I know exactly what you mean. I was very disappointed in the video quality that I got out of the camera... so unfortunately this is as good as the source video is.

I may reshoot it in the future, or maybe just a quick 5 minute overview that I shoot in 4k (once I save up for one of those freaking awesome Garmin Virb Ultra 30s!!! Maybe Garmin might get me one for Christmas )

I'm using an Arduino to control all the heat servos. I'm basically just using it as a 5 channel servo controller, with cheap potentiometers as control inputs. One bit of advice if you do this is get higher end servos, and use a quality power source that can deliver all the amperage that the servos might need.

I go into pretty good detail on my lighting system in this blog post: http://www.goodplaneliving.com/inter...system-part-1/

Curious about your thoughts on that.
I ran the power for the Lightspeed boxes as called for in the instructions, directly from the battery post to the pullable breaker to the control box. The ignition that I've got the TCW IBBS on is the same, with the IBBS wired inbetween the pullable breaker and the control box (as shown on the IBBS manual). I'm using my key switch wired as described in the LSE install manual.

Willing to tell us what all that cost you (avionics, carbon panel, etc.)?

Impressive. Lots of thought went into the layout and integration. Really shows.

I'm guessing a kidney. Maybe two.

It was very clear on my computer at 720P. I suspect you may have a bandwidth constraint that is causing the hazy look. Try running a speed test (google speakeasy).

That's a beautiful panel and a nice walk through.

Maybe somewhere between $45k and $50k... Stein is the guy you want to ask for a real number!
