Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

Cool pictures.
How do you like the StratoMaster?
For a homebuilder like myself the price/features are certainly attractive for the StratoMaster/Enigma EFIS's, but I've never run across many comments from users.
I was attracted to the customizable setup, light weight and simple installation.
It works ok. I'm still getting used to digital readouts but it was not hard. The features seem to work and there are many features I am not using.
The instructions are terrible but after playing around with it a while you figure your way around.
My unit just went dark after the first month of flying. I sent it back and waited 4 months for a replacment. Said RDAC fail and shut off even though the firewall RDAC unit was ok. Connectors are like an old stereo with bare wires and set screws.
Called and called. It was coming, shipping and then they just plain said "who are you" But I kept referencing my order numbers and serial numbers and finally they agreed to send a loaner so I could check if the problem was airplane or their unit. a unit showed up after a few more weeks. No explanation or bill so I installed it.
It had paperwork saying it was a "loaner" but I never sent it back and they never questioned me. So slightly used but it worked. The only problem is the voltage reads about three volts too high. Airplane bus voltage is ok but the unit calibration is off. They said that was what the problem was and never offered how to fix it. I won't send it back unless it goes black because of the mess last time.
100 hours of flying since then and except for the voltage it seems to work.
I have the internal compass module and it seems ok. Did not try the gyro package.
I guess the sonex guys are having good luck with them.
Doing it again I would install normal round altimeter, airspeed. Dial indicate tach and oil temp/ pressure. Digital EGT/CHT/Volt/Amp/ timer.
Make sure you install two static ports to prevent needle jump with the prop pulses.
Buy a good quality instruments. Non TSO and falcon don't seem that great. Go to a scrap yard and get some cores. have them rebuilt and you will be happy. Preferred airparts has some good deals.
