Some handy info for the Dynon HDX users: to get the “local” Baro reading push and hold in the Baro knob for a couple seconds and it will display the closest AWOS transmitted Baro and if no awos available it will use GPS alt for the Baro

Jon Bittner Thank you

[@brianharker6697]

Love this panel layout. Clean, clean, and clean! Thank you for sharing your aviation dream with us. Your truly care about GA and Dynon is doing the right thing by GA. Thank you for showing us the Dynon family. My other pilots friends didnt know what Dynon was until your videos. Like other comments your changing minds and switching other pilots to Dynon. Keep up your videos and would love to meet you one day. GA loves you.

[@PilotFun101]

Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing. Dynon seems to be a nice unit. Cant wait to see more. Keep up the good work.

@@DynonAvionics You guys are nailing it with certified GA. You should put something together with pilotfun101 on his mooney. I knew nothing about dynon until I saw his videos. pilotfun101 did change my buddies mind from a garmin to dynon for his rv. Looking forward to seeing more and thank you

Great video. This Dynon system is so unreal. My buddy is going with Dynon instead of the Aspen and after watching this video he is still glad you changed his mind. Keep up the great work and your love for GA. We still need people like you.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you!

[@jasonchislom4353]

Nice System! I really like it! Do you have a remote compass module? I noticed that the D10 read "remote compass not detected" and it also seemed to be a bit off on altitude from the PFD, Is that normal? Thanks for the content!

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! I did not set the altimeter on the D10 like I was suppose to. I forgot. I am not use to having something like that so I have to add it to the check list. I do not have a remote compass module. At some point maybe it was not something I had to get.

[@FB-su8er]

thanks for this video!

[@JustaPilot1]

Nice rundown on the new gear. Annnndddd you have a Dave Wartofsky micro tower at your airport. Cool

bro......that is a sexy panel man. I can't wait to fly that bad ass Mooney down the road! Great Film!

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! Hopefully soon my friend.

[@williamkeyman9014]

I cant believe I woke up to this video. This is a great layout and congratulation. I been watching you for over a year and you been talking about a panel upgrade and how you are saving for it for a while. Great job by everyone and Dynon Skyview is a great unit. Everything just flows on that panel. It looks like a new airplane. I saw some comments and I think it would be cool to do a meet up and go over your panel. You sparked a lot of interest in Dynon and I also noticed your facebook trending with others saying the same. You always talk about GA as your love story and your 100% correct. Congrats again and keep up the great work.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! I am hoping to put something together in July for a fly in at KMGJ.

[@richmcglari9737]

wow. Love this unit. Can wait to get mine in. Im getting the non certified Dynon for my RV. Thanks for changing my mine from a garmin to dynon! you also saved me lots of $$$$.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you!

[@danielbasovitch5087]

Very nice video Chris. The Dynon is so user friendly with all it's options and capabilities it makes flying very fluid like, without over loading data coming to you on the display. When you get the auto pilot in, I can see long cross countries being a breeze and fun !

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! Your 100% correct. Its a user friendly system once you know your way around and hopefully autopilot gets approves soon.

[@attorneyaviator1318]

Hey Chris. Because I only came across your channel recently I’m catching up with your videos. Love seeing the upgrade in the glass panel. I flew the diamond 20’s with both the steak gauges and the garmin glass at Take Flight. So many tools. Almost seems like cheating. The computer does all the calculations and the autopilot is amazing. Seems like a great plane. Bravo.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you sir! Dynon Autopilot will be available soon for the Mooney.

[@dwightmurphy8991]

That is one sweet panel.

Great video. My buddy did switch from garmin to dynon. After seeing this video and a couple of the other ones you put out he is very happy with dynon. He is also getting autopilot and it is already approved for his plane. I also see your changing others minds on some of the comments. Dynon needs to hook you up. :) Keep the videos coming and your love story alive.

[@raulcartagena294]

Thanks for sharing. I'm flying to Florida this weekend to have mine installed. They should be done around mid to the end of June. I definitely did a lot of research and found that the Dynon was loaded with options and so I went it.

[@PilotFun101]

Awesome! You will enjoy it for sure.

Thanks so much!!

[@MoacirABRamos]

Very nice system , congratulations 👍👍👍. one question . Is that certified for Mooney ? Or you have to change for experimental category.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! Yes Dynon is certified for tons of certified aircraft's now and Mooney was one of them. All the information is on their website.

[@vincedenimarck6498]

Great Info, Good Job on demonstration , Thanks Vince

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you!

