Inventory time

Apart from what's in N291DR at the moment, I hope to build 2 more Airball systems. This the inventory of components I have so far for the two probes and displays:

Stay tuned as these get built up. It should be possible, I think, to show the work being "kitted up" much more clearly this time now that we have been around this block a few times.

Successful test flight, good performance

Today I flew the latest Airball hardware on N291DR, and it worked beautifully!!! In particular, as I was calibrating the airspeeds, I noted that I was getting VFE = 70 kias at exactly the same point as the airplane's built-in airspeed indicator. Stall was predictable, yaw was consistent with the inclinometer, there was no "lag", and overall things were peachy!

Unfortunately we are using a commodity LCD panel which is not as bright as some others we've tried, so I can't show you any video! It washed out completely! Maybe I'll share a video of me flying with it just for fun though.

Here are some photos of the installation.
