My 12 was built in 2013. I am owner #3. I use FlyQ and FlyQ is supposed to be able to transfer charts and plans, etc. over Wi-Fi from the iPad to the Dynon with a feature named "Slingshot". The Dynon is the original "classic".
After a lot of back and forth with both Seattle Avionics (FlyQ) and Dynon, I have determined that BOTH USB ports must be used. One is used for the Wi-Fi adapter and one must have a properly formatted USB storage device. BTW, you need a separate data subscription for this; the one that is just for FlyQ won't do it.
I have found both Dynon and Seattle Avionics to be very responsive to my questions and very quickly. This is a pleasant surprise since so many companies treat email as if it were snail mail - at best. Both these companies are tops for customer service. They could have been a lot clearer, though, in the documentation on how to use "Slingshot".
My airplane has a closed-up bottom behind the panel with a single USB port showing just above my right knee. So far, I cannot figure out how to get at the rear of the box to use the second USB port. The airplane is E-LSA but as far as I know was built exactly to plans so that it could be OK'd as that and not EAB.
If anyone has any easy, practical suggestions for how to get at the second port, even if only long enough to insert one of the two necessary things (and leave it in) then I'd be very grateful.
