yes, this will be an Experimental/Amateur built CofA.

I think I remember Danny Howell saying that the instrumentation in the
Lighthawk was going to be just a Flytec hang gliding MFD.

It would be nice not to use up panel space for a dial altimeter, but
on the other hand, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be either,
and the 3.125" altimeter is very easy to read.

ahhhh................descisions!

Hi Brad,

I believe you will still need a certified altimeter in your glider.

If it is being built in the U.S. under FAA amateur built regulations, then
I believe none of the instruments need to be certified.

I am in the process of designing the instrument panel/layout for my
HP-24. Still a ways to go before I will need it, but it is raining out
and my CAD program is running and so is my
imagination..........so.............I was reading about the new Tasman
Data Module on Paul R's website and see that it provides pressure
altitude.

I will be using a GPS to run my PDA, that gives GPS altitude, if I use
the Tasman vario and data-module package, would I really need a dial
altimeter?

Thanks,
