Good day friends.
I am in the midst of building my Ch701 kit and am pondering avionics.
My mission for the aircraft is very simple. Keep everything as spartan as possible (KISS strategy). I am being relatively frugal with weight and prefer a very minimalist cockpit. All flying is going to be VFR low level/slow. Think fair weather back country strips, gravel bars, puttering around exploring etc.
I do plan on running adsb/Ipad flush mounted ( adsb is not a requirement currently in Canada for ultralight Category aircraft- But nice).
However, as far a traditional avionics are concerned, I really do not want much more than one would find in a trike. I would prefer if possible to have mini gauges. I am relatively un-familiar with what is available.
Is there a manufacturer who offers a very basic "kit" of matching basic flight instruments tailored to this type of flying? Nothing needs to be certified etc.
