPM gauge. Now it’s always in my...

    Carburetor Air Temperature Sensor Problem

    Hi Knut, I have an O360 with a carburetor air temperature sensor. During startup and taxi the Carb Temperature will always read much higher than the OAT. I.E. OAT 27°C, Carb 50°C. Once I start my takeoff roll the Carb Temp will rapidly decline. Carb Temp = OAT around 100 KTS IAS. Best...

    SkyView Transponder Update

    My situation: Dual HDX / ACM. Transponder hung after update. What I found is that just rebooting (1, 2, 5 reset) the HDX screens didn't fix the problem. What did fix the problem was shutting off the battery master switch and insuring all systems were powered down before turning on the...

    Indicated voltage

    What are you seeing for amperage when this occurs? Check all your cables. Make sure they are well seated. Pins 1 & 2 on your EMS harness is where voltage is measured. Pin 1 is typically your main bus voltage, pin 2 would be for a custom point. Measure the voltage coming into pin 1. If...

    All CHTs and EGTs jittery < 2400 RPM, fine above

    Need more specifics. I would start by downloading the EMS data log. You can then review the Excel file for correlations and anomalies. You can also upload it to Savvy Aviation to graph and analyze various sensor readings. You mentioned that the problem just started showing up. Depending on...

    EGT PROBE PROBLEMS

    Could be a bad probe, a bad connection or a problem in the EMS. Check the spade connection crimps. If still reading incorrectly, swap the spade connectors from #1 EGT with #3 EGT. If #1 is reading incorrectly then it’s a bad probe. If #3 is reading incorrectly then the problem is either in...

    What's Everybody Flying?

    RV-8. Finished it in 2011 and have flown it for 1423 hours. Original panel, which I wired and installed, was a once and done for me. When it was time to upgrade the panel I went with a Skyview Advanced Panel. Love the ACM!

    I like #3! Consider changing the switch face plates to white lettering on a black background to match the Dynon face plates

    Custom Waypoint Selection and Flight Plan Integration

    I discussed this with Dynon at KOSH last year and was told that "it was on the list". They wouldn't say if it was at the top or the bottom of the list but they did say the request has merit and that it was a feature that was frequently requested.

    Custom Waypoint Selection and Flight Plan Integration

    I eagerly await Dynon's implementation of modifying the flight plan by dragging the route on the screen to the desired position (rubber banding).

    HDX WiFi Problems

    How many devices do you have connected to your HDX system? HDX currently only supports 1 WIFI connection. If you have more than one device connected, you will see disconnects. Both my iPhone and iPad will automatically connect to my HDIX system. If I want to use one of these devices in...

    121.5 one button tuning

    This should be added to the Dynon "wish list" of enhancements. The last thing you want to have to deal with is keying in a frequency during a helmet fire.

    Panel Planning Help Request

    Design is well balanced and all functions can be easily reached with either hand. Other than preference, I don't see any upside or downside of using either the vertical or horizontal orientation. As others have mentioned, since you are flying right hand stick, left hand throttle, I would keep...
