Ed Cesnalis Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 The 760 didn't fit in the panel but close enough for the low budget upgrade. Tru Trak head was replaced with Dynon AP74 for input and Dynon D100 takes over as AP head. Tru Trak servos replaced with Dynon servos GDL 50 was mounted and connected to avionics bus for ship's power Echo UAT with antenna and GPS were added Aera 760 replaced the 496.

johnnyjr Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Looks great Ed! How do you like the location of the AP controls. I'm tossing around installing the HS34 in the same location or on the right of the D100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Cesnalis Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 The new AP flies nicer than any light sport ap I've seen so far. I haven't changed any settings yet. Are there any recommended CT settings for Dynon D100 AP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkworks85 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Ed, Did the airgzomos 760 panel dock not fit? http://airgizmos.3dcartstores.com/760-Panel-Dock_p_83.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the 740b fit, but it required a new panel plate, relocating the heater controls, and some modifications to the radio trays and the mushroom composite behind the center panel. The way Ed did it is definitely the easier route, even if it's not quite as clean and all flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 660 and just wished it where bigger. Question. Your airspeed tape on your dynon is not set up correctly for colors. Did you do that intentionally?

Ed, I have the same aircraft and I am curious how you mounted the ball mount to the 760 and did you put something across the hole the 496 left so you could attach the ball mount to the panel? If you any photos of the mount attachment that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you any photos of the mount attachment that would be helpful. It was too easy. No dock, left opening and used a 1" ball mount behind the panel in existing holes then another ball mount 1" for flush I think and I have a 3" to bring it closer to me and rotate it vertically but I like it flush and horizontal and never switch. Took a few minutes and cost only a few bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
