flymap xl in r44

[nellycopter]

mmmmmmmmmm

thanks or the reply,
i understand what your saying, i recently took my r44in for its star anual and had the PCAS unit sat upfront with its power wire plugged into the aux socket which happens to be in the back......
engineering told me that i shouldnt have the wire trailing from front to back and suggested they got the avionics guy in to put me a socket in the front on the instrument panel (at a cost!!) to which i agreed to and had done.
is this not the same thing ?? it is running on the aircraft bus, but it was explained to me that so long as its quickly removable its classed as 'Walk on' which is ok ...
what i was thinking with the skymap is to have the same sort of socket fitted in my new machine - so that it too is 'Removable'.
with more and more upto date gadgets and pilot aids becomming available i cant really understand why no-one else is addressing this ???

nelly...
