Something to consider. The panel cutouts for the modules are a PITA. On top of that trying to stack them such that they are butted together (are you show in your photo) translates to cutouts with little structure left. I suggest a max of two modules on each side of the center display, with a...

Of all the modules, you will touch the Knob Panel most. Changing baro, dialing in new track and when changing altitude. This needs to be on the left (throttle hand). The intercom is the least used item on the panel. Put it on the right. For me I have a GTN-650 as comm #1. It is on the left...

No brainer - the Trig. Better company and better radio. In my other builds I did the Garmin GTN-650 and the Dynon radio (made by Trig). On the current build I looked hard at the Trig TX-56 paired with the Garmin GPS175 instead of the 650. It boiled down to the GTN-650 again as I got a better...

I fly with the GTN-650 as Comm #1 and the Dynon radio (with panel) as Comm #2. On the new build I thought long and hard on this alternative: - GPS-175 -Trig NAV/Comm - Dynon radio The GPS-175 and Trig NAV/Comm combo would provide the same funtionality as the GTN-650. The added bonus is the...

Anywhere near centerline on the fuselage (like the tail tie down) will read high from the exhaust gas. Halfway out on a wing is the right place. Carl

The other thought is who cares about feedeing ADS-b into the 540? The SkyView HDX is a far superior platform to integrate ADS-B information. The 540, via the ARINC, is your TSO certified GPS navigator, flight plan displayed on the HDX moving map and PDF HSI. The HDX is your view of the world...

The short answer is yes, it would be worth the trouble. My OAT (not painted) was originally mounted in the tail area. It read ~2 degrees above actual. I moved both OAT probes (one for each AHAHRS) to the near the first left wing inspection bay. Problem solved. I used a single four #22...

Assuming this all worked at one time, then: - The “source” connection to the alternator for buss voltage might have a bad connection. - Odds are the internal voltage regulator has gone south. Search the VAF post on Plane Power for part replacements. Carl

Buss voltage going high cannot be from a bad battery. Only your alternator drives voltage when it is about the battery open circuit voltage. Your alternator or alternator voltage regulator has gone south. What alternator are you running and voltage regulator are you running? Carl

The four #22 conductor shielded wire does have the wires twisted and works just fine for the network. I like this assembly as it is robust. I use the same wire to connect the two OAT sensors that I mount on the bottom of the wing at the first inspection panel (RV wings). Carl

Don’t have a definitive answer for whatever harness you are using, but I do take a step to avoid this potential. I use a single, four #22 conductor shielded wire for the servo network connections. A #20 wire each for power and ground, and a #22 wire for servo disconnect. I use a nine pin D...

What receiver are you using to feed ADS-b information to your ForeFlight device? Carl

I suspect it can’t hurt to try. On my switch thought, I’m now thinking this would be a PITA as the SkyView will be giving you error messages about loosing a module when you shifted. Perhaps the best answer is to install two full SkyView radios! Carl

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is you will need to add a double position, three throw switch. The switch would transfer pins 4, 5 and 6 between the two control modules. One position is pilot has control, the other is co-pilot has control of the radio. Carl

We can always hope, but don’t hold your breath… Carl

Dynon - please tell me you have an updated D10A coming out. If not I’ll be forced to put a G5 in the new project. Carl

Do you have both the primary (200) and backup (201) ADHARS modules installed? If so have you used the SkyView display to compare the two? Carl

Forget the avionics shops. Look for a builder that has done a couple of SkyView installs. Start with your local EAA chapter. Carl

Is the shunt located on the alternator output (reads amps out of the alternator) on the battery output (reads amps out of the battery)? Regardless, the low voltage says you are not charging the battery. I suggest you first verify the voltage reading to be correct. Perhaps more detail on your...

What would be perfect is being able to display the EFIS screen on the iPad. This is not for the pilot, it is for the GIB to see what I’m seeing. The iPad would have no control on the EFIS. The Foreflight display already does as you discribe. It does not show a display anywhere near the...
