A new dashboard (EFIS) for the Tanarg?
While I was at AirCreation last week I saw the Stratomaster Enigma dashboard fitted to a Tanarg. These pictures do not really do the unit justice as it was switched off at the time. To see more pictures of what this unit is capable of then CLICK HERE.
The unit is very versatile and has built in GPS. The different screens can be customised on a PC running windows and save to an SD card for transfer to the unit. It seems that a PC running Linux is not catered for yet.
This system seems to be a great improvement over the Flycom Focus monochrome dashboard as fitted to my Tanarg, with the bonus of not needing a separate GPS.
The picture above is one that Mike sent me of the unit with power on. On this screen it is showing flight and engine instruments, but by pressing one of the 9 buttons on the right hand side the screen will change to any of the screens shown in the link above.
This picture shows the Flycom Focus and Garmin 296 GPS as fitted to my Tanarg. With the Enigma I can get rid of the Garmin and have a full colour dashboard.
The gauge to the left is the EGT gauge and is used in conjunction with the leaning lever below the gauge. The square back thing below the dash is the radio mount.
