Default Dynon EMS D-10 experience

I have an EMS D10 in my flying 9A and I have it coupled the the Dynon EFIS D100. I have been very pleased with both units and with Dynon tech service. I have worked with a couple of guys who have AFS units. My unit does everything that I need at a better price. Also the D10 is more compact and that frees up panel space. I can display the EFIS or HSI pages on the D10 while I view the EFIS and EMS on the D100 (split screen) in front of the left seat pilot. I have the D10 on the right side and it allows the passenger (or right seat pilot) to use the EFIS and the HSI easily. The AFS unit is a very good monitor but in my opinion the Dynon is the best unit for the buck. If money and /or space is not a consideration get the AFS. It is bigger which makes it easier to read and does a few more things.

The AF-2500 is $3500 including the all the probes.

The AF-3400EM Engine Monitor is $2,541 not including the probes.

This months Kitplanes has a good article on engine monitors.

Not all the kids in the booth are actually mine... Some are actual electrical engineers that frequently get mistaken as one of Jennifer?s sons.

We had one customer today in person ask Jeffrey and Travis if they were going to get Electrical Engineering degrees? I had to explain that Travis actually already has one.

Jeffrey who was two years old and in his walker when I started the RV-4 actually turned 16 last month and soloed our Cessna 140. He has not yet flown the RV-4 from the front seat, although he did talk his way into the left seat of a new IO-390 powered Glasair Sportsman.



Sincerely,

Rob Hickman

Sorry if I misrepresented the price Rob...but I think you're potentially losing customers by your pricing page...

http://www.advanced-control-systems....g/pricing.html

...which clearly states that the AF-2500 is $3500.00 sans probes and sensors.

Scrolling down it says the 4 banger probe package is $1,165 -- adding them together is where I got the price.

Thumbs up I like my VM1000C

I have recently purchased a vm1000c and can report that it came complete with all senders, a metal template for panel cutout, and a nice set of bound instructions. I talked with the rep twice before receiving mine (it was backordered from aircraft spruce) and they were of great help. I wanted to see if I could get the instructions ahead of time (via email) to plan the panel while waiting for the unit. They didn't have them, but sent me a complete manual and template for free! Everything looks well made and packaged, and I consider it a bargain at $1900 complete.

Looks like the pricing has been fixed... apparently the AF-2500 is sold only as a complete package which INCLUDES the sensors, the EFIS screens are a la carte.

This is the same set up I have in my -9 and it was easy to connect and they work as advertised.

The ability to connect it with the EFIS was my reason to purchase and install both Dynon units.

Here are some pictures of the units sharing their info:

1) Default mode:


2) Engine info on left side & EFIS info on Right side:



3) Same as #2 but with a warning message


There are more pictures on my panel page of my web site, including the wiring.
