Just updated the video(s) so there is one video. (darn uploading from my phone). Hopefully this will help out. Will have a review while flying soon.. ...

Set up the guages with panel builder.. Not bad at all.. Diagma Alpha Panel with Panel Builder https://imgur.com/gallery/WL3ipBM

Should be doing a bit more this weekend when I get home.

Got my new build of the alpha yesterday. Had to leave early this morning on biz trip.. But.. got the legs and alpha assembled will upload videos tonight (if you check my channel you can see all the clips i uploaded)

My replacement alpha set should be arriving some time next week (I expect), Although I will be out of town so it will be a couple weeks before I can do a part 2 unboxing & config/review.

Yup.. I am going to put a video together when I get the replacement.. It looks like they have replaced the metal screws with nuts/bolts on the metal box, so that might make maintenance a bit easier. I have to give them some props for jumping into an industry like this. Standing behind their product and customers means a lot to me. Making things right, and contined improvement. I will be doing a full unboxing redux, along with full setup videos, and then in p3d videos. Was planning on trying this with a2a 172.. Perfect practice plane for my daughter. Will post back here when I get the replacement unit.

Yes it is just usb powered, you do need a 29" ultra wide monitor.. seems that LG was my only option

Quick update.. The owner of diagma called me this morning in response to my return request and the issues I had had thus far, and offer to replace with a fixed version for no charge, and they will pick up shipping for me to return the alpha.. I know what it is like to start a new business and customer service is a way that a small business can overcome issues like this.. So. I actually removed my videos and will withhold judgment with the new revision.. The take away here is that the company is willing to work with its customers to make sure they are satisfied. Time to pack this version.. Some of the issues from current version of screws have been replaced with bolts and the yoke side to side has been fixed. I look forward to working with Diagma to get the updated hardware. Since originally writing this an hour ago, I have already received the fedex return labels.

For the panel? 29" ultra wide.

The mixture control fell off, got it fixed though.. there was a stripped screw that was insane to get off.. Not sure if they are titanium or what.. could not drill or saw it off.. After 30 mins of prying/using smaller pliers. Managed to free it.. Here is a shot from the inside.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hLsF5cPKdTjTPRqF6

I just received my Alpha.. I have unboxing video on Youtube, but have an issue with a couple of things.. Hold off on pulling the trigger just yet..

Looks like my alpha set ships out today with delivery next monday.. They have improved the design, and also raised prices a bit.. Glad to get in early.. photos. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cw6mcVS7f1212sPy9

I am guessing this is what is holding up the Alpha order that I placed a week and a half ago. No big deal, but ready to hear about how the new yoke works. I can post about the alpha platform when I get it if anyone would find that useful.
