Dynon Skyview owners, Two or one? Opinion
Have all, 10 Skyview with ADSB ready to install in my 9A but was wondering about a second Skyview in the 7" display. After playing with the 10" Skyview I'am NOT SURE I like SHARING the 10" MAP display with the engine instruments system display..I thinking as a hogster and want a 7" display for just the engine gauges. Your thoughts, one or both??. If you are flying the Dynons whats your preference?????? Do you prefer all map? or split??? Thanks

Although not Skyviews, I am very glad I have two EFIS screens, as well as the backup steam gauges-----this way I can dedicate one EFIS to the engine stuff, one to the map/navigation stuff, and still have flight instruments available.
I would suggest you consider having two, if not three screens to make it unnecessary to flip around through different screens to get the needed information displayed.

Not flying yet but I have sat inside with going through the pages of my 2 10'' Skyviews and I think I am going to like having the second screen to show full screen moving map with the PFD and EMS on the screen infront of me. Skyview has a swap button as well so you can easily swap the 2 look at the Moving Map infront of you and then swap them back. Lots of options and versatility with having the 2 screens.
Again I havent flown it yet so i cant say this is what will actually happen but I think im going to enjoy it.

One
There are too many other cool things to put in the plane. I have a 10" and love it. I would kind of like 2 x10" but the cost and panel space not available. I have a buddy with a 10 and a 7, and he is pulling the 7 (might sell it is brand new??) as it is so much smaller, its not workable for him.
If you can do 2 10s, do that. If not, stick with one and love it. Cheers, r

You can fit two 10" screens in the std panel of a 7, I think the 9 has the same sized panel ?
Here is my setup.
This is the view I have on the pilot side,
The FO view
I found the screen labels hard to read on the 7" screen, it would be best to test some 7" screens to see how clean they are to your eyes.

See my post #718 on this thread, from last night - http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...t=1743&page=72
There is room to fit 2 10" Skyviews in the 9 panel, with another central radio stack, if you are careful about what equipment you choose. The transponder interface function is built into the Dynon if you use their transponder. The 430W in my case handles primary nav/comm also, so you don't need that radio deck.

2 10's
I have two 10's opposed with a garmin stack in the middle. I love the layout, thank you fabian, as my wife and I both fly. The cost difference between the 10-7 is minimal in the grand scheme. Plus your pax will be thrilled.

I have two 10's, side by side, in my 9A, and love it. The radio stack is to the right of the of the screens. Works great for me!

I'll argue the other way on this.... For my mission, I am perfectly happy MOST of the time with a single D100 screen. I have two 7" screens (one on each side of the 9), and one is a D100, the other a D120. They talk, of course and it is easy to configure a display to use both sets of data. The main reason for a D100+D120 is that way I got the second screen. My wife flies occasionally, thus having a screen on both sides is nice. If it was just me, a D180 would probably be fine. Again, this works for my mission.
I have looked at the skyview screens, and agree with Jamie that the 7" skyview screen is a bit tough on my eyes. The 10" display is exactly the same as the 7" but easier for me to read.
Just my 2c.
Greg
