AJ,  

        Very interesting reading. It is clear that the Chelton EFIS is an amazing piece of software engineering. I believe some of the sales issues are related to the screen size. Heck, their market is 95% men. Size matters! All I would like is a bit more screen real estate for all that cash. I am no expert so allow me to elaborate further. Chelton's Specs & Technical webpage details the total size of the unit not the actual screen size. Wouldn't 3D Synthetic Vision, HITS, Moving Map, Terrain, Weather etc… all be more useful on a 7", 8", 9" or 10" display? We all appreciate how tight panels can get but IMHO with all the info available to the pilot larger screens would be a big plus for me.  

        That being said they sure look tempting. Sounds like real pros like their function.

Size isn't the only thing...

  

 Short story.  Rumor is that when the C-17 was being developed years ago the engineers asked a crew dogg if he wanted 8", 10" or 12" displays.  Of course he said 12" displays.  What the engineer's failed to tell him is that there was room on the dash for six 10" displays across, but only four 12" displays -- we got the latter.  Nowdays with what we're doing around the world, it would probably be better to see more diverse information, albeit slightly smaller.  Of course the two HUDs in addition to the MFD's help out too. 

  

 Best,

  

 -Jim

It'll be the middle of April or so.  Just another short 5-1/2 weeks.  I ordered up the wings, so they should be there when I get back. I have a bunch of use or loose vacation, so I'm thinking of doing a couple week long build-a-thon.  But then again, maybe the Mrs. has other plans???  Talk to you soon,  -Jim

My apologies for sending the previous to the whole group. It's funny how you realize the mistake a fraction of a second after hitting the send button...yet there's nothing I could do about it.  Maybe it's a thing us guys named James do ... didn't McClow do that a bunch of times?  -Jim
