Hey, all
Finally starting real work on the Affordaplane,
and was wanting some tips on Instrumentation and such.
I plan on the following instruments:
Altimeter
Compass
Bank/Horizon
Fuel
Volt/Ammeter
Tachometer
Airspeed
I may also tap into the 440 for Oil Pressure, not 100% certain.
I'm assuming I'll need some sort of a radio in order to talk to the tower if I want to fly out of any sort of a real airport.
I received my Aircraft Spruce catalog last week and found some nice pricing on instrumentation,
so I'm not terribly concerned about having to add a few more if needed.
Any thoughts on my list or tips on what model of radio would serve my needs?
I'd prefer one that I could use headphones and mic inside my helmet with.
I'd also like to know if there are other instrument choices to consider adding, or some that could be omitted.
I kind of fall into the "would rather have too much information versus not enough" mindset.
Thanks in advance
