burning question - HSI?

[ruprecht]

Ah brilliant, just ordered 5 of the titchy ones. Thanks Scott, and have fun on your trike!

G'day again:

Progress on this has slowed a bit. I've purchased a flexwing microlight (we call 'em trikes in Oz) and I've started flying lessons. I solo'ed on Wednesday and now I just have to complete the rest of my 20 hours to get my license.

Anyway, here's some progress pics. The markings are just sticky labels to get an ide of how it will look. THe finished item will have screen printed markings and look a lot better.

Enjoy.

PS: I'll be going to the OzFlightsim Expo next weekend and I will be bringing the HSI if anyone is interested to have a look at it.

Bravo Scott!

And congrats on your first solo - you'll never forget it. See you at the expo.

I made a little progress on the CDI assembly today




The first pic shows the CDI gear and the standoffs that attach the CDI faceplate. The second pic shows the CDI plate and the top and bottom of the CDI pointer

This is looking great Scott. Thanks for the update.

Yeah yeah, it's been a while. I've been flying so the poor old HSI has been neglected of late. I finally got a round tuit and made some more parts for the HSI.


I've added the gear trains for the CDI, Compass rose and Heading bug. I've also added the gears on the rotary encoders and the shafts for the control knobs. I've made the hinge bar and mounts for the glideslope pointer arms (on the back plate) and finally, the hinge mounts for the flag arms (on the stepper plate).

Enjoy

Question, Why not write a code and use the stock internals driven by PIC or or other interface. I think it would be easier to do this electronically and code versus mechanical?

Hi.....,

I can offer you some good advice. Always be clear in what you are asking for when you post to a forum. I hope my advice is helpful for all your future endeavors.
