We've seen that kind of thing, too. The latest was that our (backup) D-10A just went blank on a training approach. Nice. I agree, not ready for primetime. We have one flying and two in panels under construction. All have been back to the factory at least once.

Beware of internal pitot leaks with Dynon D10A
I installed a Dynon 10A a couple years ago as a back up AI in a warbird.
A recent pitot static check uncovered a pitot leak that was pretty severe.
The leak was traced and verified as being internal to the Dynon D10A.
Disassembly of the unit revealed that the pitot connection to the solid state sensor for airspeed was loose. The static port on the sensor also came loose during disassembly.
This unit has under 10 hours of operation.
There is no way I would depend on this unit as a primary flight instrument
