Hi
I am using the Dynon D-180 which is a brilliant piece of equipment. My problem is, can I adjust the compass ribbon reading at the top of the display to match my analog compass display. At the moment I am flying with 2 different headings. Have read the user guide and can only find how to set up the 'V' markers. (Page 4-4).
Many thanks Bob1.

Compass calibration is covered in the Installation Guide. There is a full calibration procedure described there, but there is also an adjustment that can tweak the entire heading tape by a few degrees in either direction if that's what you need (usually it's best to re-do the entire calibration though)

Bob- once you do the Dynon Compass calibration first you may find your analog one does not agree therefore IT will also need adjusting- the Dynon system is so good I’ll believe it first every time ;)

Many thanks lads,
I 100% agree with you jakej its a brilliant piece of kit.
Will just try another medium flight using the Dynon compas and sky demon and see if the headings are accurate.
Many thanks for your kind help.
Cheers Bob
