That's very interesting. I think that means the uncertificated unit will always be a PDA, never a panel mount. There are indeed enormous costs for STC's for each production aircraft type as a sole sy

It looks like just a pressure probe, two pressure lines, one dead on pitot-like, other a hole on the angle. The two wires are the for the heater. The transducers and processor power would therefore

I should have deduced that from their web site. Guess you're saying that an affordable EFIS that's minimally duplicates what a gyro does ain't real soon. I've been compiling a mental list of truly ob

I'm making my panel easily removable also. I know it's debatable, but I judged it preferable. Working behind the panel on the bench still beats doing so inside the plane with subpanels hanging, minus

I think you're both right! These guys work in the world of production A/C, where any service can't be done by the owner anyway. Some may also feel that plastic connectors are not FAA-sanctioned. Howe

I find it interesting to reference the Europa design to U.S. rules for production A/C, and seems like there's problems. Each tank (unclear whether the reserve saddle is a separate tank, but in spirit
