Somebody must have put some basic electronic flight/engine instruments in an RV4/8 for the back seat passenger. I can't seem to find anything concrete on what works or doesn't work in that space behind the front seat. Does anyone have any pictures, know of someone or had any experiences (good or bad) with putting in a Dynon, VMC1000, GRT, or any panels back there? Room (depth) is obviously an issue to contend with, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nick,

Might I suggest a look at the following

http://www.lightflying.com.au/index.htm

These guys sell a range of glass ultralight instruments at a pretty
reasonable price especially when you consider the favourable exchange
rate. Lets face it for the rear seat your only really interested in the
basics and cost is a major consideration.

The ultralight guys over here give these things a real hard life and
they seem to be pretty robust.

Cheers

John Morrissey

Nick,

I am building and RV-8 and I am planning to use a
Grand Rapids EFIS system (which I already have). I am
planning to use 2 displays (with EIS) in the panel,
and I plan to use the third display in the back seat.
On the GRT system any of the mulite function displays
is capable of displaying any of the various display
screens (PFD, Moving Map, Engine instrumentation) or
combinations of them, all flight, nav, and engine data
will be available in the back seat. While I haven't
actually planned how I am going to mount the rear seat
display, I don't see any space issues since the
display is only about 3 inches thick.

I saw an RV-8 with a neat rear seat panel at Lakeland. It was N127EK.
You could look him up and ask.
