Hi, I have many articulated arm and goosenecks available on my RAM web page at: http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/ram.htm Good Soaring, Which I can recommend - the RAM articulated arm unit holds my old (heavy) LX20 perfectly, even on those rough grass landings. Paul Remde "Ian Strachan" wrote in message news In article , Jim Hendrix writes I've used the CAI 400 display for a few years. It came with an articulated mount (two gimble balls) that I attached to an instrument-hole blank. The motion of the mount, when punching the screen, was agrivating, so I canned the gimbled arm in favor of three long brass screws with nylon standoffs. Now it's rigidly fixed to the panel and much less of a distraction. Conversely my glider mount is rigid and sometimes I cannot see the LCD well, particularly in bright sunlight (yes, we do occasionally get this in the UK!). So at the end of this season my syndicate are thinking of fitting a mount on a ball-joint. The joint will have to be capable of being pretty well locked, though, to prevent the effect you mention. In gliders flown by more than one pilot, I am not sure that a fixed mount is the best solution. -- Ian Strachan Bentworth Hall West Tel: +44 1420 564 195 Bentworth, Alton Fax: +44 1420 563 140 Hampshire GU34 5LA, ENGLAND |
