Insrument Panel

Post by mstineman »

Greetings,

Looking for suggestions - which instruments are needed/preferred by you experienced flyers?

Thanks,

Mike; most of the instruments you'll see in Air Campers are the minimum required by the regulations for day VFR flight and are pretty basic. From that point, it depends on whether you have a water-cooled or air-cooled engine and whether you want any additional information such as cylinder head temperature and the like.

Mike,

If you're coming to Brodhead, you'll be able to attend the hour and a half SolidWorks session, where we'll be showing how an Instrument Panel for a Piet may be modeled up.

At that time, anyone who wants some of the files I've generated may have them for the asking ( and maybe a cold drink....)

The solid works forum was well done (despite tech difficulties).
