Anyone else have any issue with the calibration of Dynon's replacement heated AoA probe? I installed the replacement this AM, but never got the calibration as accurate as the previous probe. I'm pretty sure I did one iteration when I calibrated the last probe and it worked perfectly - began beeping approaching the stall, becoming a solid tone at the break.
This AM, I must have done the calibration at least 10 times. Sometimes I would get the beeping just prior to the break, sometimes just at the break - never heard the solid tone. I've flown the previous probe/calibration long enough to realize that during my base to final turn at my standard pattern AS, I have too many green AoA bars for my profile.
I have to think I'm jacking up the calibration process in some way. The instructions are pretty basic - set up fast cruise, oscillate +/- 5' 4 times, enter stall, recover to normal flight, hit stall button. Can someone clarify a few questions about the process - honestly can't remember exactly what I did last time:
The oscillations - is this up to 5' down to 5', 4 times, or does each oscillation count - up 1, down 2, up 3, down 4 - does it even matter?
After the oscillations, you go right into the stall - does it matter power on or off?
I tried several variations on the calibration theme, but kept coming up with similar results as initially stated.
I appreciate any help
