 Posted: Sun May 03, 2009 5:23 am Post subject: Dynon 180 remote compass |
 |
|
I just purchased a Dynon 180 for installation in my RV8.
I have an aft battery location and have mounted my strobe power pac next to the battery.
Does anyone have any experience with this combination? If so how does it work?
I am trying to decide between mounting the Remote unit on the 809 bulkhead in the tail or in the right wing.
Feedback please.

.hmmessage P {margin:0px;padding:0px;} body.hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} Purchase a cheap non aviation compass from anywhere as a location testing device. The locations you mention look great until you move the control linkage.
I finally mounted mine on the back of the instrument panel right next to the D-180 itself. I installed an AVMAP GPS panel mount (plastic Air Gizmo) and installed behind this mount a frabricated shelf for the remote compass.
I had bought an aviation compass before deciding on the Dynon so used it as a test device. I was more than surprised to discover how few suitable locations exist on the RV-8.
As an aside C I was able to link the AVMAP GPS to my D-180 and will use it as my primary navigation. You can also tell the Dynon to use the GPS input for your HSI rather than the compass.
I can send you a picture of my panel and compass shelf if you want. Contact me off line. If I get deluged by other requests C I will consider it list worthy and post it there.
I am heading out to the hanger to sit and make engine noises so I will play around with my D-180 to see if I can get my Dynon 'needle' to jump.

More of a flickering dip.Rotating the control stick C pushing pedal C etc. no change.I was getting pretty proud of myself.Then I closed the canopy. The compass dipped to 209.Which again goes to show there is no really good spot on the RV-8. Where I haveit is still pretty good as the canopy doesn't move once it is closed.Let me know if you find a better spot.Vince H.N8432 RV-8 |
