Activity is picking up here. Michael Saussen stopped by to chat, a few folks with another RV-10 interior option dropped off some brochures and a 3rd RV-10 is here. This one is John Quint's, built by John Nyes.
Also a correction to yesterday's post - the RV-10 identified as TruTrak's is actually Alex De Dominicis'.
One of the interesting things that's happened is Garmin's ad on the back of the program. It announces a new product - the G600 which is touted as a retrofit type of EFIS so I assume it's available to the homebuilt crowd. Photo makes it look like a miniature G1000 and the ad refers you to their website for more info... Looks like there was a minor coordination issue, website as of yesterday had to mention of it. Photo of the ad is attached and we'll get more info tomorrow. File size might be a bit large but I didn't want to sacrifice the readability of the text.

Bob,
I'll be coming in before noon most likely. Will see you guys
shortly. Pass it on to Gary and John if you see them.
I'll probably not check my email between now and Wed. so
if anyone tries to get a hold of me, try the cell.
Will catch up with everyone a little mid-week, and then
fully after OSH. See everyone there! Glad to see they're
showing up.

The BIG and HIGH PRICE update from Garmin is as follows:
The Shakeup Continues: Garmin Announces G900X For Experimentals
Garmin Casting Its Net A LOT Wider
Continuing its major product announcements Sunday at AirVenture 2006, Garmin
filled ANN in on its new G900X avionics suite, which will be available on a
number of leading homebuilt aircraft -- including Lancair's IV/IV-P and
ES/ES-P, and Van's RV-10, RV-9/9A, and RV-7/7A.
This is the first time Garmin has offered an all-glass panel for homebuilt
airframes.
"The G900X is a highly reliable system that dramatically increases safety of
flight and situational awareness," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president
of marketing. "We are confident that our industry-leading technology and
core principles -- commitment to quality, reliability, service, and value --
will make the G900X an extremely popular avionics suite with kitplane
owners."
The G900X integrates all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain,
traffic, surveillance, weather, and engine sensor data into two 10.4-inch,
high-definition LCDs. The color TFT displays on the G900X suite boast XGA
(1,024x768-pixel) resolution with wide viewing angles. Customized brackets
will help simplify the assembly process and allow homebuilders to install
sensitive instruments with the assurance that the Garmin G900X certified
distributor will approve the installation. The G900X distributor-supplied
installation package also includes the wiring harness and installation
drawings.
The following G900X system components will be available for Lancair and
Van's owners and builders:
a.. The primary flight display (PFD) to replace many of the traditional
cockpit instruments. The G900X presents this information in an integrated
fashion on a large-format display, and the multi-function display (MFD) puts
all aircraft-systems monitoring and flight-planning functions at the pilot's
fingertips
b.. Designed with reversionary capabilities, allowing all flight-critical
data to transfer seamlessly to a single display for added safety during
flight
c.. Solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), which can
align while in motion, including in-flight dynamic restarts
d.. Digital Air Data Computer
e.. Engine-monitoring display
f.. Mode S transponder with Traffic Information Service (TIS)
g.. Dual integrated radio modules that provide WAAS-certified IFR
oceanic-approved GPS; VHF navigation with ILS; and VHF communication with
16-watt transceivers and 8.33-kHz channel spacing
h.. Digital audio control system
i.. Garmin SafeTaxi airport diagrams that help pilots navigate unfamiliar
airports
j.. Optional integrated satellite weather datalink and digital-quality
audio via XM Satellite Radio
k.. Optional remote Flight Management System (FMS) controller for
simplified waypoint, navigation, and communication tuning and selection
l.. Optional integrated Class-B Terrain Awareness and Warning System
(TAWS) with worldwide terrain and U.S. obstacle database, which does not
require and external LRU as with other TAWS systems
The G900X will be available in the first quarter of 2007 at a suggested
retail price of $66,745 through Garmin G900X qualified distributors.
AS FOR ME, I really like my "CHEAP" Grand Rapids three screen system.

Hope to have everything back together and in the air shortly.

Nicely priced for the upper echelon in the society! I expect that Garmin will have a more logical menus and function than GRT but I think I stick with my GRTs.
Do not archive.

