All our mounts come in a variety of different mounting
arrangements to suit individual pilots tastes and cockpit layouts.
When choosing which mount will be best consider:-
Cockpit entry and exit routes. (Easy exiting in an
emergency is a fundamental requirement)
Lifting or non lifting panel.
Front opening or side opening canopy.
Existing mountings and other instruments.
Below we have set out some suggestions for you to

SFM-120 |
SFM-110 |
SFM-130 |
SFM-140 |
SFM-150 |
SFM-160/165 |
|
Works in most
cases and can be fitted to existing drop in camera mounts. This mount
can be moved in all directions to allow optimum viewing and
accessibility of the instrument |
Like removable
but fixed both to the glider and is not able to rotate like the
SFM-120 |
Good for side
opening canopies but presents problems when trying to detach cables in
an emergency. Like the SFM-110 this mount is not as articulated as
some. |
Good for lift
up panels as the instrument wiring is kept short and exit routes are
clear. Fully positional in all axis. |
Not quite as
solid as an Instrument panel mount but a way of moving the mount to
one side or if panel space is limited. Fully positional in all axis. |
This is for
those with a spare hole in an instrument panel. Like all panel
mounting option very good with lifting panels. Fully positional in all
axis. |
