I was starting work on configurating my Skyview and found out that version 6.0 is current now while I am running 5.3. This thread initiated by Bob Bogash seems positive about Skyview 6.0 and I am curious to know how many so far have done the upgrade. I think that I have no choice anyway as the only documentation available online at the Dynon site is related to 6.0.

Skyview V 6.0
I have been using Version 6.0 since it was made available. No problems. There are enough changes that I decided to have printed a new Pilot User Guide. I also printed (at home) the install manual pages on autopilot tuning.
Did the autopilot tuning last week in smooth air. Seems OK. Have not yet checked to see how it will be in rough air. I have not systematically checked out and verified each of the V6 changes. Just loaded it, flown a few hours and tuned the autopilot. I am using the ADSB module and find it to be a great plus. I am not yet comfortable with the map interface but confident that will come with experience. |
Thank you Keith, that makes two positives and no negative, I will take it!
In the same thread's spirit, I am not quite clear about configuration/calibrations that have to be performed. The very thorough System Installation Guide seems to address the most general case of installing from scratch for any type of airplane. I understand that we have specific RV-12 data preloaded in the Skyviews we receive from VANs. Is there somewhere a list of the sensors we have to configure/calibrate? Because of posting I read I already know that auto pilot and Trim should be on that list but I would rather not go fishing into this big Installation Guide :eek:. |
Configuration
It has been a while, but as I remember, I just did the trip through the Dynon install guide, following the instructions in each section.
As for RV12 specific, I do not remember much. The trim, is covered by Van's, but very poorly. I got most of my guidance on trim from VAF, not from Van's. In the engine area there are pre-set values which flow out of the Rotax 912 engine choice you make early on. My experience was to do what I could and when something did not work, run it down. Usually I found my problem was with some clear instruction I had skipped in the excitement of seeing it all seem to "come alive". Others will have better recollections. |
