2.7 Basic Instrumentation
The REMOS GX is available in the cockpit configurations
“Explorer”, “Aviator I”, “Aviator II”. For all cockpit variants the
compass is neatly arranged on the top of the panel, because of
electro-magnetic reasons. If the aircraft equipped with an
adjustable pitch propeller, an electronic controller is integrated
into the left cockpit panel always (not for ASTM aircraft certified
in USA).
The basic equipment of your REMOS GX consists of the
following instruments: ASI, VSI, Altimeter, Slip Indicator and an
analog Tachometer. Optional it is possible to equip the aircraft
with an electric artificial Horizon, Directional Gyro, Turn and
Bank Indicator. Please refer to the appropriate manuals for
detailed information.
2.8 Control Panel
Most of the major controls and switches to operate the aircraft
are combined on the central control panel. All switches are
labeled definitely.
The following functions are contained:
•Flap control lever (white)
•Anti Collision Light (ACL)
•Electric fuel pump
•Navigation lights (wing & tail)
•Instrument lighting
•Landing light
•Autopilot engage (optional)
•Trim position indicator (LED, left)
•Flap position indicator (LED, right)
•Throttle control with friction lock

2.9 Electric Fuses
The electrical system of the REMOS GX consists of a Master-
Bus system, which allows installation of additional equipment
very easily. The Master-Bus is separated into Master and
Avionics circuits, each populated by 6 automatic circuit
breakers. An additional charge fuse is located in front of the
firewall, beneath the battery bracket.
All the circuit breakers are labeled, additionally the decal to the
right is applied inside the cockpit, to give more detailed
information.
In kind of a defect, the circuit breakers may also be replaced by
standard automotive fuses.

Additional Terminals
Two extension panels are located to the left and to right of the
cockpit frame which are used as follows:
Left Panel
At the upper position the oil
temperature control is installed.
Push – to increase temperature,
Pull – to decrease temperature.
At the lower position the dual
throttle control is located. The dual
throttle lever does not feature a

2.13 Avionics Equipment (optional)
The REMOS GX provides a modular cockpit system which
enables to install a wide range of COMM and NAV equipment. A
radio rack for the most popular devices, associated with the
REMOS „plug-n-fly“ harnesses allows easy installation of add-
on´s and guarantees interference-free operation.
The radio rack is held in place by 6 shock mounts to give a
maximum protection against vibration. Due to the modular
design, the complete radio rack can be removed from the
cockpit frame as a whole, which eases servicing and alterations.
More information about how to disassemble are given in section
8 “Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing”. Nevertheless we
strongly recommend to contact an avionics shop for all electrical
belongings.
Please refer to the appropriate manufacturer manuals for
detailed operation instructions.
The following pages will provide more information about all
avionics combinations available from the factory.
