Hello,

there is a little problem with my SkyView: Every time the flaps are operated (the motor draws quite a lot of current and the voltage drops below 12V) the cylinder head and oil temperature go up a few degrees (original Rotax 912S sensors). This can be seen clearly in the log files.

What should I look for? Insufficient ground connection between EMS module and engine? Noise in the system caused by flap drive motor? Anything else?

The system ist factory installed so I do not know all the wiring details (yet).

Thanks

That sounds like an insufficient ground between the engine (where the sensors are mounted are grounded) and the rest of the electrical system.

Thanks for the help. It might take some time before I can check that. I will post my findings here.
