Cradles for Compaq Aero 1500

Cradles for iPAQ 2200, 3000 and 5000 series

Cradles for many PDA types
This is the best cradle I offer.

Cradles for any PDA

The panel mounted DB-9f connector is the panel end of either a CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5 cable. The CAI-Pnl-0.5 cable runs from the back of a Cambridge 302 or Goddard PS-5a power converter or Borgelt PDA-PS power converter to a panel mounted DB-9f connector.  The LX7007-Pnl-0.5 runs from the back of an LX7007 to a panel mounted DB-9f connector.  The panel end of either of those cables mounts to the back of the instrument panel and is accessible through a small rectangular hole in the panel.  The short cable from the PDA cradle is connected to the panel mounted CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5.  The panel end of the CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5 can be mounted anywhere on the instrument panel - near where the gooseneck is attached to the panel. 

The gooseneck can be mounted directly through a 0.39" (10 mm) hole the panel and secured with the supplied nut and lock washer on the back side of the panel.   However, many pilots prefer the optional GnBase2 gooseneck mounting base which provides a more stable mounting point for the gooseneck and also makes it easy to remove the gooseneck at any time.  When the gooseneck is mounted through the panel it is tough to remove because it is secured with a nut an washer on the back side of the panel.  The GnBase2 mounts on the front (pilot side) of the instrument panel and the gooseneck screws into it. 

Parts List

• PDA Cradle with short 0.3 m (11.8") power data cable to a DB-9m connector
• GNeck2-Assy-Panel-DB-9 - Includes the items below:
  • RAM-GN3-238 adapter plate for mounting the cradle to the gooseneck
  • GNeck2 gooseneck in 3, 6 or 9 inch (7.6, 15.2 or 22.9 cm) lengths
  • GnBase2 Round gooseneck mounting base
  • CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5 extension cable with panel mounted connector

The Gn57mmPlateDB-9 fits in a 57 mm instrument hole and includes a mounting hole for the gooseneck and mounting holes for either a CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5 cable.  The CAI-Pnl-0.5 cable runs from the back of a Cambridge 302 or Goddard PS-5a power converter or Borgelt PDA-PS power converter to a panel mounted DB-9f connector.  The LX7007-Pnl-0.5 runs from the back of an LX7007 to a panel mounted DB-9f connector.  The Gn57mmPlateDB-9 is designed specifically as a mounting point for the DB-9f connector.  The short cable from the PDA cradle is connected to the panel mounted CAI-Pnl-0.5 or LX7007-Pnl-0.5.

The GnBase2 mounts on the front (pilot side) of the instrument panel and the gooseneck screws into it.  The power/data cable plugs directly into the flight computer or GPS flight recorder or Goddard PS-5a power converter or Borgelt PDA-PS power converter.  The downside of this installation is that the cradle cannot be removed from the glider without removing the instrument that the cable runs by.

Note: The gooseneck adapter plates are designed so that it is possible to route the power/data cable through the gooseneck.  However, the cradle is shipped with the DB-9m connector already attached.  You would need to remove and reattach the DB-9m connector if you decided to route the cable through the gooseneck.  I don't recommend that because it is difficult to do well and will probably reduce the reliability of the system (don't mess with a well soldered connector).

Parts List

• PDA Cradle with 1 m (39.4") power data cable to a DB-9m connector

  • RAM-GN3-238 adapter plate for mounting the cradle to the gooseneck
  • GNeck2 gooseneck in 3, 6 or 9 inch (7.6, 15.2 or 22.9 cm) lengths
  • GnBase2 Round gooseneck mounting base
