I'm getting close to first engine start of my RV-12 and I need to defer to the wisdom of those of you who have gone before me. Here are some of my areas of concern:
1. Prior to engine start, is it necessary to upload the latest Dynon firmware
to my FlightdekD180? My Dynon was shipped in January of 2011, prior to the 5.4.3 update.
2. When I turn on the master I've found the trim switch does not move the
elevator trim tab and the wing spar pin light comes on and stays on. Pushing the light button to over-ride doesn't make the light go out.
3. Spinning the prop with the starter (top set of plugs removed) for up to 15 seconds does not cause the oil pressure to change - stays at zero.
4. I've read the threads on downloading the electrical schematic from vans. I was able to download it, but when I went to open it, no joy. Evidently I need some kind of program that I don't have to open. This is a zipped file and I have WinZip 7, but it isn't working. Dang, this is frustrating.
Appreciate any help you can give ....
