    Panel Planning Help Request

    @Niall Leslie Unfortunately the capstan model won't work for my application. Just out of curiosity, why a capstan servo? My wife's Virus has AP and both are arm drive just fwd of the parachute.

    It's also worth mentioning that while the units are adjacent as viewed, this is only showing the size of the bezel which sits aft the panel plane. The actual panel cutout is smaller. This leaves connected panel material between the units. Thanks!

    Not yet but it does seem it would be easier to get to with the left hand then having to switch hands off the stick to get to them with my right hand.

    This keeps my right hand on the stick. I really like that idea. I'm not thrilled with the aesthetic, but I'll keep working on it.

    While I agree that symmetry often creates visual harmony and is inherently pleasing, but design rooted in function tends to have a deeper, enduring beauty. Balanced asymmetry, where purposeful imbalances achieve visual equilibrium, can be equally compelling. I think i it is worth looking at In...

    One more item to consider... The PS Engineering PM1200 is the remote head version. I had a close look at it today... it is a small toggle switch and two potentiometers/knobs. Doesn't even have an LED power indicator. This means I can make the faceplate for the intercom significantly smaller...

    Three variants. 1 - Vertical 2 - Horizontal #1 3 - Horizontal #2 NOTES: 1. The lower right panel is a drawer. 2. I can easily remove the intercom from the panel altogether to reduce clutter. That will create an aesthetic asymmetry. Yes, form follows function, but the aesthetic is also...

    Panel Planning Help Request

    It was my understanding that the original Dynon comm was junk and that the newer Dynon comm radio is Trig underneath. Can anyone confirm this? As for the intercom... What you see is a remote head PS engineering 1200 high noise environment intercom which includes push to intercom function. I...

    Skyview PDF/Map at startup

    Hello, I have been through the start menus and manual to try to find the correct setting. How do I configure Skyview so that the PDF + Map are displayed upon startup. Currently, the PDF loads fullscreen and then I have to hit the screen map button to toggle through the various PDF+Map split...

    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    My wife's airplane has a Dynon Skyview and I use the autopilot in expert mode when I us it. No Autopilot panel. I'm building a VFR airplane, open cockpit. I plan on using the plane for X-C flight aside from local around the path flying. It the Autopilot panel useful for VFR flying? Or is it...

    SV-INTERCOM-2S (in an Open Cockpit Aircraft)

    In open cockpit aircraft I have owned, I have used the PS Engineering PM1200 intercom designed for high noise environments. I have run them with Push to Intercom buttons on the stick along with mic muffs. The system works pretty well. Can anyone comment on use of the SV-INTERCOM-2S for use in...

    Dynon SV-Comm - Same radio?

    Thanks Carl for the detailed reply. Can I get the comm and transponder through a Trig dealer? Or since it is branded Dynon, do I need to go through a Dynon dealer? Thanks, Glenn

    Dynon SV-Comm - Same radio?

    Is the Dynon SV-Comm sold today the same radio as the one sold years ago? I remember many problems with the original version and knew several people who replaced them with better radios such as Garmin. I'm working on a homebuit right now and I really like the user interface on the SV-Comm... I...

    Expert mode, IAS missing from joystick menu?

    I'm in the process of learning to use expert mode. I'm trying to command a climb using IAS. I was expecting to see IAS on the joystick knob list in the lower right but it's not there. How do I adjust the airspeed bug? Thanks!
