CDF219 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 I just got back some pictures from my bird. I had Scotty at Precision Avionics in Griffin Ga. to do this for me. Since last pictures I added the EDM 900 and the PS8000BT audio unit as well as the I pad Doc for my Mini I use with FLY Q. I like it, I have waited 2 years to see this come together and I cant wait to pick it up now. Chris Ford 4 Quote
carusoam Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Chris, we're going to need another photo... One with charts, airport data, frequencies, traffic and weather on the mini. And another photo... The latest in in-flight entertainment! We used to bring a portable VHS player for the kids... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote

carusoam Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 in this thread there is a reference to a Sporty's version of the iPad temporary panel mount. Best regards, -a- Quote
Pictreed Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 Chris, that looks nice. Did they have to get approval to use carbon fiber? Quote

Urs_Wildermuth Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 I upgraded my 65 C last year with a Aspen and an S-TEC 55x. The 430 I had was also upgraded to a 430W. Additionally, we added the Avionic Straubing Altitude Capture unit, which is coupled with the Aspen altitude alerter to automatically engage ALT HOLD when a new altitude is reached. with this combination of eqipment, the aircraft is now certified for LPV approaches fully coupled with the AP. It also has a flight director from the S-TEC 55X, something I absolutely wanted. The Trig TT31 Transponder will do full ADSB-Out for European requirements together with the 430W. Personally I am very happy with this solution. What is on the "To Do" list, is an engine analyzer as well as a carburettor temp indicator. Re the question whether there is a pitch channel upgrade for existing single channel AP's like the PC driven Accu Flite and Accu Track, yes, there is. It's called the S-TEC 60 PSS System, http://genesys-aerosystems.com/products/system-30alt60pss-autopilot will show both variants. The 30 is a pure alt hold system, the 60 PSS is a full pitch channel with VS, GS and Alt hold. Both work with the Avionic Straubing Alt capture system for the Aspen. 1 Quote
Pictreed Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Posted May 5, 2016 Looking back I see this should have been in the Avionics forum. Im about to go with the Avidyne 540 and put the 440 in later. Has anyone else done this? Quote

They removed the brass looking piece at the bottom and made it one continuous panel, or is the brass hiding underneath? Quote

There were some mods to the panel support but I don't think the bottom was involved. What you're calling brass colored is probably the primed structural horizontal tube that's part of the cage and which I'm sure cannot be cut. Perhaps these pics will help. (The panel had previously been modified with a SW Texas STC panel.) Quote
Pictreed Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Posted June 23, 2016 Bob, all of the switches at the bottom, the throttle, mixture, and prop knobs are all usually mounted on a brass looking strip at the bottom. It looks like they removed it and mounted everything in the same instrument panel. Thanks, Tim Quote

I do like that the displays are full readouts for each device but is it that important? Quote
Pictreed Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Posted June 23, 2016 Adrian, is that a LASAR panel? Tim Quote

Honestly, for me it's just a little 'nicer' looking, and seems slightly easier to read. When we chose to do it, my dad (who was paying for it) liked the mounting better. He thinks it seemed less amateurish. 1 Quote
