Default Advanced Flight Quick Panel System

Advanced Flight Systems (AFS) announces the Quick Panel System, a line of complete pre-built avionics panels. Starting with the RV-7/9, and with the choice of VFR or IFR avionics, installing an aircraft?s modern avionics and electrical system is no longer a time consuming, complicated and frustrating experience. Each panel includes a well-engineered instrument panel that is professionally wired, configured, tested and ready to install. All avionics, including the aircraft?s autopilot servos, trim servos and lights are all cleanly wired to the new Advanced Control Module.

This new Advanced Control Module, the heart of the Quick Panel System, integrates circuit protection, panel dimmer controller, flap controller, trim controller, Wig-Wag controller, EFIS networking and a panel switch interface. Rob Hickman, President of AFS, states that "The combination of the new Advanced Control Module and production line manufacturing techniques results in a lower cost yet higher quality panel. It saves the builder hundreds of hours in wiring, crimping, and troubleshooting."

Two panels are being displayed at Oshkosh Airventure 2014, both for the RV-7/9 and both at a special price of $19,995. One has the AFS AF-5600 Touch system, and the other the Dynon SkyView D1000T Touch system. Both panels feature large dual-redundant displays, COM radio, stereo intercom, transponder, ADS-B traffic and weather, ADAHRS, Angle-of-Attack, 406 MHz ELT, autopilot controls, ignition and all other switches and audio jacks. The IFR version adds an IFR GPS navigator, second ADAHRS and a Dynon EFIS-D6 as an independent backup. The front panels are powder coated and silk screened for a professional finish.

Panels will soon be available for many other aircraft.

Very interesting Rob. Are you going to be offering the components or the control modules separately?

Thanks,
Dale

It would be awesome if that control box was available separately. I'd buy one tomorrow.

You forgot the seat warmers and expresso machine... was it your intent to give up the Canadian Market?

Cheers, Vern

Vern,

We would never forget about the Canadian Market..
Get off the Chesterfield, head to your local ABM for some Loonies so you can come see it on Monday at Oshkosh.

And yes you should be able to plug your expresso machine into the Aux circuit, Eh.

The only thing that appears to be missing is one item that I now consider mandatory for any vehicle...

USB power ports. Almost every single personal electronic device we have now uses or can use a USB port for power. Cameras, cell phones, tablets, bluetooth headsets, portable GPS, all of it.

Aside from that it looks pretty nice, and reasonably priced if you want dual screens.

There is a panel mounted 12V accessory power plug into which you can insert a USB power adapter.

Is there a configuration of the Advanced Control Module that would integrate with a Vertical Power electronic CB system that does not have the fuses?



Thanks,

Tracy

I already gave all my money to Dynon, sorry. I did find one thing, however, that you didn't integrate... A Stick Shaker.

You can see the one I designed for MakerPlane at the EAA Innovation Center at Oshkosh. Pretty well all of the other products I have designed over the years just got subsumed by your box. Between you and Dynon, there will be no opportunity for me to innovate anymore. That's no fun.
