Default Redneck Solution to Skyview Delay

Yeah, hook up a temporary setup and get on with the build! A little duct tape, some old steam gauges, and a handheld radio is all we really need anyhow.

Question Not to stick my nose in the avionics mess--

But, is the Skyview the only choice here that Vans could offer? Is there another option, like something from MGL?
I understand the kit regulations on LSA, but if you cant supply the parts, you are not going to sell kits. And those that you have sold are not going to fly unless a solution happens. Just thinking outloud.

I can't help but admire the craftmanship Don. It's a work of art, and a great example of what `experimental' really means. You're a hard act to follow.

Thanks Don.

I got up this am, turned up my puter and started reading VAF with my morning coffee. After seeing your Skyview alternative I now need a new comuter, a new cup of coffee, and I need to change my clothes.

TSFlightlines - it is not the Skyview - Dynon has plenty of them ready to ship and they are proven in the field. It is (probably) the modifications, plans, revisions to the operating and maintenance manuals, etc. If there is any hardware issue, it is probably the power distribution and switching system, which looks custom to Vans - including custom circuit boards. I'm surprised they didn't just go with Vertical Power.
