The Skyview system that came with my RV12 SLSA had to be replaced under warranty and Dynon sent me a rebuilt unit early in 2017. Since then I've seen periodic "Standby System Failure" messages and more rarely, screen failures where the EMS or flight instruments screens drop out. Each time that happens I've been in touch with Dynon and they say "probably a wiring fault" but I've had an avionics tech check wiring on two occasions now. (We did not check the roll servo connections and AHDRS connections and will schedule that next.)
So, I've sent the Skyview unit in twice this summer, once to have the software updated when it locked up on my software update, once to have it checked when that new software failed to detect and update the other components. Last time the screen went haywire I landed and downloaded diagnostic files, but my Dynon tech rep says they only prove the problems occurred, without saying why.
Advice would be appreciated. I only trust the plane for local flights now since I've had to land without instruments.
