    A little different oil temp behavior - temp drops, then returns

    D180. Single wire oil temperature sensor. 117 hours on a RV-9A. Normal oil temps during flight of about 180F (deemed plausible in previous experimentation/oil cooler testing). During today’s 1.6hr flight, the oil temp would periodically drop to 120F-ish, then return to the 180F range. A...

    EMS setting for D180 fixed Sensenich 2600 rpm

    A/C is an RV-9A with a O-320,  Sensenich fixed prop limited to 2600 RPM and a D180. For best % power accuracy, what should the recommended green to yellow and yellow to red setting for tach be? This is not equipped fuel flow, so it sees MAP, altitude and altimeter, and Tach. Forgraphical...

    D180 ASI error troubleshooting

    My RV-9A has about 3 hours on it now, and consistently shows an 8 Kt difference between the D-180 ASI and GPS four-ways. The ALT is within about 20' through most of the range, suggesting it's not a static issue. Static and pitot were leak checked by the avionics shop without the pitot mast in...

    loss of EDC10 communication

    System is D180, AP74, one SV32 on the DSAB. RV-9A in my garage.  Everything communicating 100% up until Saturday, when 'beep beep'  - enough to make me look up.  EDC10A comm error, loss of compass, loss of oat.  Powering off the D180 did not resolve.  DSAB is up and running fine (not expecting...

    D180 slow to boot?

    My D180 has been rock solid up until today. Today I hooked up a fixed 13.8v lab power supply (rated to 9a cont., 12a 5sec) to my main bus (still under construction RV9A) and fired up the panel. This is not the same p/s I have used previously. Regardless, the D180 takes minutes (3-4 -5) to go...

    D180 to G496 connection

    The setup is a D180, AP74, G496, SL-40 and GTX327. It's been a frustrating day trying to connect my D180 to a G496(and SL40 and ELT). I've used the EFIS D-25 harness pin #22 (serial RX) to the blue output pin on the G496. GPS is set for Aviation In/NMEA & VHF Out at 9600 baud. I've tried...

    D180 + AP74+ GTX327+SL40+ ????GPS

    Hi all, first post here.  I have some of the major decisions made for my VFR RV-9A panel, with most of the HW already in hand(D180, AP74, GTX327, SL40) but I've decided and undecided a dozen times on my GPS choice. My impression, after perusing the the forums here and at VAF, is that the Garmin...
