PS- congrats Tracy!!!

PPS- Now get back to work on my EM-2 :-)

 

 

Well, it is moving forward.  I gave it it's first cross country flight test to SERFI & back and really liked it.  Having a real time true airspeed display was even more useful than I thought.  Was able to calibrate it to the existing oil temp & oil pressure senders on-the-fly rather than replace them with the VDO parts it was originally calibrated for.  Only disapointment was that with the sun behind and shinning full strength on the display it would wash out with the light tint filter I had installed.  Bubble canopies have their drawbacks.  I held up a darker tint filter in front and it helped a lot.  The suction cup sun screen (like window screen) that I use in the cockpit also made it easily readable. 

 

Tracy  , (goofing) off to Copperstate on Wednesday.
