All  

Anyone know when the 2 1/4" ADI Pilots will be available?  I don't really want to install a Pictorial Pilot and Altrak, only to replace them in the near future.  

cheers,  

Ron

I spoke to TT yesterday on that subject. they  assured me that the 2.25" ADI would be available by December.I have a hole in  the panel for the ADI as the third way to keep the wings level.

You can temporarily put a TT 2.25" Turn&Bank in place of the ADI while  waiting.  When the ADI becomes available return the T&B and pay the  difference for the ADI.

Last week they told me by the "end of the year".  For what it's

worth, I had heard "after OSH" last year, so this one's getting

dragged out pretty far.  I'm not sure that I'd trust timelines

from aviation vendors.   But, if you're using it for backup,

you could use a 2.25" Turn and Bank indicator in place for a

while and they'd upgrade you when it comes out.  That instrument

works pretty well.  If it weren't for the ADI giving track

information in addition, I may not have even bothered to upgrade.

I think Ron is asking about a 2 1/4 inch ADI Pilot with autopilot functions.  I think you should check with TruTrak on that, since I don't think they planned on making a 2 1/4 inch ADI PILOT.  The 2 1/4 inch straight ADI, yes, but putting all the guts in that small package for autopilot functions, too, might be tough, so I think that will be only in the 3 1/8 inch one, at least for the time being.

Ah, yeah if he's asking about the Pilot, I know nothing.

I'm only speaking of the ADI.  FWIW, I think I'd still

go with a Digiflight II or better AP.

The 2.25" ADI is getting pushed back because of their EFIS development, I

was told.  As far as the ADI Pilot, that would certainly be a question for

them, but if they do come out with it, it won't be for at least several

months after the ADI itself comes out, I would think.  Also, I agree with

Tim and for the -10, at least a Digiflight II is the way to go.  Hey, that

fills that 2.25" hole itself.  It doesn't show wings-level, but it will keep

them there for you.

I already have a rectangular Digiflite II VSGV; looking for the ultimate 

backup (ADI only) if the Cheltons fail and the Digiflite won't digi. I did 

comment at OSH that I thought the idea of putting round gauges on a computer 

screen would not sell enough to justify the software development costs and 

it would be far below the other offerings in capability.

TDT is  correct.  I want the ADI Pilot II as 2 axis autopilot and backup AI for the  GRT EFIS.  My panel has been designed for 2.25" backup instruments with the  ADI Pilot in the centre.  A 3.5" instrument would look ugly (and may  not even fit).  I thought the ADI Pilot II would be available in 2.25" form  factor - perhaps I was wrong.  Given David McNeill is using it as a wing  leveller, I expect he is also assuming at least single axis AP capability (ie  ADI Pilot I).

  

 cheers,

 Ron

I had  originally planned to only install a single axis AP (probably Digitrak) and have  installed the roll servo in the right wing.  If I now go Digiflight II, is  this roll servo acceptable?  Does anyone know the individual prices for the  pitch servo and AP controller for the Digiflight II and  II/VS.

  

 cheers,

 Ron  

 -  reconsidering AP (again)

Hi  Ron,

  

 There  is currently no huge plans that I know of for a 2.25" ADI-II.  It had been  discussed at TTAP, but it was determined that to fit all the "stuff" in the  package the instrument would be far too long/deep for most panel.  That  being said, the Digiflight II series, digitraks and pictorial pilots all are  available in 2.25".  The all use the exact same servo for the roll...so no  worries on which servo you have.  It's a or DSB-C, either way,  whichever servo you already purchased for roll will work fine with all the  TruTrak controllers up to the Sorcerer so the answer is YES your current servo  will work just fine.   Prices for the controller on the Digiflight II  servie change based on what version you want, but contact me off list (I don't  want to be accused of doing any stumping here) and I'll help you out -  whether you buy it from me or not.

  

 Cheers,

 Stein.

The 2.25" ADI is not the autopilot; it is a backup  instrument for me to fly the aircraft if the Cheltons and the Digiflite fail...  My autopilot is the Digiflite II VSGV.

Sorry  David, I thought you were talking about an automatic wing  leveller.