[@SyrianRaptor]

Very nice flight and I really liked your new setup as I have the same airplane model/year, my only concern is your high CHT on climb out, I try to maintain 120mph on climb to maintain CHT below 380°on my no.4 cylinder , I know caution range starts at 450 for this type of engines but when I exceed 400° I feel uncomfortable, makes it hard sometimes on summer Southern California days, are you OK to go on higher than 450° on more than one cylinder usually?, I'm considering getting something similar to this over the next 2 years, thanks again for the great content.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you! I’m ok a little over 450. I try to keep it under as much as I can of course on climb out. It was a hot and humid day. Having this Dynon system you can really see everything like the CHT. It’s not really a guess anymore. Real numbers. So now I have to change my ways a little on a few things.

[@SyrianRaptor]

@@PilotFun101 yeah absolutely, I have JPI700 and keeping the airspeed right st 120mph on climb really helps, also make sure your engine baffling is good and close all gaps, on hot days if I'm climbing to high altitude say like 8000-11000ft which is where my airplane would love to be for speed/efficiency I climb to 1000ft agl with max power then reduce power to 21" 2300rpm wait untill CHT under 370 and then 25" 2500rpm and 120mph all the way to cruise altitude, I'm doing this since 1 year and my cht never exceed 400° except 2 flights.

[@PilotFun101]

Pilot Janat thank you sir

[@perimeletiou]

Hello there, is the traffic from the L3 Lynx displayed on the Dynon? Enjoy your videos! Thanks!

[@PilotFun101]

No. The Dynon has its own ADSB In. Which is good if I lose the transponder

[@hedgehoggrill7989]

do you not need an ELT remote switch on your panel. Maybe I missed it.

[@PilotFun101]

Hedgehog Grill No sir. I don’t need one and didn’t have it on the old panel either.

[@joematties7557]

who installed all this? Sorry if you said somewhere in the video, I didn't watch the whole thing. Love the panel and will be doing my Mooney in similar fashion.

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you and No worries. Moyer Aviation.

[@GrumpyBumpy]

Great panel layout. Would you have chosen Dynon if there was no approved autopilot for the Mooney? I have a Navion and the only approved APs are STEC. Not sure how they would work with the Dynon panel.

[@PilotFun101]

Leo Langston Thank you. The Dynon AP is still not yet approved for the Mooney. It will be available early next year. I think Dynon is a great glass panel with money left over for tons of fuel. 👍

[@tpsu129]

Why not use the other large screen for your engine info instead of the small ribbon on the bottom of your screen?

[@PilotFun101]

I do that on long trips.

[@williamisaacs6569]

Hey your Dynon shop at MPO has no avionics guy anymore. Bummer

[@PilotFun101]

Yea. I know. Soon there will be.

Hi Chris, Could I ask you who cut the panel......I want to do the same to my Mooney....Maybe I could use the same CNC machine layout.....Thanks Matt

Hey Matt! I will give Moyer Aviation a call 1st thing on Monday. They are the ones who got it done for me. Sent me an email at [e-mail] for a reminder.

[@johninductivo3313]

Hi. I've only flown G1000 and the 2nd screen serves as the MFD. I'm planning on getting a cessna and this is a cheaper route than buying a cessna with g1000. Is the 2nd dynon more for redundancy because the avidyne serves as gps/mfd correct? Thank you.

[@johninductivo3313]

Additionally, if I get a smaller screen gps like the gtn 650, I can use the 2nd screen as my mfd for traffic and navigation as well right? Like how it is in a g1000?

[@zero0413c]

Just wanted to ask a quick question, how is your M20c easily reach 150kias...mine is 130 ias tops

[@PilotFun101]

My speed is in MPH not knots. I’ll be changing that very soon. I do topically get around 140-145 knots out of her. I reach pretty good speeds due mostly on all the speed mods and the clean paint. It all adds up for sure.

[@zero0413c]

@@PilotFun101 Got it, thanks. May I ask how much it took for you to get the Dynon installed, this setting is really appealing

[@PilotFun101]

@@zero0413c Thanks. Check this video out for cost. I explain as much I as can. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7Eh62slL-lgtk

Can you tell me what the approximate cost was for The Dynon System on your M20?

[@PilotFun101]

Just the Dynon system with both screens and options is approx 30 installed.

[@yurilevenfeld9119]

I see Johnson bar so it must be 20C. Is it worth installing such flight system into the plane that actually costs less than the flight system itself?

[@PilotFun101]

Yuri Levenfeld For what I paid for the Dynon system its was not more then my plane is worth. People spend tons of money on other hobbies with zero return. At least I’ll make back 60% of the avionics instead of zero. Planes are only going up in price as long as they are taken care of.
