Hi Jos,
my Dynon is alive when speed is over 30 knots.
They will supply an updated program soon
and after it will be as Winter ASI eq 20 knots.
I got one good advise: IF you do fast taxiing - be prepared for flying
- radio
- transponder
- safety belts
- trim
- baro
- fuel
- engine
- cowlings
- doors
- yourself
and all the other things must be ready to fly.
Regards, Raimo

Paul, Graham,
No, i won't certainly do the first flight myself. Ivan has kindly agreed
to do that and bring me on type.
As for taxi testing, i don't do fast testing, and only crawled on tarmac.
At least i know that the Winter ASI is working, it showed 20 knots with a
nice headwind. No reaction of the Dynon yet though.
Weight: No vacuum pump, no steam gauges saves a bit. The factory supplied
filler with epoxy was used, about 2 pounds, of which at least half was
sanded away. About a pound of heavier car filler was used for fine
scratches. The painter did a good job, there is still paint left from a
one gallon batch. Added a generator and a second battery, both small. The
interior however is heavier then i would like it to be. I remember Paul's
speckle paint interior, it was looking good and must be much lighter.
Well, i know an area where i can easely save 20 pounds: my owl pot belly
:-)
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
