Older Skyview
Hello Dynon Support
Will there be some sort of trade-In or RMA type work offered to the one of us with older screens regarding the new features of Skyview Ver 11.0??
My Skyview SV-700 is not that old and with the recent updates to Skyview ( Touch, Video etc..) I'm starting to feel like I already have a dinosaur in my RV-4

I agree with the sentiments above so there is more than just one of us.

Just wondering where is Dynon with the fix for their pitot heat issues. It has been months if I am not mistaking that they agreed there is an issue with it yet to resolution.
Considering that this is a safety concern, I would have hope to see something by now.
Rather disappointing

The heated pitot re-design and testing is coming along and is (and has been) our highest priority project. A robust design, prototyping, and test cycle does take some time to do properly, as does setting up the supply chain, tooling, and other manufacturing considerations. We want to make sure we deliver the best possible product possible out of this effort. We want this as much as you do!

We don't currently have a a hardware upgrade program in place for the SV-D700 (a trade-in to SkyView Touch will work for 10" display owners), although it's possible that we'll put one together. No promises at this point, but we're listening. We take pride in offering a single common platform that gets all of SkyView's new features into the entire SkyView fleet. In fact, I think this is the first feature (because it isn't "just software" and has an internal hardware revision dependency) where that hasn't been entirely possible.

Thanks for the update. Is there any projection at this point? Cold season is coming up and I am debating waiting or possibly seeking alternatives if it is not going to be available within this year.

Are you planning to develop an AOA indexer, such as the one AFS offers that can be mounted on the glareshield in the pilots view?

I developed one of these for the d10a several years ago. It sold modestly and since Dynon added the audio alert, it became somewhat redundant.
Nevertheless, audio alarms can be alarming to passengers, so I developed a device that is superior to both the visual display and audio alarm... A Haptic stick shaker that works with the D1x, SkyView and G3X.
It provides a progressive pre-stall warming that is hard to ignore yet does not alarm pax. It's an open source hardware design, available from MakerPlane and was demonstrated at Oshkosh.

Nevertheless, there's still some interest. Could we see at least a diagram/schematic/plans set on Makerplane for such a device? I'd rather have glareshield visuals and audio than a stick-shaker, and my passengers will just have to deal with it.
