A Wonderful View of the Sky...

... on my Skyview!

And note above the screen my official name: N124BX which means RV12 for Bernoux!
The correct announcement on radio is:
"Experimental RV12 one two four Bravo Xray""

Great day at the workshop!

I am finished with building! I just installed the last components of the engine: Throttle and Choke controls. I am glad that the engine work is over because it was becoming tighter and tighter. I spent one day rerouting the heater control cable, a mistake I discovered when I tried to route the last two cables. As I had some time left, I decided to make the big step and to fire the Skyview and check if I needed to send it back to Dynon because of a service bulletin related to bad circuit boards. The problem to find out is that I first had to update the firmware to the last version which is the one that can provide the information to deternine if the componant has to be replaced. I followed the instructions provided by Dynon to update the firmware and got the needed data which is is a MAC address. I then went to Dynon web site and here is what they answered:

Technical Service Bulletin - SkyView Display Circuit Board Replacement - Revision B - MAC address verification form

You entered the MAC address: 00:D0:C9:C7:C7:97
Your SkyView display does not contain one of the circuit boards affected by this service bulletin. It should not be returned to Dynon, and no other corrective action is required. Go fly!

Alleluia!

I now have a cockpit that is complete:

... minus a few things that are making the Skyview unhappy!
Well, it's just software, fixing it will not challenge my flexibility as much as the engine work did.

After all, it was not a bad day.

Next step: to the airport!

Installation and routing of the Oil Hoses

The instructions although quite correct are pretty terse and the figures although helping somewhat cannot reflect the complex environment through which the routing of the hoses has to be made. All the way during my struggle I thought it would be usefull to have more pictures so I was motivated, once done, to make the pictures I missed. Here they are:
