I spoke with the representatives at Dynon and Aspen yesterday after reviewing their products on line. Both claim to have a "bigger, better all-encompassing" system coming out for us in 2009. Neither could give pricing right now, but at this time I'm inclined to go with Dynon products for all of the reasons Doc and others here have listed. The pricing and the sales rep at Aspen were barely accommodating and I noted that the battery back up for Aspen systems was only :30 minutes versus the Dynon systems' 1:30. (Maybe they have a better back-up option for another thousand $ or so). I did like the Aspen add-on buildable options and the fact that the presentation and information on their units was very similar to what I was looking at in the 767/757. Unfortunately, the pricing wasn't much below it either.

I got all excited when DaBear mentioned he was considering their FLIR, Cat III, and radar jamming capabilities. I really need that too and I'm sure that, for a price, Aspen will supply it.

Thanks Doc. I'm having my financial advisor.... er, - my "avionics man" take a look at the options listed here. This information really helps.

I am looking to put an auto pilot in my YAK 52. Does anyone have any experience in what will be involved. Is there a kit available for the yak or will I have to learn as I go. STEC of something similar is what I am considering

Believe it or not Dynon has a reasonably priced unit that interfaces with their other avionics. It was debuted at OSH.
I know I sound like a Dynon rep. Not so. I’ve just been very happy with their stuff especially for the money. Blue Mountain feel from my graces earlier when they absolutely refused to back their products that some of my friends in the squadron had in their RVs. It was not pretty. The claim by Blue Mountain was that they had done something to the unit to cause the software failure. Not 4 units, one maybe.
I just have great service from Dynon and absolutely appreciate the fact that when I call their office I get to talk to a human being the not only has knowledge of their product but can give a concise answer to help fix the problem.
Doc
