Alas, the only thing I have been doing is building my fuselage......with a little avionics stuff thrown in to keep it interesting.
Well, my newest toy arrived today. I am trying my best to have redundant glass instruments at a reasonable price in my RV. Well, this one takes the place of the attitude indicator, altimeter, VSI, DG, compass, turn coordinator, skid ball and voltmeter. Thrown in for good measure are angle of attack, checklists, g-meter, clock and timer. I have only had once chance to ever play with a flight director. This is the closest I will ever come to owning one on a beer budget. The buttons on the bottom take you other menus with the remaining buttons asking you what you want to do. It is neat as can be. My unit was #345 so these things are selling like hotcakes. There are numerous people on the RVlist flying with them and report great success. Here we go. This one is level flight right out of the box http://rvflying.tripod.com/dynon1.jpg This one is a 10 degree descending right turn http://rvflying.tripod.com/dynon2.jpg The above two pics were with a flash to show just how bright the screen is in bright light. This one with room lighting with no flash http://rvflying.tripod.com/dynon3.jpg One of the neatest things is the quick ability to set this unit to meet the flying characteristics of individual airplanes. The attitude indicator can be adjusted in flight to compensate for level flight that day, ie., weight. Bugs are easily set for headings, altitudes. You can declutter, add do anything you need. This thing is way too cool..............and it works!! Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider/fuselage Finish kit ordered!!
