I Broke A Sponsors Part l X Naut iPad Mount Install

[@kimbalhancock8242]

That's my boy... Breaking and fixing things. He has always done that 🙂. Great video and great product from X-Naut. I like how easily the iPad is put in place, how secure it is, and how easy it is to remove the iPad.

Thanks DAD!

Look, see... what had happened, was... Awe sh*t it broke. Nice "on the fly" engineering, Carl. Looking great!

[@flywiththeguys]

Thanks! I'm jus glad it worked out. I know I didn't show it, but the battery backup inside works perfect too!

[@stevek4408]

Glad you recovered the functionality of that nice iPad mount. 👍 I’ve had to do mods to well designed products to adapt to the mission also.

[@flywiththeguys]

Sometimes adapting something is better than someone whos done it before. I like where I ended up.

[@michealnwadobu7344]

Beautiful . . I'm so loving this your build. Can't wait to see you fly it at the end

[@flywiththeguys]

You and me both!

[@wingsoverwyoming8296]

Don't think you messed up you probably gave them there next axillary product for that system. I would suggest back to them to offer a flush mount installation kit providing the Builder with that option

[@flywiththeguys]

I know right!? To be fair though, they don't have any products that flush mount... Granted I like their mechanism for installation and removal. The truly flush mount stuff is a pain to get in and out IMO.

Do you have space in your panel to fit 2.25” or 3.125” EFIS instrument? I think 360 Avionics guys will be happy to have one installed in your panel.

[@flywiththeguys]

Sadly I don't! The only available space I had was just taken up by moving my throttle and mixture.

[@wareairaviationservicesllc4933]

What happens when apple changes ipad dimensions? Does it adapt to other generations or do you have to rebuild a panel?

[@flywiththeguys]

You would have to modify the panel for a new mount. Not hard. Im on the 5th gen and my mount won’t work with the 6th. Granted the width is the same, I may be able to 3D print an adapter to make mine work still.

[@WolfPilot]

How? Just how? All you needed to do was remote that hidden switch with 3 wires...

[@flywiththeguys]

In retrospect I should have just soldered lines to the existing switch. But hey! My solution is solid and has less chance of a failure IMO.

I know right!?
