(Please Subscribe! And this was filmed before the Corona Virus outbreak). Check out this portable AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System)! And we were blown away by the low price point (which is extremely rare in aviation). Turn your small piston airplane, your experimental, or any plane into a glass cockpit with the WingBug. Dan @SFilmsTakingOff and Christy @PilotChristy talk to Bryan Tittle of Wingbug about their small portable AHRS device that attaches easily to the outside of your plane, then it feeds the data to your iPad. Check them out: www.wingbug.com/
One note: We have not received any compensation or favors from Wingbug-- we're genuinely impressed.
In The Hangar is sponsored by Wingfield Aviation: wingfieldaviation.com/ Looking for a good A&P shop? Check out Wingfield in North Texas. They will take care of you.
Also-- check out Flying Eyes! Dan and Christy both swear by these sunglasses: flyingeyesoptics.com/

I believe WingBug is likely a fine device for some, but, for me, the BOM is superior in so many ways. For example, the BOM 1. has WAAS GPS (WingBug does not), 2. has self generating power, 3. battery never needs charged between flights, 4. starts automatically (engine vibration), 5. stops automatically (10 min non use), 6. has protective cover that disconnects the battery between flights, 7. has heated pitot, 8. data recording via removable SD card and via iPad, 9. Transmits WIFI data using IOS and Android, 10. Capable of pairing w/3rd Party Apps, including ForeFlight, Avare, XiFlyGPS, WingXpro, and many more. 11. Aluminum Housing and Mount, 12. Approved for certified aircraft (NORSEE) 13. Weight 13oz We started using BOM last summer on our Zenith 750 STOL, and it is outstanding. Our aircraft can be found on Elmendorf AFB, and seen flying all over south central Alaska. You can purchase the BOM without ADSB-In for around the same price as WingBug, but even then it's still superior.

Wingbug does have the WAAS GPS. Would be nice to have the heated pitot tube. But for $700 more, doesn't seem worth it.

1,350?! That’s even more than a BOM!

Nice equipment but I do like the BOM much better.

The iLevil BOM performs the same functions but produces it's own power via a self powered/self charging turbine so charging is not required and you will not have to worry about battery life during a long flight. The BOM costs $2000.00 verses the WingBug at $1350.00. However, iLevel has received FAA NORSEE approval for installation of the BOM on certified Aircraft while the WingBug has not. iLevil website for the BOM: levilaviation.com/thebom/ WingBug website: www.wingbug.com/

Does the iLevil have more drag?

@Mistamannfour 4 жыл бұрын

@@TakingOff I doubt it. Based on shape I would think the iLevel BOM would have less drag than the WingBug. The iLevel BOM looks like a small aerodynamic bomb placed underneath the wing of an airplane.

@@Mistamannfour You can buy the BOM for a lot less than $2,000 if you ask about promo's. They also come with or w/o ADSB-In.

I am curious if it works with foreflight or other apps as well? And will it pair with multiple IPads?

How critical is mounting angle of the pitot probe. Is there a range of permissible angles? Do you align to the longitudinal axis of the plane or of the wing chord?

@747-pilot 4 жыл бұрын

I'm sure you've got to mount it within a certain reasonable level, of the aircraft's axes, and then either you calibrate it manually or possibly it "auto-calibrates" itself while on the ground, just like you have to, with many devices (for example: move the aircraft a small distance in a straight line, and it's set).

It seems to me that in Aviation that Pilots have been for long Brainwashed into accepting that everything in flying should be expensive. This of course should not be so but it takes a lot of effort to change such attitudes. I built a Jodel D18 two seater for less than £2,000 but know of one guy who built his identical plane for in excess of £15,000. You do the maths on the exchange rate. Regards, Jim in NI UK

@scottmiller4711 4 жыл бұрын

Why is equipment so expensive? I think the answer is volume...the manufacturers make thousands not millions of those devices which would lower the cost, think of the market for these devices it is very small.

@Mistamannfour 4 жыл бұрын

Scott, correct on volume! You also have to factor in the cost to obtain FAA TSO and STC for aviation products that also drive up costs.
