Hi there,

nothing new here since a while...
OK, let me show you a new version of the cockpit :



Remember this one : http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/296...ml#post5345571 ?

Well, what's new? Oh, yes, a dual glass panel!
The upper one is unchanged while the new lower one runs the GPS software.
They share a unique frame while beeing totally independant.
Also note on the console an integrated trackball with 6 (yes 6) buttons.
Left to the dual-screen, between the airspeed and the heading indicators, the attitude indicator is also a digital display. Included is a turn coordinator.

Last but not least, have a look at the pedals.
By pulling out of axis each of them, then moving forward or backwards the tiltable upper part, you adjust them to your size. Much simpler than adjusting your legs to the copter...
One size fits all!

Central S.

p.s. on the right side of the NAV screen, an USB socket enables loading of new charts or updated software.
Below this socket is a push-button for turning on the NAV equipment only, allowing the preparation -or transfer via USB- of a flight plan without exhausting the battery.
Power management includes all what you can think about, including auto-shutdown if you forget it.
