I have edited the above post about engine cranking - problem solved. The starter 2AMP fuse had in fact blown. Replacing it provided for several more full cranks with no subsequent problem.

We are thinking that it was a "weak" fuse. That fuse also powers the fan inside the AV-50000A and the spar pin detection circuit. All is well again.

Outstanding news, I'm a few days from engine start and you had me a little skeerd. Good Luck going forward.

Default ohhh and more

The new fuse panel we received works great, now if skyview will cooperate. The GPS would not come online and i think we found why.




Internal Voltages : FAIL

This is a skyview internal error and we have to ship it back to dynon for service. Just wanted to see the pretty maps

I just got my FAA Registration certificate - today March 29th. The envelope with the application arrived at the FAA offices in OK City on either March 22 or 23rd! Now that is fast response!

BGL - I haven't found anything in the PAP that was so Skyview-specific that it made a difference in the checkout, except one item about checking the AP-74 autopilot module - which we don't get. Marked it "n/a for Skyview"

Default For what it's worth

I ordered the Skyview on February 8, received on March 30 confirmation by VANs that shipment is 3 to 4 weeks down the road. That would be about a 2.5 months delay from ordering date. I have not ordered the Rotax yet.

Default Running wires back to the cone

Bill H & others

I used bill's technique getting those wires, the one with 4 wires and the 2 twisted ones, through the center and into the cone. Loosen the bracket above the rudder pedals to fish down through the first 2 bulkheads which have the added snap bushings. Then the fun begins.
I loosened the 3 screws/nuts holding down the left side of the nylon wire/tube holders on the floor. I used some long forsepts (sp?) to feed the wires through and then through the tight snap bushing before you go into the center structure behind the seats. I had wrapped the end of the wire groups with spirled masking tape which worked okay but could have been a little stiffer. The twisted wires had the wht/red wire which I dropped off in the center and then used #30 safety wire to fish it out to the ELT location. The last bulkheads and into the cone was no problem comparied to the forward section.
I re-did the 9 pin d-sub and OAT plug (small wires are a little tough) and hung the ADAHRS. I will hook-up the pitot and static tubes later.
Feel free to email me direct with any questions but there is a lot of good information in this thread already.

Default Sanity check time

We are currently installing the conversion harnesses and I wanted to check with others to make sure I'm not missing something.

WH-00025 Skyview Autopilot Harness is not used at all. True or false?

We have located the intercom on the left hand panel and we would like to use the WH-00042 Intercom Conversion Harness connected directly to the Flightcom 403. The plans on page 42D-20 shows connecting the WH-00042 to the WH-RV12-FLTCOM403 harness. We have been unable to locate the WH-RV12-FLTCOM403 harness and hopefully don't need it. Is this doable or do I need to contact Vans?

There are two long wires (PRP/YEL) and (YEL/GRN) that are not labeled but I believe these are the wires described on Page 42D-19 - one color is reversed - and it says to cut and heat shrink if you have the lighting kit. Is this what others have done?

My WH-L456 and WH-L458 are white in color versus the (YEL/RED) desribed on page 42D-23. Just an observation.

We routed the wires to the ADAHRS without removing the pitot tubing - not terribly difficult but tedious. A pair ot two of long handled forceps comes in handy.

Regards,

DWB
