| Subject: | Re: Engine mount bolt sizing |
Nikolaos,
Thanks for your insight - I will check that before I finish. Vans official answer
was that it was OK based on the bolt length - but this is important also...

Thanks Jon! I was particularly curious about the 7" tablet. I'm glad to h
ear that you think it is useful on that size. The 10" would show more data
, but it takes up more room too. I know you have a small cockpit (yes, siz
e does matter!), but do you think the 10" would be more useful? At this po
int I'm trying to decide if I want a 7 or 10 inch model.
I've got a 5" Galaxy Player (it's what I already had!), and it is just too
small to be useful. If I zoom out far enough to see where I'm going, I can
't read the screen - if I zoom in to read the screen, I can only see about
10 miles ahead!
Thanks for your report!

Hi Paul,
I purchased Naviator a couple months ago. I'm running it on a Samsung Gala
xy Tab 2 which is a 7" tablet. I fly VFR only so my need is for sectional
s. I am happy.

You might try the application "Naviator" on your Nexus tablet. There is a
30 day free trial in the Google Play store. I'm still in my 30 day window,
so I don't know if I'll pull the trigger on it or not, but I think it is c
ertainly worth a look.
I'm in no way associated with the product. A friend just recently mentione
d it to me, so I thought I would pass it along. I would be interested in y
our evaluation if you do look at it. I've tried it on a 5" device which is
just too small.

I flew several times recently with the new Google Nexus 7 tablet mostly for
listening to music through my Bluetooth routed to my audio panel. What str
uck me is how nearly perfect the 7" tablet is as a kneeboard replacement. T

iPad mated with Foreflight or ??? that may be a very nice choice for cockp

Hmmm... Makes me wonder, can I plug it into the USB port on my Skyview
to upload the routine data files needed and will it run on ship's power
thru the USB cable from the Skyview? Better ask Dynon....

Well. some very crude "measurements" - all based on my old and tired eyes..
With the zoom level set such that I can easily read the details, in full
screen mode, and my position scrolled to the 'bottom' of the display; I can
view about 40 miles 'forward' and about 10 miles either side of my route.
Zooming out one level more, I can view about twice those distance. The
details (frequencies, altitudes, etc.) are still readable at that zoom but I
have to work at it. This is ok for semi-familiar areas or just general
x-country navigation.
I suspect (no experience) that a 10" unit would be uncomfortably big in my
little (RV-3) cockpit. If there were enough panel space, mounting something
this big on the panel would be really neat (like Mike Dwyer has done in his
Q200).
One thing my little brain had to absorb during the switch to the EFB was the
inability to see the "whole sectional" - I didn't realize how much I looked
way ahead when on an x-country. You can still do that with an EFB but it
takes scrolling. When doing this, the 'return to my position' button is your
friend. The other operational change that I made was to make better use of
my old, panel mounted, Garmin 296 GPS. Things like airport and airspace info
are all there. Previously, I would refer to the sectional for this info and
so it has taken some effort to switch from looking at a sectional to
referring to the GPS instead. The result of this is that I need to
reference the tablet less often.
I haven't yet figured out a good way to view MOA type airspace details on
Naviator. It is probably there though. Stay low and go fast, I guess.
