Installing PFD Computer and Monitor

I finally started to tackle one of the major issues..... getting to activating some of the main panel instrument displays.

Maiden Test Flight


What can I say.... I just had to do it!


Image


KBOS to KJFK  IFR late at night last night.

It is a reality.... but FAR from really done.  On the main panel only the PFD was running.... nor the other gauges.


best,

Congrats!

Lookin' good. :)

I fully understand the need to take it on a test flight...why do all this continuing work unless you get a chance to play every once in a while?
