Ahh... Yes. Well the glass panel project, though mostly written, has taken a back seat to getting the real airplane built. My plane will have steam gages until such time I can get around to finishing up the panel.
The biggest obstacle in my glass panel at the moment is the screen... It's tough to find a 10.4" panel that is sunlight readable for a good price. Most everything I've seen that is Transflective or HighBright( > 1000 nits) costs in the $700 range. This is okay if that's the only option I have, but it would be nice to find one cheaper of course. That price does include the inverter(s) and the driver board. If anyone has any info on something that is usable in the $300-$500 range, please let me know! Thanks for the compliments!
