Just to have all info in the same thread...
Location is between 51st & 52nd streets, just south of Lindbergh in Camp Scholler.
Start time still 5:30. As in years past, RV-10 builders/flyers/dreamers
are welcome to use the common area we've set up for socializing before during
the week of the show. We're on site now and have tables and shade ready to go.
A few have asked about cost - A few generous vendors contribute to help facilitate
our gathering and there will be a free will donation box available. There
isn't a "recommended" amount and we don't keep score, just whatever you feel
like contributing. This is absolutely a zero profit venture, any funds remaining
after dinner expenses are covered are rolled over into the next year as "seed
funds".
We started putting this together in the very early RV-10 years as a way for us
early builders to meet and exchange ideas. We've kept it going because there
is a constant stream of new builders that can benefit. It's also RV-10 related
chatter every night, a chance to reconnect with people and a chance to meet
new builders.

I've done a lot of research on the subject. The best option I've found is
the Autozone 14118 from a 1976 Chevy Luv. 60 Amp, turns the right way, and
externally regulated. I'm not sure why its not more popular unless there's
something I'm missing.

Just want to mention this so it doesn't get overlooked in the enthusiasm of getting
a more easily replaceable alternator.
If you are using an automotive alternator make sure you add overvoltage protection
to your charging system. B & C has a crowbar module or there's a more modern
option from Perihelion Designs. If you don't have one of these and your voltage
regulator fails it can kill a bunch of your expensive avionics.
Couple that with a lithium battery that has OV protection built in, in an overvoltage
situation it disconnects itself from the circuit, there's nothing to absorb
the high voltage and then all of your avionics are done before you even think
about hitting your master switch.

DO NOT USE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS.
In the absence of further guidance, I tried my Y/D out this morning with the default
settings. Holy Crap I thought the tail was going to come off it was oscillating
back and forth so forcefully. I was grateful for the additional disconnect
switch. On the ground, I called support and left a message. In the meantime
I found a thread by "GaryK" on the Dynon forum. I tried his settings and
it worked great. Much different than the default settings.
As an example, his AY gain is .005 and the default was 1.0!
the sensitivity was also 10 compared to his 4. Below are his settings which I
highly recommend as a starting point. I mentioned same to Dynon when they returned
my call.
Settings are:
Torque. 90
Sensitivity 4
Rudder Gain .2
Rudder Rate 0.020
AY Gain 0.005

Do you have sky view or AFS EFIS. I have AFS and default setting seem to be fine.
I wondered if yours was skyview or I better check mine closer.

I have SkyView. They just posted new default parameters on the Dynon forum. They
said there was an update glitch causing the defaults to get askew.

Update for those of you that it may apply to. Turns out with latest AFS update
they added the ability to customize to separate ignition setting in the RPM control
menu in those with AFS and SV-EMS. This new ignition section was set to
default of two pulses per 2 revolution but for six cylinder should be three pulses.
One quick change and all reads OK. One of those ah ha moments I guess