More interesting in this is the G600 which is a smaller, combined version of the two screen G1000/G900. It's priced at $27k to directly compete with Chelton's. Of course it doesn't have HIT's, rendered terrain, or any other of the advanced stuff we see.

Ummm ya, haven't quite figured that out yet. He said it wasn't the RV-12 but he has the prototype there. Looks good BTW. Cessna also has their less than complete LSA there. I haven't had time to do any serious digging there yet and will hopefully have more info in a couple days. I won't make it there today so no new news. Bob is the man camping on site and is plugged into happenings so he might know.

Nicely priced for the upper echelon in the society! I expect that Garmin will have a more logical menus and function than GRT but I think I stick with my GRTs.

The Shakeup Continues: Garmin Announces G900X For Experimentals
Garmin Casting Its Net A LOT Wider
Continuing its major product announcements Sunday at AirVenture 2006, Garmin filled ANN in on its new G900X avionics suite, which will be available on a number of leading homebuilt aircraft -- including Lancair's IV/IV-P and ES/ES-P, and Van's RV-10, RV-9/9A, and RV-7/7A.
This is the first time Garmin has offered an all-glass panel for homebuilt airframes.
"The G900X is a highly reliable system that dramatically increases safety of flight and situational awareness," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing. "We are confident that our industry-leading technology and core principles -- commitment to quality, reliability, service, and value -- will make the G900X an extremely popular avionics suite with kitplane owners."
The G900X integrates all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, surveillance, weather, and engine sensor data into two 10.4-inch, high-definition LCDs. The color TFT displays on the G900X suite boast XGA (1,024x768-pixel) resolution with wide viewing angles. Customized brackets will help simplify the assembly process and allow homebuilders to install sensitive instruments with the assurance that the Garmin G900X certified distributor will approve the installation. The G900X distributor-supplied installation package also includes the wiring harness and installation drawings.
The following G900X system components will be available for Lancair and Van's owners and builders:
a.. The primary flight display (PFD) to replace many of the traditional cockpit instruments. The G900X presents this information in an integrated fashion on a large-format display, and the multi-function display (MFD) puts all aircraft-systems monitoring and flight-planning functions at the pilot's fingertips
b.. Designed with reversionary capabilities, allowing all flight-critical data to transfer seamlessly to a single display for added safety during flight
c.. Solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), which can align while in motion, including in-flight dynamic restarts
d.. Digital Air Data Computer
e.. Engine-monitoring display
f.. Mode S transponder with Traffic Information Service (TIS)
g.. Dual integrated radio modules that provide WAAS-certified IFR oceanic-approved GPS; VHF navigation with ILS; and VHF communication with 16-watt transceivers and 8.33-kHz channel spacing
h.. Digital audio control system
i.. Garmin SafeTaxi airport diagrams that help pilots navigate unfamiliar airports
j.. Optional integrated satellite weather datalink and digital-quality audio via XM Satellite Radio
k.. Optional remote Flight Management System (FMS) controller for simplified waypoint, navigation, and communication tuning and selection
l.. Optional integrated Class-B Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) with worldwide terrain and U.S. obstacle database, which does not require and external LRU as with other TAWS systems
The G900X will be available in the first quarter of 2007 at a suggested retail price of $66,745 through Garmin G900X qualified distributors.
AS FOR ME, I really like my "CHEAP" Grand Rapids three screen system.

Ummm ya, haven't quite figured that out yet. He said it wasn't the RV-12 but he has the prototype there. Looks good BTW. Cessna also has their less than complete LSA there. I haven't had time to do any serious digging there yet and will hopefully have more info in a couple days. I won't make it there today so no new news. Bob is the man camping on site and is plugged into happenings so he might know.

It also does not include the Nav/Coms, the Audio Panel or the Transponder. I don’t know if it even has a GPS. You have to add all of these things to make the system complete, which would make it just about the same price as the G900, which is specifically why they sell it as a retrofit for people who have a good radio stack but want to upgrade from a six-pack.
This e-mail may not actually be sent for a couple of days, even though I am sending it on Tuesday, 7-25, so pardon me if this is old info by the time it posts.
