Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2016 6:45 pm Post subject: 10 inch Dynon in a Mono

Hi,



I'm still determined to upgrade my Europa monowheel to an EFIS and have 

pretty much settled on the 10 inch Dynon display.



So I'm in my early stages of panel planning I have determined that the 

standard mono panel moulding is not quite wide enough for the 10 in screen.



It needs building up to the left by maybe 1/2 inch which starts to 

encroach into the recess for the gear/flap handle.



My question is, has anyone else already done this and if so, did you 

make some kind of gear/flap handle extension that would make it easier 

to push and pull the handle up and down?



I'd be interested in any solutions along with any pictures.



Thanks,



Martin Tuck

Martin…though I opted for the 7” Skyview, principally because I have a stand-alone EMS and will not have to split-screen the Dynon to get that data, because of associated layout decisions regarding back up steam gauges, I too needed to decrease the width of the recess for the gear/flap handle by approx. 1/2”…a bit of handy hacksaw work is all it took…I’ll send pixs directly to you…Fred 	  Quote:

Here's my solution. Really all I wanted to do was to replace the old dead electric A/H, but for not much more money this is perfect for VFR only.

Martin, Have you looked at the Garmin G3X Touch system, which I have found very impressive in demonstration. Am in the middle of fitting an 8" EFIS with a G5 acting as back up for altimeter, ASI horizon and lots else, tying in with my old (not very) GNC255A Nav/com system.  Both the 8" EFIS and the G5 are beautifully readable in any light and I am not clear that a 10" one would offer any extra benefit. Doing away with the steam driven back up instruments means there is plenty of room on the panel for all the extras I want. I am also fitting a remote transponder and small certified GPS so that it will all work for ADSB in and out. The LAA historically insisted on steam back up instruments, but they have recently relaxed this edict and I have just heard that the G% is acceptable acting as back up ASI and altimeter 

Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Here is a pic of the 8 1/2" GRT Sport SX in my Tri-gear. Very happy with the unit.

Dynon is an excellent choice.........I have 2. The only modification to the panel needed is to chop out a bit small bit of the panel moulding for the top left of the screen to allow you to get it into position

Hi Martin,



I installed the 10 inch Dynon in my mono.

  It is a tight flight, however, the modification to the panel was minimal and does not encroach on the gear retract space.
