Where do you base your Plane.
Hello Jay,
A few years ago I wrote a blog post about the computer setup in my Zodiac. You can read it here. I have changed a few things since then. I have upgraded the tablet to a Motion CL900 that is running Windows 7. I no longer use chartCase Flightprep software or Flight Guide. I still use RMS Flightsoft. I use a different serial to USB adapter - the prior one does not work with windows 7. I use a 7 port USB hub now. I have a USB port on the panel now so I can plug my camera into the panel and the computer finds and posts my picture online automatically while I fly.

Welcome to the family.
I wish you the all the best with your project. If you ever get the chance to visit the Zenith factory please take the time to stop by our builder assist facility too. We are their newest and nearest builder assist facility and like to have visitors. We are right here in Mexico, Mo., not far from the factory.
Take care and good luck,
