All-

     Many thanks to Larry Mac for  measuring the space between his panel and firewall for  me. 

     Recent posts on numerous lists  have insinuated that there wasn't enough room to mount a Dynon in a Zenith with  a header tank. Using Larry's numbers, worst case scenario is I have 5-3/8"  to work with. According to the Dynon website, a D-100 EFIS is 4.51" deep. Should  be doable.

     Thoughts? Excuse me, from Dynon  owners, not speculators.

Bill,



My Dynon EMS-D10 is only 4 1/2" deep; but when you attach the 37-pin D-sub connector and room to curl the wiring, it requires around 10".

With my ASF units the chasis depth is only part of the equation. I am advised by the website info that the unit is 5.5" in depth plus connectors. They do not estimate the depth of the plug and the radius of wire that exits the plug (in a forward direction). My guess is that will take about 3 additional inches. Check Dynon's website or call their customer support before making any concrete plans.

There are right angle hoods for "D" connectors. With the connector and hood

I would estimate the total depth to be well under 2 inched. A typical

datasheet is attached. Digikey sells these for $4.29. But if you need more

than 25 pins you will need a different family of hoods (see second

datasheet).



For the pitot/static lines you could add right-angle unions.

Take a look at this diagram: www.dynonavionics.com/downloads/EFIS%20D100.PDF

  

  I think the depth you have to worry about is  4.15". The distance from the forward face of the cage to the  rear-facing surface of the D connector looks to be  4.15.

Bill,



This sounds encouraging for you. Can you move the installation out a bit

with a separate "shock" panel?

Bill,

  

 I am building an XL with the Dynon D100 and D120 in  the panel. I have just been out to measure the distances and the D120, with the  Dynon-supplied harness needs 7 inches behind the panel, that's allowing for a  reasonably tight bend in the cables. If you used a hood with the right-angle  outlet, you could safely reduce that by about 1 inch.

  

 The D100 takes about an inch less again, as it only  has a 25-pin connector and far fewer wires connected to it, so it can be bent a  bit tighter.

Gary-

    Last resort. It would be easy to simply angle the EFIS to face the left 

seat, but then the guy in the right seat is screwed. I'll have to see what I 

see when the blank panel is in place.

    Larry said that you shouldn't move the whole panel back because people 

6'3" and over keep bonking his switched with their knees. I thought, no big 

deal, I'm 5'-10" and my wife is 5'-3". Then I remembered my 6'-3" son, who 

has first dibs on a ride once my hours are flown off.

    So you don't burn up a batch of time figuring out the Xs and the Ys of 

the Mendelevian theory, he's adopted. Still the only son I have.

     Small world. I was born and raised in Bethpage, and my  father was a managing engineer for the landing gear division of  Grumman. Sad what's happened to one of the great aviation think tanks in world  history. 

     One of my employees was Gabby Gabrewski's nephew,  and I had no idea Gabby moved a couple of blocks away from where I grew up  once Republic bit the dust and he went to Grumman.  

     I could cry.

Bill,

 I was born and raised in Farmingdale, my mom used to work for Grumman  making wiring harnesses for the F-14. I left L.I. in 2000 and moved to  Marathon,NY and I don't miss L.I. one bit. Got my flight training at Republic   Airport, when I was able to solo, I used to go out to Block Island for those  $100.00 hamburgers. My In-Laws used to live in Bethpage.

Bob-

     My point exactly. I left in 1968 when Grumman and  aviation were the hub of the universe. Everyone's moms and dads were either  engineers or highly skilled tradespeople. Aviation legends were walking the  street. Alan Shepard and Rusty Schweickart both were over to our house.  Fred Herman (One of the test astronauts who figured out how to fix the  filtration system on Apollo 13) was the guy who supervised (Suffered through) my  first take-off at the age of 12. Cripes, Republic was cranking out the F-104 and  F-105 where you learned to fly when I was there!!

     When my brother and I were back in 1999, all that was  left of Grumman was a piece of Plant 1 on South Oyster Bay Road, which was being  used as a library for the company history. Republic had  been downgraded to a GA field.

     You had to be there in the glory days. Don't blame you  for not missing the down times. Once again, I could cry.

     P.S. Have flight pictures of Block Island from a  C-172A.
