Dreaming, here!
Yep - just dreaming (hoping) that Van's will certify (if that is the correct work) the SkyView (or two) plus the 696. Now that you've brought it up, the G-Aera 560 would be pretty sweet! Good idea.
My 12 will be flown from home base on a lot of cross country and night flights and a flying 'avionics platform' sounds darn pretty good. Our 12 will be an ELSA flown with the holder of a PPC - me.
And Mr. Adamson, I couldn't agree with you more. That is the way that Van's is but thankfully we can add or delete what we want. I'm happy.

Hmm Just do it EAB... The skyview won't fit with the prebuilt switch panel, someone want to start trying to figure out how to rewire it all since there is no schematic.

I have not even got my first kit parts, but I want a SKYVIEW! I hope that others continue to explore and share, mostly I want to know what I might need to do to insure an easy installation later if desired.
I intend to build ELSA would it not be acceptable to put in a Skyview after certification? How does that work exactly? Am I correct in assuming that many of the same sensors would be used with the Skyview?

You may make any modifications you like on an E-LSA after certification as long as the mod does not take the aircraft beyond light-sport parameters; i.e. max speed, stall speed, gross weight, etc.
Changing to Skyview after certifications would probably not be an easy change.

My understanding is that Van's are working towards putting the SkyView into the RV-12 - timescale sliping a bit as things often do. Perhaps next Spring. No idea if it would be one or two 7" or 10" screens. Apparently SV won't work with the standard integrated RV-12 panel.
There is someone in Oz with two 10" SV displays in a 12 that is close to flying.
In the UK we aren't tied by the LSA rules - our RV-12s come under the equivalent of the US 'Experimental' category so can do what we want with the avionics.
My intention is two 10" screens, Mode S transponder, SL30 nav/com and Dynon autopilot. One peculiarity we have is the requirement of analogue stand by ASI, altimeter and compass.
I don't think there is any need for a standaloan GPS - everything should be in the SkyView in the next update. Power consupmtion wise it should all work okay with the standard Rotax integral alternator.

Nice work, Crashley. I'm hoping VAN's will have upgraded the avionics before I need to place my order.

Well done Ashley. You did it the hard way. I like Rob will wait until next year for Vans.

560n in RV12
I have an 560 in my EAB RV12, together with an Airgizmp's mount.
Easy to wire up.
