Is the Left CHT indicated on the Dynon for the left side of the engine from the pilots view?

When I wired my D-180 using the labeled wires, I think that I have the right side of the engine from the pilots view, and vise-versa for the right CHT.

CHTs from the pilots perspective;

Cylinder #1 front right
Cylinder #3 rear right
Cylinder #2 front left
Cylinder #4 rear left

So if you wired the leads as labeled then they are displayed #1, #2, #3, #4 for each cylinder.

Cheers

Plane reference is if you are sitting in the seat looking out forward. The plane's left is your left. When you wire the #2 Cyl. CHT that should be left on the instrument.

That's why we Navy guys use port and starboard, landlubbers!
