Now if only SeeYou, flyWithCE, Glide Navigator II, or someone (Dave)
would make an app for this.
At 9.71 inches, this device seems a bit large for a glider cockpit.
No problem with a 10 inch display - as long as it's thin and light.
Make a mount with a hinge at the top so it can be flipped up. *Put a
full glass cockpit/glide computer display on it. *If it fails, flip it
up to reveal the old "steam gauges" underneath. *Take it out for the
annual.
There was a PW5 pilot that had that with a monster hang glider
instrument on top of this regular instruments.
I preffer the mix of steam and high tech.
Al, I always suspected you were into "Steam Punk".
