I hope everyone at Sequoia Aircraft is doing well! It has been quite a while that I have been out of the loop, but thanks to your wonderful website I have been able to keep track of Falco activities around the world!

Please add this picture to my project file on your website. Currently, there exist a picture in the building series that shows my instrument panel, just metal with no holes and the caption reads "Yes, David plans to install instruments". Well, now, "David has instruments" installed, interfaced with each other and working! (and it only took three years!) Actually, the first two of the previous three years were void of project progress and the past full year was devoted to the completion of the Falco's wiring system. By far, the wiring has been the most complicated task to date, but, the instrument package is worth all the effort. Highlights are:

        Infinity 7-Function Control Stick Grips
        AOA Professional
        DFC-200 2-Axis Autopilot System
        VM-1000 Engine Monitor System
        EC-100 Advisory/Cautionary System
        Sandel SN-3308 EHSI
        Garmin GNS-430 NAV/COM/VOR/LOC/GPS
        Garmin GNC-250 XL COM/GPS
        Garmin GMA-340 Audio Panel
        Garmin GTX-327 Transponder
        Sony AM/FM/XM/CD stereo
