  Hi Pete - Thanks for the steer.  I am aware of the Dynon for sure and will 
be doing
something like that before too long.  I was just looking for something kind 
of inexpensive
for now.  Also, my hangar is not too secure.  Does the Dynon have a quick 
removal
feature so one could take it home after flying?

                                              Glenn
