C'mon Dynon, What's Up?

RatMan · #1 03-22-2008, 01:58 AM

O.K. Dynon guys, you kinda, sorta, mentioned in another thread that something new is about to be in Kitplanes in a few days. As you can see by the time this was posted, it's 3AM and I'm lookin for Dynon news. Throw me a bone will ya?

I can't think of a better place to announce a new autopilot than right here!

C'mon, only a couple-a-thousand readers here would be interested. I've already got the trays installed for a D100 and a D180 as well as a spot for a HS box, do I need to allow for another tray? Is it a seperate box? Intergrated into one of the EFIS's? Have it's own GPS? What kind of servos?

You can tell us. We wont tell anyone else.

Look at the add on the last page of this Kitplanes article.

Looks like a sweet set up .....but......my panel is complete.......Trio AP coupled to the Dynon HS34/D100/D180/GNS 430 WASS. I am happy with what I have but the integration of the Dynon Altitude/Roll is very appealing not to mention all the great service/updates/help They provide. Why their almost as good as the folks at TRIO

Looks interesting indeed. Now my decisions are all back up in the air!

They have my attention. I want to see more, but this could really change what I had in mind...

Ok - I'm digging this! You've got my attention....

Wow, that's very cool...how does it fly GPS headings, though? I didn't see any mention in the ad about GPS connectivity.

Our EFIS units have taken in GPS for years now. We use it to display winds aloft, ground track, fuel economy, a full HSI, and other stuff. So if a GPS is hooked to your EFIS, you can fly GPS track or GPS NAV.

If you have a NAV hooked to the EFIS, you can fly that too

Anything that shows up on the HSI can be flown.

... for Sun-N-Fun to see all the new toys! We have a standard 6-pack of flight instruments, Van's engine instruments and no-autopilot in the -8 right now, but really want EMS to lean and monitor properly, recapture some panel space, and to provide alarm functions. Maybe this is the setup! Dual EFIS and autopilot! Sounds pretty good! I really don't mind hand flying even on long trips. Two fingers and a little pressure is all it takes. But it would be nice to set the A/P so I could get a decent look at the maps and weather once in a while.

Now if I could find a quality shop with EFIS experience for reasonable (not necessarily cheap) price, I'd do it!

Maybe a trip up to Stein's is in order! Maybe a couple of days vacation at a shop so I can do a lot of the work myself under adult (!) supervision!

I'd do it myself but really don't want to have the -8 down for long with flying season reportedly onthe way. It's been a long, very cold, very snowy winter.

If I'm understanding this correctly, I can add the two servos to my EFIS-D10A/EMS-D10 setup for $1500 and get all that? Wow....and to think I almost ordered an altitude hold for $1700 last week! Glad I decided to wait until SnF. I love my Trio, but this has my attention big time.
