I think one of you is referring to the Version 14.0 software, and the other possibly the GPS-2020.
You can mount the two side by side under the cowl on that GPS antenna shelf. That shelf used to hold (with the D180 avionics) a side-by-side Garmin 396/496 antenna and an XM puck next to it. The Skyview GPS puck (actually both an antenna and receiver combined) doesn't need to be precisely level; it is not an ADAHRS.
Has anyone already built the checklists for the new version 14 and willing to share?
Dynon specifically tested the stock RV-12 GPS antenna location in development of the SV-GPS-2020. That location gives great performance, even under the cowl.
I don't think we ever said you can't paint it. What we generically said was that just because a location worked for the GPS-250 doesn't mean it would work for the GPS-2020, especially if it was under something or had a less than perfect view of the sky. We did actually worry about the RV-12 location but our tests demonstrated otherwise.
Dynon loves the RV-12. No way we'd leave you guys hangin' or make you do a lot of work for a retrofit!

I've been editing the template file that Dynon offers on their website using the RV-12 POH with some of my own preferences/changes. Still learning how best to abbreviate checklist items and fine tune the screen layout. This is DRAFT - worth the time to go through it line by line and confirm it makes sense. I loaded an earlier version this morning and made some changes since, but as expected Dynon's design is fairly easy to understand. Really like the flexibility to refine any checklist to what you want. (note: I'm keeping my laminated checklist on hand, especially for emergency items. This screen version might prove more convenient, but time will tell. Haven't flown with the electronic list yet.)
So, this file might save you time in customizing for your own use but please poke me if you find sig. errors.

Hello Dynon. Is it still true that the Dynon GPS puck holds all the GPS components and antenna not like the Garmin puck is only a antenna. Does it still hold true that Dynon doesn't recommend a under the cowl location because of the heat of the engine and the hot tempertures of the southern United States that might damage the electronics in the puck.

SkyView has a built in autopilot test in the setup menu. You can't do much more than that on the ground. It confirms things move the direction you expect.
In case you haven't noticed, the latest version of ForeFlight (9) was just released and they've also added an electronic checklist option. They provided a few starter lists for various aircraft types (no RVs!) that can be customized by the user and shared with others.
I'm not savvy enough, but is there an RV-12 keener out there who can convert the electronic RV-12 checklists created for Skyview last year (see link above) into the format that ForeFlight is using ...and who would be willing to share the file with the rest of us? ('I'm obviously lazy and want to avoid having to type them all in from scratch). B.
Did you get a response?
