Description

Open Source Aviation

21 July 2014. MakerPlane and partner Vx Aviation today announced a low-cost, easy-to install haptic stick shaker for Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft. The SWZL-1A is an aircraft “stick shaker” controller system that provides haptic pre-stall warning based on a stall vane switch or Angle of Attack (AoA) information received from an electronic flight information system (EFIS) serial data stream. The device is compatible with EFIS devices from Dynon, Garmin and Grand Rapids Technology (GRT). See the full press release

16 July 2014. MakerPlane and its development partner Vx Aviation today announced an enhanced version of the popular M-PWR-2 trim controller. The M-PWR-2AT adds automatic pitch and roll trim control to aircraft that use Dynon SkyView autopilot systems. For more information see the full announcement here.

We are very happy to announce another open source avionics project released by MakerPlane The M-PWR-2 is a two-channel variable speed trim motor control device developed primarily for amateur-built aircraft applications. The device features two all-electronic motor drive channels in one compact package, capable of controlling Ray Allen (RAC) or Firgelli servo motors directly. Read the full post

We are very happy to announce another open source avionics project released by MakerPlane from Vern Little This is also available for purchase in the MakerPlane Store. The P-TACH converts the electrically noisy and variable magneto P-Lead signal from aircraft magnetos into a stable digital pulse waveform for processing by modern digital engine monitoring systems.

MakerPlane Project Overview

MakerPlane is an open source aviation organization which will enable people to build and fly their own safe, high quality, reasonable cost plane using advanced personal manufacturing equipment such as CNC mills and 3D printers. Our projects include open source avionics software to enable state-of-the-art digital flight instruments and display capabilities.

Basically we are designing an aircraft that can be built on a computer controlled mill at home, or at a makerspace which is easy to assemble and quick to build. The plans and instructions will be available for free to anyone that wants them

The general specifications for the first MakerPlane aircraft (v1.0) can be found on the MP 1.0 project page located in . A direct link to the documents section is here:
