Your work is first class ( I know Guillermo has done alot in this venture as well), taking the sequenced screens I made in the PC21 to the next level, great work to all you guys, might just have to get a friend to design a driver especially for these screens, then load in your SD card, hook up your chosen screens and switch on using a spare channel on the Tx...mmm

Now my MFD are switched on and off from my Tx.
I took advantage of a thread where someone said that Futaba Transmitter 12FGA (12 channels), can use DIG1 and DIG 2 (two digital channels in the 14 channels receiver), so the 12 channels Tx is finally a 14 channels Tx., but DIG 1 and DIG 2 are only on/off and can not be mixed and neither subtrim, End Point or AFR adjusted, so I used both channels, one for turning on and off the landing lights and the other for turning on and off the MFD. Both (MFD and Landing and Position Lights) are connected to Electrodynamics swicthes.
Now I am using all the 14 channels in my TX. (1 and 2 for right and left elevators, 3 for rudder, 4 and 5 for right and left ailerons, 6 for throttle, 7 for retracts, 8 for turning on and off the turbine, 9 for nose wheel steering, 10 for brakes, 11 for aileron gyro sensitivity in normal mode, 0, 50 and 75% using a three position switch, 12 for rudder gyro sensitivity in normal mode 0, 50 and 75% using another three position switch, both gyros sensitivities can be switched by another switch to heading hold, 13 for turning on and off landing lights and 14 for turning on and off the MFD). Position lights turn on and off once receiver switch is turned on.

RE: Finished MFD's for my F-16
Just installed the Flycamone ECO in my F-16 cockpit, this camera looks like it belongs on the
shoulder of the ejection seat and will cover both the MFD's and the exterior!! Very cool!!
It even draws power and can be controlled from a free channel on your Rx!

That is so cool Tor!
Just out of curiosity, what is the size of the two screens on the dashboard (I know they are bigger behind the board, it's the cutout size I'm interested in) ?
(I have some ideas
)

Do this camera intention is to fly with vitual reality? I mean, fly from inside the cockpit using virtual reality goggles? Or just record the displays in action?
Very nice video
My intention in the future is if the total weight of my jet let me do this, to install a HD camera inside the cockpit and fly with virtual reality goggles and maybe fire some rockets

Hi Guillermo!
For now, this is just for recording and watching on the ground afterwards, but Flycamone has a system where you can
connect a transmitter/receiver and a pair of goggles - but I think the would be fine for a slow, electric trainer, not a
200 mph jet!!! What if you loose the signal for 1/2 second??[:-] I guess you could use a buddy cable and have
an experienced pilot take over.

Carsten -
the exact light opening for the screens is 20mm wide x 18mm high

now I can get on with a nice little gadget here
I needed some "typical" cutout for instruments in that size of plane, thanks!
