My Dynon Touch CDI shows 2 dots to the left & right of each wing tip on the centered plane symbol (Pilots User Guide, figure 23, page 4-13). "When in NAV mode, full scale deflection indicates ten degrees of deviation from the VOR radial" (page 4-15). On other CDI's, I've seen 5 dots/marks to the left/right, with each dot representing 2 degrees and a full-scale deflection of 10 degrees.

How many degrees of deviation does each of those dots represent on the Skyview? 3 1/3 degrees?

An update - I spoke to David w/Dynon Tech support and he did confirm that each CDI deviation marker did seem to indicate 3 1/3° when receiving VOR signals. I asked why Dynon would choose a non-industry standard of each marker representing 2° and he wasn't sure. He did say he would mention this to Engineering and perhaps a correction might be seen in a future update?

He also confirmed full scale deflections indicated 10° for VOR's; 5 nautical miles for GPS and 2.5° for the localizer, as is published in the Pilots User Guide.
