Well, the weather is a bit touchy this month, and I'm scrambling
to get everything done I need before Sun-N-Fun, but sure,
if anyone ever wants to come and drop in, I'd love to give
a ride in the -10 and especially if you're looking at the
Chelton screens, it would be a real kick for someone to
come and see. I'd never flown behind an EFIS at all, but I'll
tell you what, I'm glad the features sold themselves, because
flying with the system will sell itself too....might not want
to come fly it if you are an impulsive type. 
So sure, if anyone wants to swing by and go for a flight,
be my guest. I don't know that I'll have any opportunity
to do this during sun-n-fun. Perhaps at OSH I might, but
that might be iffy too depending on what the family does.

Tim,
I am seriously looking at the dual screen Cheltons for my RV10. However, the magazines say that Chelton is coming up with a dual screen system just for RV10's. Is this the same thing that you have in your 10? What do you know about it?

Joe,
I don't think you have anything to worry about with the RV-10
stuff coming up. I believe that there's only a few things
different. The screens are the same except for the splash
logo on startup, and that can be changed anytime.
Then, they'll be making a complete wiring harness for the system
that's custom for the RV-10, as long as you mount everything
in the place they specify. I'm sure they'll do a fine job
finding good placements, but I'm not sure that everyone will
care for a fully built harness, just because it's easier
to pull the wires and terminate them after they're through the
conduit. At any rate, if you are really looking for a harness,
then that would be something to consider...but the harnesses
aren't that hard to make.
Also, they say they're coming out with a dual-screen system,
but that's just because most RV-10 builders buying Chelton's
are assumed to want 2 screens, as opposed to 1 or 3. 1
would be very limiting in my opinion. 2 would work OK, but
I personally feel very compelled that there are good reasons
to consider 3 if a person is truly building a good higher
end panel. So just because their RV-10 package is considered
2 screens, everything is just custom add-ons for us.
The one other piece of addition stuff I believe, and don't
quote me on this, is software that you can use to reply your
entire flight, in 3D, after you download the flight data
to your PC.
So there's nothing ultra-compelling that would cause me to
wait past the time you need to order it. Also, I'm sure
that all of the options would be available in some way or
another after you purchased the base stuff....like I'm sure
they'd sell you a harness or whatever...at least that would
be my guess.
I think you'll be able to hear a lot more about it during
or after Sun-N-Fun, as I'm guessing they're targeting their
major information release for the show....probably along
with some specials, but again, I don't know that for sure,
just a guess.

Thanks Tim. Hopefully I'll see you at SNF and maybe see your Cheltons.
