Default TruTrak Eco Demo Flight
Yes, we are a little late getting the Eco shipping, but here is a video that I finished up yesterday showing it in action. We are finalizing two little software issues and waiting for the first install kit parts to come in! Have the first autopilot control heads sitting on my desk already!

Enough blah blah blah, here is the link to the video.

As Lucas said in his earlier post, the preliminary manual is up on our website and if there are any questions give us a call.

I will try to post some of he RV4 install pics on our FB page today and will link that here.

Thanks everyone for the interest and support of this new idea in our world! Super exciting stuff!

Sorry I ran out of daylight yesterday and didn't get the installation pics posted. I promise I will today!

The link seems to work still, don't know why it might have been broken before?

I really like the concept. I don't care for the installed look of the tabs.

They would look great built in.... I'm sure that will happen very soon.

What happens to the elevator being out of balance?

Still get "This video is unavailable".
I wonder if it is the music for non US viewers.

Default Thanks for the motivation!
Thanks for the motivation! Winter is coming, I am not ready for the airport, and getting discouraged with the pace of the work. I took a break while a vacuum test was going on a plenum infusion set up, logged in, and saw your post on the front page. Clicked the video and got charged up. I wanna FLY. This will keep me productive for a while. Back to work now.

Thanks.

With Andrew's help got to watch the video.
If anyone else is having the problems I had, as Andrew suggested to me, just "try accessing it directly from YouTube instead of the link. Search for TruTrak Eco".
