    G3X Touch v. Dynon Skyview - anyone with installation experience on both?

    Dynon has the following components/elements apart from user interface stuff- Trigg Txp unit EMS (engine monitoring) ADAHARs ADSB receiver Two servos for pitch and roll You can use a remote magnetometer if you like but I've simply used the one in the ADAHARs on other installations.

    G3X Touch v. Dynon Skyview - anyone with installation experience on both?

    I've used Skyview in the past and have always been impressed with the level of integration (low component count) and weight. Customer support has always been good on both the warranty/repair side and on the technical support for non-standard installations. Subscription free data is a plus. I...

    New Traffic Pattern Advisory Circular

    I fly out of F45 (North Palm Beach County) and PBI records our conversations :) Again, the point is to be safe in the pattern by letting other aircraft know what you are doing with sufficient information to know who you are. As Yak says, their call sign is meaningless while yellow biplane is...

    New Traffic Pattern Advisory Circular

    WRT color v. call sign. No one can see my tail number on my bird. Everyone (that matters to me - the people in the pattern) can see the yellow low wing aerobatic airplane. I could care less if the FAA can figure out from their tapes who was doing what when they review the tapes later. I'm...

    Glider Ad on Rating

    Find someone with a Pipistrel Sinus (not the infection). It's a crazy long wing SEL masquerading as a glider :) It will give you a chance to try a glider to see if you like it then get your rating in short order. I did all my flights in one day but spent a lot more time in the plane to make...

    Dynon Skyview HDX and Trig xpdr interface.

    Skyview install manual has the xponder pin out. The Trig stand alone version likely also has it although it has been a few years since I have looked at that manual. As for data set definition, that likely needs to come from Trig/Dynon as I've not seen it in any of the install manuals.

    Climate Change means no more flying for you after 2050

    Releasing carbon that has been sequestered for millions of years will have an effect. The question is how much of an effect it will have. Given it will have an effect, why take the chance? Fossile fuels are a depleting resource. Why go whole hog consuming them when they might very well be...

    Climate Change means no more flying for you after 2050

    Like many polarizing issues, I see this discussion as an interesting study in how we think. I'm simple. I look for fundamentals I can grasp, test and ultimately feel good about if they pass muster. What I find interesting is that some of the most common sense oriented normal every day people...

    recovering from inverted flight

    zait, I start off with people doing aileron rolls by leaving a second between nose up, relax back pressure for floating butt, input right or left stick, center stick when done then raise the nose. All that blends into one continuous gentle stick movement when the person can recognize and...

    Faro headset vs Halo headset

    I've got several CA and one Halo. Some observations- CA has the best mic I've used in a headset. I think that is where all the money goes. At least one of the CAs is in rotation back to CA (thus the reason for multiple pairs) because the stupid wire to speaker interface has failed and the...

    Dean international in South Miami

    I can tell you that we consider a special notam to clear the airspace when dean students show up at our field for touch and gos. I say that partially joking but they do the craziest things :)
