Brian,
Microair radios and transponders are produced in the
same city of Bundaberg, Queensland here in Oz as
Jabiru. We have used the M760 radio for a few years
now and its been excellent.

Here's some cockpit photos:

Pic 1: Gregg's cockpit with GRT EFIS and Lowrance
3000 GPS

Pic 2: Mr. Davis's cockpit again, dual GRT EFIS, an
autopilot, and a
Garmain 396/496? docking port

Pic 3: Mr. Cooper's plane Dual GRT EFIS displays I
believe the radio and
transponder are called Microair or something like
that. I was a little
worried about range because of their size, but they
work beautifully

Pic 4: This is Mr. Bowen's cockpit, singl GRT EFIS

Pic 5: This was actually an old Esqual panel, but
it is the Blue Mountain
EFIS with Garmin radios. I think this could work in
a Lightning, but the
panel is put together and wired elsewhere and the
guys at SYI specialize in
the GRT, not the Blue Mountain system, so it could
be harder if the Blue
Mountain guys wired something wrong

Pic 6: This is AL, the prototype panel. Steam
gauges with an EIS. I am
going to put a appareo data recorder in the plane
when I do my testing.
I'll still do the old pencil and paper routine, and
will also video and
audio record it. This device allows us to go view
any performance variable
in a 3D environment and refly it in realtime when we
get back on the ground.
It has an embeded GPS that is WAAS enabled to
really give accurate
readings.

Pic 7: This is Linda's panel. Dual Chelton EFIS,
Garmin radios, and steam
gauge backups. Very pilot friendly layout there,
real human factors type of
stuff there.

Brian W.

Laurie,
I didn't realize that it was an Aussie product. I will say that first
time I saw that I thought it was a toy, but had no problems flying locally
and then flying out to Tucson we were picking up some ATIS reports from 50
miles away or so!? The Cherokee 140 with radios that are more massive than
two or three modern garmin variety at the airport won't do that!

First time that I saw a Jabiru I thought, now that looks like a futuristic
version of a Cessna. Then I saw those fly and wow, I haven't ever seen
anything with a small engine climb like that and takeoff in such short
space. I loved the sound of that engine and the look of it too! So I first
flew the Jabirus. That was my first experimental aircraft. Then I flew the
Hybrid Esqaul Lightning and then they turned me loose in a normal Esqual
which is a fun airplane. I figured that if I stuck around I'd get to fly
the Lightning but Greg Hobbs made that dream come true quicker than I
thought. The Lightning is so much more refined in feel, performance, and
even looks when you compare them side by side. So I got my time in the
Lightning there. I have a couple of more owners who want me to fly some of
the first hours off their planes when done lined up and pitched the speed
mod idea to Pete and Nick. Hoping to start on the actual flying on that
soon. Still have a week to get my gizmo in though.

Those Aussies make some good planes and radios and engines! The Arion guys
really put some experience and good and relatively inexpensive products
together to come up with a great plane. Thanks for the info. Brian W.
