Training Kit and Preview Plans
6/28/2008 Update on engine and panel-
ECi O-360 Titan Kit, Emag/Pmag or dual LSI Plasma II, Catto three blade.
The Panel. MGL Enigma EFIS/Engine monitor, TruTrak ADI Pilot II (this may change as MGL has announced an autopilot that will integrate with their EFIS systems), Garmin 295, Garmin SL40 & GTX327. I also bought an analog angle of attack indicator and an electric Ritchie compass. I still need the ADI head (or MGL servos), Enigma, SL40 comm, and 327.
The Paint Scheme. Well, that's still a secret...sorry. ;o)-
