I received an e-mail from Dynon Avionics yesterday with news on new features for their D-10 EFIS. They are now shipping unheated Angle of Attack/Pitot probes, and they plan to add Outside Air Temperature sensors later. OAT support will allow the EFIS to calculate True Airspeed.

We would like to take this opportunity to update all of you on our emaillist as to the latest from Dynon Avionics. As of this writing, we haveshipped over 450 EFIS-D10s. We are very pleased with the market acceptanceof our product and look forward to serving all of our current and futurecustomers with the best customer service we can provide.
The latest developments include the release of the unheated version of theDynon AOA/Pitot probe and the release of V1.05 software to support it. TheAOA/Pitot probe completes the original vision for the EFIS-D10 and gives thepilot complete flight information in a highly usable format all on onecompact display. We are continuing to work on both the heated version ofthe AOA/Pitot probe and the OAT (outside air temperature) sensor andsupporting software. Pricing for the OAT sensor has not been set at thistime but will continue the Dynon tradition of outstanding performance at avery affordable price. The OAT sensor will require the external compassmodule (EDC-D10) that contains the hardware interface and the signalconditioning needed for the sensor. With the OAT sensor, the EFIS-D10 willadd an INFO type display of OAT, TAS (true airspeed), and DA (densityaltitude). We hope to have both the heated AOA/Pitot probe and the OAToption available late this year.
On the manufacturing side, we have caught up with almost all back orders andwill generally be able to ship an EFIS-D10 within two weeks of receivingyour order. If you have held off purchasing a unit because of the wait, nowis the time to place your order! Pricing remains the same and is asfollows:

We continue to monitor various email lists as well as email sent directly tous. We are very pleased with the flight reports on these lists and willcontinue to make improvements in the product as we are made aware of anyissues with the EFIS. If you havenât had a chance to see the EFIS inperson, we will be sharing a booth with Aerotronics at Copperstate. Stop byand take a look and weâll answer any questions you might have. Weâve alsorecently updated our web site with a revised FAQ, new pictures of the EFISdisplays and dimensions of the AOA/pitot probe (www.dynonavionics.com).
