Fair enough: very often hardware gets picked simply because one of the
technical people has used it before - and nothing wrong with that!

Can you say if you're planning to support touch screens or if the plan is
to control the flight computer entirely from the control column? I can't
see any control switches in the photos of panels. My German is fairly
poor, so I wasn't able to tell from the description on the text.

Hi Martin,

I must admit, that as the subject is quite new to me, I don´t know what I need and which size.
At a first look at things, I would prefer a 7" Touch-screen, which I think its big anough to let my fingers work on it during flight.
But surely thoughts can change, the more I get involved in the subject.
As you might have seen in my newest blog, I try to get a workshop organized at our place in Germany, so I hope to find a few guys joining me in order to help each other and at the end we come out of it with a few ready Flight-Computers. Would be phantastic.

Regards Klaus
