Default DYNON HDX

very well known A&P in the RV Community with experience building a few RVs so by no means inexperienced; certainly a ton more experience than me so I determined it would be wiser to have him help me with the panel upgrade.

The issue was no previous experience with Dynon components but definitely some Garmin as well as other products. He still stated he had a very difficult time wiring Dynon, especially the com radios. Lesson learned, almost done with the upgrade. I apologize I did not mean to hijack this thread.

I can't imagine why it would be so hard...I found it straightforward and, although time-consuming given all the components, their documentation is very good, the harnesses provided are all color-coded, etc. I didn't find it hard at all.

We just gutted an RV-10 and installed a 3-Screen HDX System including all optional components and wiring in 5 days. This also included the engine monitor and all sensors. The documentation is very good and the overall system is extremely simple to understand and wire.

I've had mixed results with different polarized glasses, it depends on whether the lens maker paid attention to the polarization orientation when they make the lens. I've had some high-dollar sunglasses that I just couldn't use - but I've got a 3-year-old boy at home that loves to wear and "modify" my sunglasses so I generally use the "expendable" $15 pairs from Walmart, and they work just fine.

As for installation of the Dynon setup, I can't imagine it being any easier, it's as close to true "plug and play" as anything I've seen yet.

Does anybody have a recommendation of either a builder or shop that has experience with Dynon products in Southern California - Los Angeles area?

Having several issues with calibration of fuel pressure readings, radio noise, A/P...
