Dynon Auto Pilot for Sky View
I am researching upgrading my RV-7 VFR panel to a IFR one. I currently have the Dynon SkyView installed, dual screens.
Anyone have experience with the Dynon autopilt? I am plannimg to install a Avadine 540.
Does the system interface with each other smoothly and is it user friendly?
Thanks

The Dynon AP works great and will interface with the 540 just fine. It might require the ARINC-429 interface box (not sure).

You will definitely need the ARINC box.

Skyview autopilot
The Dynon autopilot really does a nice job and has all the functionality you will need for IFR flying. Probably the biggest issue will be running the wires from the servos up to the instrument panel. The servos are designed to mount nicely in the RV aircraft.

Might want to consider the remote control box for easier access to the autopilot functions.
As a bonus, if you have electric trim the remote control box will give you automatic trim.

Love my Dynon autopilot, does a nice job in turbulence. Works fine with my manual trim.

Thank you all for the input. I will be going with the dynon AP.
I have dual skyview displays. Is it worth changing out to the newer Skyview HD diaplays?
Cheers,
David

You would love the upgrade to HDX, but only you can say if it?s worth the cost. If you are trying to decide whether to buy the Skyview Touch or the HDX, I?d say it?s a no-brainer. If you already have the Touch, then it?s a matter between you and your bank account.
