Dana, Is that your EIS to the right of the EFIS? What are the round instruments that are in your Panel?

Replace dynon4 with panel. With all the hubbub (man, I have no idea if I spelled that slag correctly:-) about saving weight on a KR the Dynon unit would be the ticket. You would not believe the number of RV'er pulling vac systems and steam gauges to use the Dynon. These people are great to work with and are always tweaking things. In the market of EFIS systems they appear to have the most stable system and at the lowest price, $1900, nice combination. One will say, "Heck, I don't have that much in my fuselage wood" but think about it, at a weight of less than 2 pounds with internal backup battery, you are getting an artificial horizon, turn coordinator, DG, slip ball, VIS, altimeter, airspeed indicator, volt meter, G-meter, three checklist pages and I'm sure I'm leaving something out. It is rediculously easy to use and mount. I know the cost issue is a factor, as with anything in aviation, but the Dynon along with the Grand Rapids Technology engine information system and you have a VFR panel for 3K that weighs less than 4 pounds. Less than 4 pounds!! Take all that free panel area on the right and totally do away with it, make some great extended knee room for the passenger you can now take or leaves room to load a tent, sleeping bag, cloths all the way the the bottom of the glare shield to the floor and from the small panel on the left cutout all the say to the rudder pedals. New airfoil, corvair, wheel pants, Dynon and GRT EIS, well don't worry about me flying with ya, cause I won't be able to keep up. I'll go ahead and say it, someone else will say, "but these steam gauges have been around for 70 years". Yep, but we used to use a crank to start our cars...........anybody game for that?? Owning airplanes as long as I have the one constant is always crawling under the panel and sending avionics off to be worked on, bearings going out, needles falling off mandrels. If it's big bulky and mechanical it's going to spin itself to death. One of the guys on the RVlist who flies P-52s, B-25s and host of other restored aircraft when he is not flying an F-16 has already sold his reference vac. instruments and vac. system if that is any clue as to how rock solid this unit is. These things are flying and performing as advertised. Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit Buying Instruments.
