Russ, Skyview does not yet output that kind of data except for the transponder output. But one of the upgrades in the future is planned to have NMEA data output. I don't know what the timeframe of that update will be, but I do know that it is coming. -- Rich

Bob, I have quite a bit of equipment in my 8, including a 10" skyview, a D10A, a D6, an EMS D120, two radios, a GPSMap 396 and a GTX330 transponder. The fit is tight but it works. I know you must be managing quite a bit of space on your panel, but it can be done. Can I be of help in trying...

Russ, I did not connect the TIS connect select line at all. My transponder always searches for TIS and logs on. I think that function may be used outside the US, not sure about that, but the transponder definitely works beautifully here in the US without that wire connected. You don't need...

Don, I am one of the testers and am currently using the Garmin 330 with the skyview.  Incidentally, it works great and you will be very happy with the traffic presentation on skyview. In answer to your question, you will hook up the 330 RS-232 output directly to an available serial input on...

Larry, As odd as it may sound, I've seen this in a couple of other RVs including mine. My solution turned out to be a bad ground on the fuel sender. Although the sender is mounted into a manifold (I'm assuming you used the manifold Van's sells, like most did) you would think it would be...

I'm sorry, I don't have a picture. But my installation is simple. I just made a "L-bracket" and fitted it to the side of my radio stack, providing a platform above the radios for the ems to sit on. Very simple. When I mentioned the baggage compartment, I meant the aft side of the...

Olivier, I'm the RV-8 beta tester for the RV-8. I've had my ems in a couple of locations through the last year. I've settled on mounting it on a bracket on top of my radio stack, which is on the left side of my panel. Really, the location isn't critical. You could mount it on the aft side...

Rudi, They've told me that there is no minimum distance that they must be separated. In my case as a tester, I stacked them one on top of the other with one set of screws through both sets of holes. They seem to work perfectly. Rich Wilson

I am the RV-8 skyview tester. I fabricated a bracket which goes from side to side of the airplane and sits on top of the upper longerons. The bracket is about 6 inches front to back. I used .063 sheet and riveted angles on both front and back edges. I also replaced several screws in the...

Larry, The answer above, when they say "SV" they are referring to Synthetic Vision, not SkyView in general. You can turn SkyView off by pushing and holding the left button and it will turn off. -- Rich

Ken, I did try this today and it works just as advertised.  I put my canopy contact "open" status as an alarm.  It came up just perfectly. Here's how it works: if any item goes into alarm, the "message" heading above the right-most button flashes red.  You push the button and a message status...

Ken, At least I can help you with the first question. The cable from ADAHRS to screen is a DB-9, with all wires used.  I'm pretty sure you will run a separate DB-9 cable from each ADAHRS to whatever screen it's going to. The other questions will have to be answered by Dynon support but I can...

Hi Ken, In PFD mode, there is an always-resident message indicator at the lower right corner. It would flash if any EMS value goes into alarm. You would then push the button and find out what is in alarm. Somewhat like a military master caution indicator, but not exactly. Contacts are not...

I think this may be in error. I am a flight tester for the SkyView, and the electrical connector, which is a DB-9, faces aft. There is also a small connector on the aft side which accepts an OAT probe connection. The front of the ADAHRS accepts the three pressure tubes -- static, pitot, and...

When I built the bracket I just put a bend in it which set the bottom plate of the bracket to the correct angle. Not much hi tech there, just bent it carefully to the angle I had computed out. I've attached a photo of it. At this time it has 2 EDCs on it because another EFIS is in my panel...

Hi Bob, We did a lot of testing, changing, re testing, etc on this feature in the beta test program.  I know there was a huge amount of programming from the guys at Dynon to accomodate the changes we wanted. My suggestion is this: set your AP74 to "upon mode engagement".  Then, if you want a...

Hi Bob I am one of the beta testers and I also have a GPS396, nearly the same setup you have. I get those nav src lost messages all the time as well. What is happening here is the GPS gets backed up a little and outputs what is called "stale data". Then it catches up with itself and that...

Hello, I have a recently installed Dynon AP in an RV-7A. I am driving it with an Apollo GX-60 GPS over the serial RS-232 port. I am getting severe S-turning back and forth across selected nav courses. On the first couple of test flights, the s-turns happened each time I selected nav...

I recently built a flap sensor in my RV-8 using a round potentiometer which I installed an arm onto the shaft. Then I connected a stiff wire (piano hinge wire, actually) down to the end of the flap actuator. Did you ever get your system working? If not, I can send you some photos of how it...

Most data on the EFIS is presented with a graphic and/or a digital output. It sure would be nice to have a digital reference under the AOA indexer. The indexer spends most of its time fully populated with colored bars and only really comes alive on an approach, or approaching stall, and it is...
