Show us your (non-certified only) panel

sans panel

sure is a good way to save on weight.. and wallet. As was demonstrated 1904, or earlier, by some intrepid aviators, an airplane does achieve flight only by the virtues of its airfoil (and some other stuff which you all know about), but certainly not its panel. By the way, is that a mechanical tach drive (haven’t seen one of those in the 21st century) or just a mean to rewind the rubber band?

Garmin just uses CANbus to communicate

not sure what Garmin brand u’re using, but funnily enough mine uses CAN bus too… and RS-232. Oh, almost forgot, there’s some ARINC 429 mixed in as well… and this interface mix with different communication protocols sure adds some interest to the wiring and configuration programming.

Thanks @Snoopy, but I sure enjoy my flights way more as they happen, in a real space-time bubble of human feelings such as control input-reactions/turbulence/respect/anxiety/being cold or hot/etc/etc, rather than dissected and replayed from a digitalized data output. Same as AI, you guys go for it. At the very small risk of sounding like what I really am (yes, an old “tailwind”), I will stick to real life values, and therefore prefer to replay a flight thru memories imprinted in my very brain iso some digital memory. This probably explains my desire to fix special aerial moments into what’s very appropriately called a snapshot.
My short experience using FlySto has left me deeply impressed as to its capabilities, but also reinforced my feelings that this kind of technology is of no benefit for me.
My love towards the magic of flight is just too large and intricate to be understood, the more so replicated by any man-made algorithm…

quite some glass @wigglyamp.
This Garmin stuff really looks pro, and sure beats the kitchen appliance look of another big avionics player
