Unfortunately no, and often it’s not trivial to legally install one.
- andromeduck 7y agoIf you can install an iPad surely it wouldn't be too difficult to also install a battery pack to boost the battery life if nothing else.
- ryanlol 7y agoThat's fair, but you'll still need to keep the battery pack charged :)
- dzhiurgis 7y agoCan you put a little solar panel instead? :D
- ryanlol 7y agoPretty sure you can, but you’ll have to use tape and not screws to hold it in place so it won’t be a permanent installation :) But yeah, go experimental and then you never have to worry about these things. Lots of great value kit planes out there.
- heelix 7y agoThe issue is certified aircraft. I think the 'certified' USB charger was around $300 for the part when we installed one - in addition to the certified mechanics time. The experimental side is cheap.
