Re: AIRCREW INSTRUMENT

I wanted to test this but had to update the firmware to get the ring first, no bad thing. Mine is sucker mounted, so I rotated it in all three directions for a good five minutes and almost got a complete green ring. It looks as if you have to rotate slowly though. I fully expected to get a message s...

Taken literaly 'self constructed' raises issues if you share the flying? Perhaps a point for the LAA to raise with thier ...

Re: AoA Display for an RV-4

Alpha Systems do a couple, but are quite pricy. They are the complete standalone system though.

Re: Noise reduction

I doubt there is a 'just fit' option anywhere. I know of a 3 blade prop on a O-200* powered WAR FW190. I also think that Airboats in Florida sometimes use 4 blades on a O-200.

Re: Glass DGI
