Smile Dynon SkyView announcement today

Check Vans Facebook later today. Skyview will be available for all RV12s flying and for those in the building process. Really good news.

I hope it is true this time, we have been told that it will be out soon for almost a year now.

It looks like holding off on my Avionics order is going to pay off for me! Hope it is quick while I can still do rewiring easily.

I'm not at all surprised by the power budget problems, when you consider the added cooling needed on the voltage regulator if you have installed the lighting option.

Well at least it validates what I have done so far. I am not ready for one today, and am just installing the AP servos for now, then going on with the engine kit installation next, by the time I am ready for Avionics, they should have it all sorted out.. (I hope)

I see that my concern was validated again, Skyview for the RV-12 remains vaporware with no real details and no date it will be available, no real information on what the package will include or not and no information on price. Just sales talk because so many are calling, very sad for people like me who would like to finish our aircraft and have very little to do while we wait for Van's to come up with the installation plan that could be done in two weeks by most any avionics shop.

Well perhaps we get to fly next year.

Best regards,
Vern
