Many moons ago, when I was young and thinking I could build a plane in two years,
I looked at the instrument options, guided by the excellent articles by Stein
Bruch in Kitplanes magazine.
Then, the no brainer solution seemed to be the Dynon FlightDEK D180. Relatively
inexpensive, lots of features and it could be connected to the Rotax as well.
No other company offered that combination.
Five or so years on it is still on offer, and even cheaper. And that worries me,
particularly since I need to make a choice very soon for my panel. There could
be three reasons nothing has changed:
1) It was the very best then, and still is now.
2) It's old and outdated, but the company is using it as a cash cow.
3) It's old and outdated but Dynon is planning a fantastic update, though they
are not saying so because they want suckers like me to continue buying the existing
stuff and then shell out again later.
Yes, I know they have introduced the SkyView in the meantime but to me that is
another category, and way outside my needs as well as budget.
I would be interested to know what others think. Is the D180 the way to go or should
I wait and / or consider other options?

Subject: | Re: FlightDEK D180 |
Jeroen,
Just for comparison, you might want to look at the Grand Rapids Sport SX + the
EIS4000 for Rotax engines.
I had the EIS4000 in my Europa from my build. When I upgraded my instrument panel
it was an easy choice to go to the Sport SX for my EFIS as you just run a
serial line from the EIS4000 to the Sport SX to get engine data displayed on the
SX. The package has been working quite well for me. Since I am familiar with
the Sport SX & 4000 I plan to install them in the Little Toot Im building.
Price of the SX + 4000 + all probes and harness will probably be about the same
as the Dynon + probes + harness.
Since you are starting from scratch, you have a much larger field of instruments
to evaluate. Tru-Trak also has a nice EFIS at a reasonable price. And there
are probably others as well.
If you have the time and can afford to go to Oshkosh or Sun n Fun, go visit all
the various vendors and check them out in person. See what best fits your needs.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
Bob Borger

Subject: | Re: Oil temps / thermostat |
The only explanation I can think of for the ineffectiveness of the Thermostasis
thermostat is that the resistance to flow of the oil cooler is so low that the
open thermostat valve passes very little oil. Thus there would be little or
no bypass effect when the thermostat is cold.
One solution to this would be to increase the resistance of the cooler circuit,
which is anyway providing too much cooling. Would it be permissable to insert
a flow restrictor into the cooler hose, and if so, how small?
