Does anyone know if a regular (whiskey) compass is required equipment if
your aircraft has an EFIS system like the Enigma?
Also. Can anyone recommend a free site to post pictures of our projects
besides "MySpace" (received 3 special solicitations in the first hour!).
Thanks in advance, Jim

If you have an XP computer or later you can go to Google and download
'Picassa' and use their web space to post your pics. The Picassa program
works well and updoads easily and it is a free service.

The answer to your question is yes. However, be careful. I never heard of
it before, so I spent the last half hour researching it. Most comments were
positive, but several were negative. Not about how the software functioned,
it seems great, but what it did to your computer, like loading it up with
.inf files, etc. I don't know man, you do what you want, but I spent many
years the computer business and I spent a lot of time getting and keeping my
computers clean and running fast. This computer stuff is a nasty game, even
when you go buy name brand software, they load you up with useless junk,
spyware, adware. It all slows down your computer, runs little programs in
background. They change your home page, etc., it never stops. None of this
"free" downloads is really free. Not really airplane stuff, is it? But, I
think it's important. LRM www.skyhawg.com.

If you just want to post a few pix try http://photobucket.com/
If you want to keep a builders log with hundreds of photos you may need to rent space on a server and set up a web page.
I believe the EFIS meets the compass (magnetic direction indicating device requirements) but if you look back over the last couple of months I believe there was some discussion on the subject. You might have a little trouble convincing a inspector who was not too up on things. That said...one advantage of a whiskey compass is it doesn't fail when the electrical system goes down. You want some kind of redundancy. I like my battery powered garmin 296.

Thats a good question.
I asked the EAA Tech. guys and they said no, all I needed was the GPS or
other device. HOWEVER the FAA says " A Magnetic Direction Device".

I believe the requirement for a magnetic direction device applies only
to aircraft with standard airworthiness certificates unless you intend
to fly IFR. In that case your op-lims specify that you must meet the
same minimum equipment list as specified for standard aircraft. However,
the compass does not need to be a TSO'd aircraft compass. I have a $10
compass from Walmart in my plane and it works just fine.
