Default glass panel RV14A N448WP
All Dynon panel with wiring help from Stein. Fortunately I have some great friends at KDVT that give me advice to get it right. The autopilot is an amazing tool that fly's the plane much better than I ever could

Very nice, but I'm curious about the 23 kt difference in groundspeed between the Dynon and ForeFlight. Calibration error?

Jerry, where have you managed to get the iPad holder from that swivels but lays flat as well? Nice panel.

I see several panels without a magnetic compass. Is an unpowered magnetic compass no longer required?

Thank you. I should have noticed that.

A magnetic compass is required in Canada, as I understand, but not in the US.

Default EFIS compass
Hello all,

I received this from the MDRA a couple of years ago when building my RV8.

"EFIS compass is equivalent to a wet compass. However it must be supplied by an alternate power supply in case of an electric power failure. Most EFIS suppliers come with it or can be ordered with standby power. "

I finished my 8 without a whiskey compass and still meet the CAR's requirements.

Cheers

Andrew

Default ipad mount
Ram mount from aircraft spruce with a 6 inch extension. I also have a 2 and 4 inch extension. Allows me to adjust so that I get less glare. I used a ball mount for the panel and also for the back of the ipad holder. Jerry
