Dynon D1 in turbulent weather
Unlike many I went flying yesterday with winds of 15 gusting 30 so quite turbulent at times, have had the D1 about 6 months and overall very pleased and impressed with it but in real IMC yesterday we moved it from the pilots view as we got suspicious about its information. I don't think the unit has or is developing a fault but from day one, one comment I made was I wish I could damp down the sensitivity. Yesterday when in a really bumpy bit it was almost like it picked up the instant 50ft height change or 15 degrees bank with a small time delay as if it was working hard and struggling to keep up. I then toppled it on purpose and it seemed without actually timing it, that it was several minutes to recover, but it did recover whereas normally even that is PDQ taxi in, in torrential rain and it was rock solid and behaving normally. Maybe just asking a bit too much for what is just a damn good toy at the end of the day? More playing and experimenting now required. I have had it set up in front of the DI as the least needed steam driving dial in the primary scan as my initial concern was it gives so much information and data put it to one side and I was concerned about screwing up a well ingrained scanning pattern.
