You should have a look at the MGL avionics stuff as well, have spoken
To a few guys flying here in Australia with the oddessy or voyager and felt
it
Was the best part of the panel, full package with all the gizmos for a 4 cyl
engine

Hi all again

I am going to update the panel of G-WUFF. At the same time I will change the
engine from 912ul to 912uls, and fit a Woodcomp VP prop with
Smartcontroller. At present it has analogue gauges for electrical system,
oil temp and pressure, coolant temp, temp of a single cylinder.
Quite a few Europa's have undergone this type of alteration so hopefully
there is some experience out there.
What engine monitoring is really needed for the 912uls? I know that in depth
engine monitoring is possible with electronic displays - but does it have
any major advantages for a fairly well understood and reliable engine?
If using electronic flight instruments, is a 4 inch screen adequate? - or is
a 7 inch screen much easier to use?
Are there any recent flight test reviews of the different systems?
How do users find the Dynon equipment?
Is it simpler to buy an integrated system of engine monitoring, flight
instruments, fuel managment, GPS, etc? Or is it easy enough to purchase the
individual bits and link them oneself?

Thats enough for starters!

Thanks

William Bliss
