<DIV></DIV>>Let me address your questions:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>1) Will it be possible to connect the motor part to a real gouge ? will it
<DIV></DIV>>fit?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>No. The drive unit and the gauge head are designed to work together and are
<DIV></DIV>>intrinsically different than a real gauge's design. The reason for the
<DIV></DIV>>difference is allow for the gauges to be modular. The drive module is the
<DIV></DIV>>same for all other gauges and gauge head sizes. The modularity allows for
<DIV></DIV>>the buyer to purchase just the static gauge heads to save money and upgrade
<DIV></DIV>>later.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>2) So does this include HSI/ADI? (I think the A-4k has F-16 ADI and HSI
<DIV></DIV>>after the "Kahu" upgrade)
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>No. Not at this time. The complexity of those instruments is so high that
<DIV></DIV>>the cost is prohibitive. I will be looking at ways to make this happen in
<DIV></DIV>>the future, but the priority right now is with the round gauges.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>3) Will you have some sort of PKD kit so that we can add our own gauge
<DIV></DIV>>faces? (like a generic gauge which I could make into an A-4 ASI...)
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>No. To keep costs at a minimum you will not be able to dismantle the
<DIV></DIV>>instrument to change the dial face. However, I expect to be able to offer
<DIV></DIV>>custom orders in the near future. Right now the focus is on the F-16 set
<DIV></DIV>>and getting that into production. Once that has been accomplished, it
<DIV></DIV>>should be possible to order custom faces.
<DIV></DIV>>
