I've powered on all my avionics before buttoning up the foward top skin on an RV-8. One of the things I've been trying to figure out is whether or not my GNS430 navigation data is actually connected to Skyview via the ARINC429 interface module.
When Skyview is on and the PFD's HSI source is selected to GNS430, I power on the Garmin and it gets to the test page where the CDI is half left and glide slope is half up. But there is no HSI displayed on the PFD, only the heading indicator. The HSI "Source" data block shows GNS430 in magenta.
What might I be doing wrong?
The airplane is inside the hangar if that has anything to do with it.
