I've installed the Pro G, and I love it. The company was great to work with,
and the documentation was good, and it has performed as expected in my
pre-flight testing. I should get in the air this spring, but so far I've got
no complaints, and I'm happy that I didn't have to make my harnesses (the
standard stuff plus transponder to EFIS, GPS to ELT, EFIS to Radios, etc.)

Brett,
Did you get documentation with the HUB so that cables could be made from
scratch in the future, or do you always have to use their cables?

My equipment list is below. THe only gotcha I had was that I intended to
install a cell phone interface, and that is really a third comm to the Pro G
Hub, so I had to return the unit for a minor retrofit. They were the only ones
I knew of doing this kind of work when I got mine, and I'd decided that I'd had
enough fun running my power wiring and EFIS engine probe leads, that I didn't
need the experience of hooking up all of the avionics. Plus, they're so
expensive, I didn't want to risk damaging them. It's nice because I can
display the SL30 and 430 guidance data on the EFIS, my EFIS encoder goes to my
transponder, my cell and entertainment inputs go to my intercomm, my GPS feeds
my ELT, etc.
1) Blue Mountain EFIS/One - SL30 sends VOR CDI/GS info to E/1 for display
2) Blue Mountain EFIS/Sport (planned) - same SL30 interconnect
3) Garmin GTX-327 - Transonder gets gray code altitude data from E/1
4) Artex G406 - 3 mode ELT with GPS position broadcast, accepts data from
Garmin, GPS nav interface board not yet purchased
5) Garmin 430 - GPS nav/comm
6) SL30 - Nav/comm
7) Blue Mountain 2-axis autopilot
 Sirius radio into to intercomm
9) PMA7000B - w/record function & playback
10) DVD/CD entertainment for back seats, w/intercomm interconnect and isolate
11) Aux entertainment (MP3/iPod) input

Frank,
Well, I consider my panel a fairly complex IFR system, so I would disagree, even
though I'm not flying. I haven't found something I wanted or needed that it
couldn't do, so I'm not sure where that opinion would come from to be honest.

Jim, Brett and the rest of you good folks
I am running with this thread on the Vansairforce forum and some over there
seem to think that if the panel is simple VFR the hub is fine, but the more
complex the panel the less capable the hub would be. At first blush I
believe these are well meaning opinoins not based on facts. So are they
talking fact or opinion.
TIA
