Waqar Syed Thank You!

i’m only 14 really wanting a plane and savin up

[@MrWATCHthisWAY]

I thought for an Experimental aircraft the Experimental placard had to be posted where it was visible as you got into the aircraft. I know up on the instrument panel would take up a large area but down on the throttle quadrant would almost be oblivious to most people entering the aircraft if the missed the large letters outside! Lol... beautiful panel work guys. They have built a great business model. I would like to wish them all the success in the world!!

[@MidwestPanels]

John Paul Lafferty it’s visible to the passenger and that is the only requirement.

Keep going you got this!

[@davidrobins4025]

[@rfresh1011]

Great story!!!

[@TimDonk]

That simulator is insane!! Should be even better with the new Microsoft FS2020

[@CrabLouis]

That SIM is really something. Midwest Panel is clearly assign ubergeek outfit.

[@Firebugshoes]

Your best video ever.

[@EJWash57]

It seems that you're focused on the Sling designs. Do you offer panels and wiring harnesses for the Van's designs as well?

[@MidwestPanels]

E. J. Washington we can but it won’t be our full modular design. We would rely on the builder for component placement and measurements.

[@EJWash57]

@@MidwestPanels Thank you for the reply.

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Will your panels still function under EMP? Just kidding...got a chuckle from your solar flare story. Always good content.

[@arrowpilotii8397]

Are you only doing experimental? I have a PA-28-200 that I want done as I’ve done all new avionics. But still have the 1974 feel. Thanks

[@UbestTop5]

Cool video

[@davidwatherston5482]

Awesome story and thanks for sharing, what courses or qualifications do you need to work in the experimental avionics industry?

[@ahsanmohammed1]

Your son looks like your twin, other than the age difference!

[@bowzist]

Interesting

[@garrygballard8914]

How's the plane coming ?

[@mojogrip]

Its coming along. I'll have an update this week

[@garrygballard8914]

@@mojogrip I'm getting more interested. I'm looking at a closed airport here just west of downtown Nashville. Cornelia Fort Airpark. Google it very interesting history.

[@homertalk]

Does his panel detect the Corona?

[@steveheuser8567]

Are you strictly Garmin, or will yo do a Dynon panel and harness?

[@MidwestPanels]

Steve Heuser we can do Dynon but with the loss of features and customization we get with Garmin, we will always try to recommend their setup.

[@flyfish]

Nice

Are you helping mogo build his aircraft.?

[@DanFrederiksen]

It's somewhat interesting that you can build your own aircraft but it's terrible that you have to. Imagine if the only way you could get a Tesla Model 3 was to spend a year building it yourself at the factory and having to connect with a lot of companies to get all the pieces together and then have to pay 200 grand for it plus travel and living. That's not a good thing, that's a symptom for aviation. If an inspector can take a quick look at a homebuilt and declare it fit for flight, why can't an FAA guy take a little longer with a design and say it's fit for mass production.

[@retiree1033]

Why terrible Dan? There are two main reasons for building from a kit, one is to save money and two is for the sheer sense of accomplishment of building your own. Their aircraft are available as a kit or ready built if that's your thing. If I had the means I would jump at the chance to build my own aircraft but funds and health are against me these days. As far as aircraft inspection goes, the inspectors take a more than a cursory look at any aircraft before first flight. If you think that a passed design is sufficient for safe operation you're mistaken. Approved methods have been known to deviate from to accommodate manufacturing convenience.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@retiree1033 It's 161k for a quick build kit without travel and accommodations so how much are you really saving...

[@zutrue]

You are saving a lot. And learning plus accomplishing even more. And at this point there aren't very many other options. That is just a simple, but indisputable, fact!! Now you can talk it up one side of the street and down the other. But the fact of it will remain constant. The End.
