Lowell ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:27:55 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: EFIS From: "darinh" Lowell, I put in a backup ASI and altimeter. I guess you could also argue a turn coordinator would be good but I really only fly day VFR anyway so if I know my altitude and airspeed, I am good to go. -------- Darin Hawkes Series 7 914 Turbo Kaysville, Utah Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=256671#256671 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:25:17 PM PST US From: "fox5flyer" Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: EFIS I'm using the Grand Rapids EIS, but an early version. It contains all of the engine instruments including OAT, engine hours, and more, plus parameter alarm. It puts a lot of instruments in a small spot on the panel so I could have a large glove box for charts, CDs, etc. Never had a problem with it. What I have on the panel is Airspeed, TC, Altimeter, Artificial Horizon, Vertical Speed. Also have a Fuel Flow meter and G meter, but that could easily be eliminated as it's never had a useful purpose other than to tell me how bad my landings are. Most of the EFIS units I've perused have way too many things crammed into a small screen for me to interpret under pressure. Just my opinion.

I've got 11 hours on the airplane and find myself glancing more and more at the Dynon. It's the first airplane I've had with an EFIS and I must say I'm very impressed with it!
