Yes the dynon is amazing....but like all computers suffers from bugs. I
mean if Microsoft with billions of operating systems out there still has
major glitches what can we hope from a small volume company like dynon.
Soooo.....what I think one needs, like bud says, is back ups and back ups
for back ups.
The conclusion I have come to after listening to all is a separate battery
powered flight system (levil I think but could me a mini grt) + a Garmin
GPS with turn coordinator.
A handheld radio with headset adapter.
Round guages for key engine parameters like Rpm map oil temp and maybe fuel
pressure amps/volts.
By the way....is there anyway to increase the range of a
handheld....ground plane or perhaps to plug an airplane antenna into it?
Once again it is always very useful to share. Thanks
