12:42 I completely get it, your plane, your rules! I will also say I know nothing about aviation, and I definitely am not saying I don't like it (I think it is really neat) but it does look like they might be mounted JUST close enough that will require some active thought and nimble fingers to move one of the inside two slides without bumping their neighbors with your fingers. I could be wrong, just my experience from a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was my first car and had potentiometer slides for the audio controls (bass/treble/balance/fade/etc) that were mounted pretty close! :D
Valid concerns sir👍 They are spaced as far apart as I had room for. Also worth noting that none of the items controlled with those sliders are “flight critical” items so inadvertent movement wouldn’t effect the safety of the flight. Last thing is they are above the screen intentionally to give your hand something to stabilize off of with a few fingers while reaching up for these. Always good to hear from you sir! Thanks for watching and participating in the comments section!
@@Project2Aero That makes perfect sense. If you can rest a few fingers above/below then you can use just one to manipulate the slider and avoid that issue altogether!
Your tech stack is so awesome! I know you did an electronics overview, but I would love to see deep dives into the PDM, ECU and EFIS. The ECU you mentioned looks really cool. Will you be using one of their existing maps, or do you have plans for a custom aviation one? The only other ECU I'm aware of for the Yamaha converted airplanes is the BD Turnkey, so it's really cool to see another option. What made you decide to go the Hypersports route as opposed to the BD?
Thanks for following along👍… I do plan on a deeper dive into those things when I get it a bit more refined… at the moment I’m still ironing out little things a tweaking stuff. I chose the Hypersports ecu for a few reasons, but the main one is that one of (if not) the top dog in sled competition rigs is the brain child behind the tunes. There are currently 2 flying and several more getting close with this ecu setup and it just keeps getting more and more dialed in. I don’t know enough about the BD options so steer you in either direction but I can say I’ve not regretted the path I went down one bit. Hope that helps and feel free to reach out at project 2 aircraft at gmail if you want some more in depth info.. thanks for watching
Dream panel, Just Wow, Josh, I've known what plane / power plant combination I want to build for some time, you've just helped massively with my avionics selection/panel design layout - function and form A1 most impressed well done sir. Looking forward to future updates. Cheers, Glenn. DownUnder.
Been testing with new cards and an external battery rather than the internal and it seems to be working for now🤷🏻♂️ I think it’s heat related for sure…
Looks awesome and really coming together nicely! Love the pioneering originality and your innovative approach to the hardware and power plant choices and overall integration. Can’t wait to see it all finished and fired up!
Great video again Josh...good to see too your switch block uses a deutsch connector. I use them exclusively in all the aircraft I build....cant beat them for ease of assembly and function
Josh, Dynon shows the option of installing the ADSB receiver also in the Universal Module Mounting Tray. Was engine vibration the reason you chose to mount it at FS 2A instead?
You also mentioned your preference for the inverted installation of the Universal Module Mounting trays. Other than perhaps easier access from below, are there other reasons for your decision to do this?
The plan is to use the Dynon EMS module for the rotax engines.. it accepts can bus inputs and “should” work.. I get my HDX soon so I’ll be posting the results of this attempt soon👍
Wow, this was satisfying to see everything come together. At 8:53 is there any grommet that goes around that raw aluminum to prevent any possibility of wire wear?
@@Project2Aero As I looked at it I couldn't image ANY possibility where those wires would contact unless they plugged STRAIGHT across, which I knew they wouldn't, but was curious otherwise!
I've been fretting how to flush-rear-mount the PDM keypad, thinking up some sort of stiffening brackets, etc. But seeing yours in the panel makes me think that maybe surface mounting isn't so bad. While it appears chunky, it's not actually that much deeper than the chin of the HDX, and provides a place to steady your hand if things get bumpy. So now I'm reconsidering. :)
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. I really like your panel. Interested in how you tackle circuit breakers/fuses.
Thanks EJ! Stay tuned👍

Good stuff panel is beautiful.
Thanks Tom!
Looks great! Nice job!
Thanks Mike👍
Awesome!!
Thanks Brian👍
looks great!
Thanks Pete!
Looks awesome!
Thanks man, don’t blow away out there today👍
Looks fantastic!!
Thanks!

Thanks glen! Always enjoy hearing from you sir👍
I've suffered lots of lost footage due to failing to using endurance video cards in my dash cam gopro and phone

Thanks Mark, I do love the Deutsch connectors as well!
Wow just found your channel. Really well done videos!! What state are you in? Would love to see your build!
Thanks Andrew! I’m in the north Texas. Happy to show it to you if your in the area👍
Josh, Dynon shows the option of installing the ADSB receiver also in the Universal Module Mounting Tray. Was engine vibration the reason you chose to mount it at FS 2A instead?
I mounted anything with a coax antenna cable back near where the antennas will live so the runs are short and simple. That’s really the only reason👍
You also mentioned your preference for the inverted installation of the Universal Module Mounting trays. Other than perhaps easier access from below, are there other reasons for your decision to do this?
@@tboyett8090 No sir, that's pretty much it.. It just gives me better access from below if I didn't want to pull a screen out.
How is the Yamaha connected to the Dynon instruments? I was told the Yamaha requires a separate Vigilus Flybox.
The plan is to use the Dynon EMS module for the rotax engines.. it accepts can bus inputs and “should” work.. I get my HDX soon so I’ll be posting the results of this attempt soon👍
Wow, this was satisfying to see everything come together. At 8:53 is there any grommet that goes around that raw aluminum to prevent any possibility of wire wear?
I oversized that hole to eliminate that possibility. Other wise, yes that sure would be a concern for sure👍

Yes sir, I had the same thoughts, in the end it doesn’t stick out that much farther than everything else so I’m goin with it👍
