Hi All

Some time ago I advised Michael Coates of a very comprehensive locally
produced instrument that I was busy testing on my X-Air. I'm very pleased to
report that the designer Phillip Van Heen is now satisfied that he has
ironed out all the pre-release bugs on his Skydat GX1 system. It's now ready
for distribution. Lets be honest, the "electrics component" involved in the
build process still creates the biggest stumbling block towards finishing
your X-Air in anything close to 100hrs and is the least satisfying. Why?
Because if you do it well, none of it should be evident! Only you will ever
appreciate what it took in time, effort and detail to ensure that every wire
was beautifully soldered, crimped, insulated and where possible - hidden! I
don't doubt for a moment that the more conventional amoung us might prefer
round guages that resemble Microsoft Simulator but surely, if you wanted to
pilot a Boeing dashboard, why fly 'Microlights'. This system is it!
Affordable (+/- $ 1000 US complete), lightweight, trick, easy to install and
very comprehensive. I rest my case. .

My best regards now
