Great idea cutting in a view of the plane, made it very professional. I went to Galveston once. Drove from Houston to get some oil for the B17 the Confederate Air Force was flying the next weekend. Also met the guy who did a ONE WHEEL touch down with the B17 to simulate the landing by a damaged B17 during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nice guy. His exhibition was spectacular.He lowered one wheel only and flew all the way down a very long runway with the wheel on the ground holding the plane level. Cheers.

From: Martin Koxxy Here is a photo of the panel in my just completed Earthstar eGull (electric powered). Not a Firestar, but might still offer some ideas. The 8.4" Samsung tablet in the center will normally show a moving map sectional (I use Avare). When hooked up to bus power (via a simple 12V-5V adapter) it can run at full brightness, which is about as good as it gets on tablets. On the right is a GRT Mini-X EFIS with all the options- amazing product, highly recommended. I replicated the USB on the back in the panel, for easier software updates and downloading flight stats to a memory stick. Under the EFIS is a "Cycle Analyst" to display battery data, etc - not something you would use. It provides a handy finger rest for operating the EFIS buttons in turbulence. On the left I have a Flightline FL-760 radio. Since my plane has an electric motor, I thought I might get away with a ceiling speaker and gooseneck mic (and PTT on the stick), but the feedback between the mic and speaker made me reconsider. I am now installing jacks for a headset.

From: Martin Koxxy It is hard to tell from the photo, but the glare shield does extend about 3" back over the panel. Even at full brightness, the tablet cannot touch the brightness of the GRT EFIS next to it. I don't know of any other tablet or phone that would - probably due to the need to conserve battery. And even the best tablets cannot touch the GPS and accelerometers in a dedicated aviation instrument, not to speak of pitot, static and OAT input which allows the EFIS to provide density altitude and wind vectors. But as a moving map / sectional, the tablet is well worth the panel space.

I would like information on how to install limit stops on the elevator up and elevator down positions. I don't see this in the manual that came with my used Mark3. See attachments. A down stop is installed but needs modification; however I see no up stops at all. An up stop is needed because the controls stick hits the seat. Your input, especially photos, are appreciated.
