 |
|
I have seen some questions from time to time as to how setup the instrumentation in the Kolb MK III Xtra Panel / Instrument Pod. Mine has undergone several changes, and here is the latest which I like very much.
I have never been a fan of those Micro Air transponders and radios, I have never tried them but have heard some negative comments about them from time to time... So from the beginning I went with full sized, full performance avionics. Garmin Transponder, ATC always sees me even far out, it works... The ICOM 210 is the best I radio I have ever used, and the best intercom I have ever used, and both are built all into one unit. I can usually hear the airport ATIS further out than I have fuel for, and communications range is great. The intercom and radio both have a bunch of programmable features selectable via the menu and works great in a high noise environment like a Kolb.
There are a lot of ways to make this panel, but this is very " Pilot Friendly " and has exactly what I need to fly cross country right in front of me while not having anything extra that blocks the great view outside, which is exactly what flying a Kolb is all about
