anyone planning on installing LEVIL's BOM

[jamesm]

I am curious  to see how many are thinking on installing  LEVIL's BOM (Broadcasting Outer Module) on their Mooney.

It looks like  Levil  has just NORSEE certification.

maximum speed (210 kt.)  I am assuming this is indicated  did specify in the install manual.

I am wondering  on how to mount it under the wing it would seem that the inspection plate mounting is too far back on the chord line.

I would hate to drill holes the laminar  wing  mount the  BOM Module

That thing has too much drag for an airplane like this but may be great for a 172. But realistically do you really want your backup attitude and navigation based on a WiFi connection to an inertial nav unit? My GoPro won’t connect to my phone when the engine is running.  Inertial isn’t accurate enough to be relevant in this age of portable GPS units . And gps won’t work when it’s bolted To the bottom of the wing.   And there are better ads-b solutions.  It sounds like a cool-looking solution to a nonexistent problem, or one easier and cheaper solved by existing devices.

I have to agree and wonder what the application was targeting.

Normally sales and marketing won't sign off on a project unless the target is well specified and can be profitable.

You can accomplish the same with $100.00 in parts that includes a portable battery..It's called Stratux.. and not have lots of drag sitting on the wing.

I would rather go with the pilot relief tube.

sort of. the ahrs isn't very good yet.

The reason I asked  was I was looking for easy way to install an AOA without having going through  all pain wiring it up. I was  thinking if you could mount to inspection plate it wouldn't a simple test to try it out.  But I don't think you mount on inspection plate on a Mooney. Jetdriven  is right you probably wouldn't want the wifi  display to drop out on  you while on short finial. an the extra drag wouldn't be desired .

 

Thanks for the  inputs

It would be fun if it came wjth a yoke-mounted release button . . . .

The CYA-100 is about the easiest AOA to install. But it does require drilling and mounting in the wing. The inspection plates are too far back from the leading edge. Of course if you have an Aspen, then it's even easier to install... just add the license key and you're GTG.
