The beginning................ Alan R. Wehmer - builder

See below for more pics..............UPDATED 02/22/2008

I put in a Dynon FlightDEK D-180 in addition to a few redundant mechanical gauges such as Air speed, Altimeter, Vert. speed, magnetic compass and turn & slip to make it "look" like an airplane :o)  I used a King Nav/Com and King transponder and an AVMap EKP IV:

Next one will use a panel from www.MGLAvionics.com It has a larger screen and GPS is built in!!! (actually cheaper, too)  They also have a radio that works with the panel and includes an intercom.

I will be using the Hipec Covering System with Polyfiber fabric.  Hipec can be ordered from Falconaravia.com or click the Hipec picture
