Has anyone used the Dynon multi-function instrument to make the Rebel or
others legal for night flight? Any experience with it?

Hi Gary,
I do know a couple of RV's, and Longez's that have this instrument, and
as of right now they are grumbling about them having the " leans". The
horizon is not level and it reads 10-20 deg off on the bearing. The company is well
aware of the problem, and I think they have come up with a fix. They have
also had some interference with the radio signals too, but the new ones are
fixed on that point.
Have you looked at the Blue Mountain stuff? A bit more in price, but they
have an internal gps and they are approving it for IFR here in the states. I
don't know about your nighttime stuff and what's required.
One other thought, the Dynon display might be getting a bit far away for
old eyes in a Rebel. The Blue Mountain is easier to read in that manner. Our
panels are further away than a RV or EZ. IMHO Curt N97MR

Garry,

I have a friend who flies a Kitfox with the Dynon and he loves it. I would
have bought one myself if where available at the time. Saves wight and space
too.

A genearal question about night flying.

Does the Dynon alone qualify for required instraments or do you require a
combination for night flying? I'm sure I used to know what was required.

Thanks,

Brad (R195)

I don't think you need any more instruments for night flight as you do for
day VFR. What you need are NAV lights and a strobe. I flew my Luscombe at
night all the time and it was VERY minimally instrumented. It didn't even
have a strobe - built before 1957 so not required, but a new airplane would
need one..

In Canada, the instrument complement of the Dynon is sufficient to do
the job. To my knowledge there is no declaration of any sort that
defines this. It might be a bit dodgy to rely on it entirely but I
suppose that depends on the kind of night flying you plan to do.

In Canada it is a requirement from CARS604 that you have a heading
indicator and either a turn/bank or attitude instrument for night
flight.
