I got my D10 in May of 03 and in 04 flew to Oshkosh with it. I love it and have nothing but good things to say about my experiences. One interesting thing; It got real hot in the cockpit on our return home last summer. The D10 went into "over heated" mode (black and white) but keekt on wortking just fine. I now have an insterment vent installed to the back of my panel. "must keep my D10 happy" It sure makes me happy.

Installed the Dynon August 2003 in my Kitfox series 5. have flown 230 Hours since without any problems. Great buy and very reliable instrumenty. Only thing I have not been able to get running correctly is Course Indicator. Very difficult ti calibrate correctly.

Good Investment, looks great.

Hi Wim,

We would be happy to work with you to get your heading indicator working. The first step: are you using our remote magnetometer (EDC)? It's a lot easier to get a good heading with the EDC than with the EFIS alone. Feel free to call us or email us if you would like us to help you with this.

I finished my installation Feb 1, 2005. I'm an A&P/IA and sought and received a field approval from the FAA to install it in my Cessna 172. I fly a lot of hard IFR and although my EFIS installation is as a standby or secondary instrument, I find it corrolates to each of the certificated instruments almost exactly and with the internal battery it is a great safety feature to have available while in the clouds and low IFR. Since Feburary I have logged about 12 hours of instrument time with the Dynon D10A along for the ride. The Remote Compass and OAT is a nice feature to have as you can then display the OAT/Density Altitude and True Airspeed. I can be contacted at johnr@andycable.com and will be glad to advise those wishing to install this unit in their airplane.

Zero time. The install will be finished 4/20/05, then should have something to say. Like some of the others this will be a backup to a all new garmin panel and will give something for the right seat to look at.

I like the D10 (in my F1 Rocket) but I will be selling it and replacing it with a BMA EFIS Lite set. Why? I want a ND (Nav Display) and Dynon doesn't offer one. I know I will correlate heading information (rates of turn etc.) far better with an HSI type display. Shame really - Dynon is missing the boat on this one completely.

I have over 300 hours in my RV-7A behind an original D10. I'm taking my instrument rating checkride next week, so I've been using it a good bit lately. I find it to be rock solid, and my instructor loves it as well. I just got in line this morning for the D100 for my next project.
