Looks snazzy Ed! I do have a couple questions for you however. Are the green lights dim-able? Or can you turn them off? Reason I ask is because we have a similar type light on the A/c I fly [414A]. It's the control for the Autopilot to switch from Nav1 to Nav 2. It's back lit and has about the same glow as your green lights. In our case, the light is not dim-able [something to do w/ being an LED] and so I have the pleasure of flying w/ a pc of masking tape over it when flying at night.. if I don't... it's literally blinding.. and it's over at the bottom of the panel, far right side.. [typically would shine on the co-pilot's knee]..yet has the ability to be a real pain..

Just some food for thought!

For of those who may be interested, my EFISM display has a new look. A new “glass Cockpit” style bezel was developed by Chrissi of the Cozy Girllls. The Cozy Girls are producing parts for Cozy airframes and cockpits as well as other canard types.

Chrissi saw my EFISM display at Sun & Fun and came up with the idea of a more modern “Glass Cockpit” look. I mean I don’t understand why anyone would want anything other than Steam gauge style … but, {:>)

In any case, Chrissi undertook the effort and milled a prototype bezel and shipped it to me. I have now designed a PC back board for it and remoted the display and buttons away from a small black (of course) box containing the mother board. So that will provide capability to mount the bezel in areas where there is minimum rear area between panel and next bulkhead – or if a “glass cockpit” look is desired.
